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.
Pages in the Protection Queue may already be scheduled protections. For a list of scheduled protections, see here.

Protection Queue
Guides:A Beginners Guide to Urban Dead
I would formally like to request protection for this page again. I had protection for the page once before, right after I put it togethor. Needless to say, when I took a hiatus, some how, the protection was removed. You can see on the discussion page that it was severly altered (I can assume that this happened soon after the protection was removed).
I wish to have this page preserved until I request that the protection be removed because:
- I wish to preserve it as a reference tool as it was (historical value? [however little])
- For my own personal use in the future
- And until I can get around to editing My Own article myself
I am only requesting protection for the article, not for the discussion page.

- Just make a copy of it in your userspace. Pages in the main space really aren't owned by anyone, especially not if numerous people have edited them (as is the case here). Cyberbob Talk 14:28, 13 August 2009 (BST)

Just a request that someone fixes the headers on the page - some of those headers are level three, when they should be level two.
Thanks. Linkthewindow Talk 13:48, 4 August 2009 (BST)
I assume you meant level 4 when they should be level 3, and I assume you had to duck out else you could have just done this yourself. Either way, I've changed all ====headers==== to ===headers===. --ϑϑℜ 14:11, 4 August 2009 (BST)
- Yeah, level three, thanks. And, no, it's not that I had to duck out, just that I should probably ask before editing an archive. Anyway, thanks. Linkthewindow Talk 21:30, 4 August 2009 (BST)
T.page archives
Just a quick note that I've protected User talk:DanceDanceRevolution/Archive5. --ϑϑℜ 13:36, 2 August 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
Historical Events
I'm not sure why historical groups are scheduled protections but historical events aren't. In a historical sense they both have the same principles behind why they should be protected upon becoming classed as Historical.
Basically, I'm proposing that all current and future events that are Historical (as per Historical Events voting) are to be protected on sight. --ϑϑℜ 10:57, 20 July 2009 (BST)
- Yep - I'm pretty sure no one would throw a fit if we protected them anyway, however. Linkthewindow Talk 14:25, 20 July 2009 (BST)

- No - talk pages should stay open. I'm assuming you plan on protecting them to based on your reference to historical groups, correct me if i'm wrong.--xoxo 12:33, 21 July 2009 (BST)
- I actually intended on keeping talk pages open (hence why they aren't specified in the request, I forgot about them), because events don't theoretically fall under the ownership of any user or page, unlike historical groups, who have protection, because as a matter of principle there should be no members to maintain the talk page. --ϑϑℜ 10:50, 27 July 2009 (BST)
