Falcon DayZ RP Wikia:Protecting pages

Administrators can protect and unprotect pages, including ones that do not exist. Protection of a page or image usually means that others cannot edit it.

The majority of pages on all Wikia should remain publicly editable, and not protected. Pages may, however, be temporarily or permanently protected for legal reasons (for example, license texts should not be changed) or in cases of extreme vandalism or edit warring or abusive re-creation.

Uses

 * Protecting highly vandalized pages, such as the Main Page on large wikis.
 * Maintaining the integrity of the site's logo and favicon.
 * Maintaining the integrity of key copyrights and license pages.
 * Preventing repeatedly created vandal or spam pages from creation. See Special:Protectedtitles
 * Protecting the interface and system messages in the MediaWiki namespace (these are protected automatically).

A temporary protection is used for:
 * Enforcing a "cool down" period to stop an "edit war", upon request.
 * Protecting a page or image that has been a recent target of persistent vandalism or persistent edits by a banned user.

Protection options

 * (Default) means any user, whether logged in or anonymous, can edit or move the page.
 * (Semi-protected)Block unregistered users, or semi-protected, means anonymous users and new accounts less than 4 days old cannot edit and/or move pages.
 * (Protected) Only administrators may edit and/or move the page.
