<p>1 revision: Uploading public domain help from MediaWiki</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>{{PD Help Page}}<br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;Protecting and unprotecting pages&#039;&#039;&#039; is very straightforward, but these operations require [[Help:Sysops and permissions|sysop permissions]] or other users with the appropriate rights.<br /> <br /> You can designate a page as a [[Help:Protected pages|protected page]] by clicking the &#039;Protect page&#039; tab (&#039;protect&#039; in the drop-down menu in Vector), and supplying a comment (a brief textual description of why you are protecting the page).<br /> <br /> There are several reasons why a particular page might be protected. On public wikis, a protected page is usually one which has been repeatedly targeted with vandalism, or where it is believed that any vandalism would have an unusually severe impact. On corporate wikis, a page may be protected when the content has been frozen via an approval process. However there are also many good reasons for &#039;&#039;not&#039;&#039; protecting pages. For instance, it may hinder useful contributions by impacted users. As a sysop you must make this choice, and use your privileges appropriately.<br /> <br /> {{languages|Help:Protecting and unprotecting pages}}<br /> [[Category:Help|Protecting and unprotecting pages]]</div>
