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. 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.

Requesting page protection as per this edit as my version is the one agreed by multiple group consensus. This will avert an edit war and encourage the arbitration process that has already begun. --

Template:SugVoteRules
Ive just head a vote struck http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php?title=Suggestion:20080814_Give_Ruin_Age_in_ExMilReps&diff=1262004&oldid=1261191
because ive always read point 5.
"It is strongly recommended that voters (especially in the kill/spam sections) justify their vote to help others understand the reason they disagree. Feedback helps new suggesters get a feel for what the community does and does not want included in Urban Dead, and a deeper understanding of the balance needed for a workable suggestion. "
And now i see at the bottom of the page
"Votes that do not have reasoning behind them are invalid. You MUST justify your vote."
Yet even further below, in the examples
"Keep - Best. Suggestion. Evar. --Bob_Zombie 04:01, 11 Nov 2005 (GMT)"
Can we have someting a bit less contradictory? --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 12:42, 31 August 2008 (BST)
- I'm not really sure if we're going with "recommended" or "required", but the example is justified, just generic and unhelpful. Bob Zombie is voting keep because he thinks it's the best suggestion evar. -- AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 23:22, 31 August 2008 (BST)
Agreed, the two templates need aligning. As people have had votes struck for non justification, this template should be altered accordingly. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 00:12, 1 September 2008 (BST)
Alright, if anyone has any suggestions on what they want the text to be altered to... -- AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 04:01, 2 September 2008 (BST)
- Give us a day and ill post some ideas. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 19:54, 2 September 2008 (BST)
Recent Actions
UZM
Please add the (delete) template to this page, as a formal deletion request has been submitted. Thanks. --WanYao 18:55, 22 September 2008 (BST)
UZM
Until the status of this page can somehow be decided upon, I am requesting that UZM be protected to stop the ongoing edit war. I also request that this edit be the version used -- because it is the most recent edit which was not decided upon unilaterally by zeug. Thanks. --WanYao 17:18, 22 September 2008 (BST)
- Cheesy did it. I think that's a record for the most undos in that short period of time.... -- AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 18:28, 22 September 2008 (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)
