UDWiki:Administration/Protections/Archive/2011 06
This page is for the request of page protection within the Urban Dead wiki. Due to philosophical concerns, the ability to protect pages is restricted to system operators. As such, regular users will need to request a protection from the system operators. For consistency and accountability, system operators also adhere to the guidelines listed here.
Guidelines for Protection Requests
All Protection Requests must contain the following information in order to be considered:
- A link to the page in question. Preferably bolded for visibility.
- A reason for protection. This should be short and to the point.
- A signed datestamp. This can be easily done by adding ~~~~ to the end of your request.
Any protection request that does not contain these three pieces of information will not be considered, and will be removed by a system operator.
Once the protection request has been entered, the request shall remain on this page, where it will be reviewed by a member of the Sysop team, and action taken accordingly. Once action has been taken, the system operator will add a comment including a signed datestamp detailing his course of action, and the request will be moved into the Recent Actions queue, where it will remain for one week. After that week is up, it may be moved to the archive (see navigation box below). If the Protection has been granted, the system operator should place the tag {{protect}} on the page(s) that have been protected.
In the event of a system operator requesting a Protection, all the previous points will apply, excepting that a system operator other than the requestor shall review and take action on the request.

It's an archive. I'll like to see this protected as I'll be doing all the archiving in the foreseeable future (and it shouldn't be edited anyway.) Linkthewindow Talk 13:04, 19 July 2009 (BST)
- Community based archives like this don't get protected. In the long term, it's a bad idea. For example, GA's. Cheese and I were the only ones who cycled them but you just don't do it, let the community have input if they'd like. --ϑϑℜ 14:07, 19 July 2009 (BST)
- No no no. Unless you want to go through protection edit requests (totally forgotten what that page is called right now) every time you want to edit it. --xoxo 14:16, 19 July 2009 (BST)
- oh lol its this page. Well there you go.--xoxo 14:17, 19 July 2009 (BST)

New suggestion templates layout
Its not perfect by any means, but all parts of both templates now seem to be in agreement about what the procedure is. Corss posted from talk suggestions. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 20:09, 1 June 2009 (BST)
Let's go back to this request, it's gone stagnant. Because I'm short on time, Ross, could you please produce the template which is to be changed also, and (I'm pretty sure it's out there) a dif on the old template and your proposed edits, please? DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 03:39, 23 June 2009 (BST)
Denied! Come back later Ross, when you have the time to bring me those dif links, etc. DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 03:50, 1 July 2009 (BST)
Suggestion:20090701_Laser_Beam_Eyes_for_Fiffy
Humourous suggestion. I'd do it myself but given the number of people that obviously want it to stay that would be pretty much begging for a Misconduct case and I don't feel like the drama. --Cyberbob 03:34, 1 July 2009 (BST)
- Done. My net was lagging so I couldn't get to this sooner. DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 03:42, 1 July 2009 (BST)
- Why protect it so quickly? It's only been up for an hour. --Haliman - Talk 03:44, 1 July 2009 (BST)
- Why not? MoonShine is free to resubmit it in Humorous Suggestions but it can't remain as a standalone page. --Cyberbob 03:46, 1 July 2009 (BST)

Protections Scheduling Queue
Protection Scheduling requests should be requested in the same general format as Deletions. Votes will occur in the same general manner, and like deletion scheduling requests will be voted on for two (2) weeks, as judged by the initial datestamp. Valid votes are:
- Yea - Approval of Schedule Request
- Nay - Disapproval of Schedule Request
Finished Arby Cases
With the new arbitration format, we'll need to protect the pages once the case is closed. Just so we can protect them if someone's forgot to put in a request for us to do so. -- Cheese
- Yea - I'm not sure if this is covered by the archive thingy below since it's a new format. -- Cheese 12:24, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
- Yea - i was about to ask this kind of pages to be added to the protection schedule, lol --People's Commissar Hagnat [cloned] [mod] 12:57, 31 March 2008 (BST)
