IT frameworks:Protection policy

From IT frameworks

Administrators can protect a page to restrict editing or moving of that page, and remove such protection. Such protection may be indefinite, or expire after a specified time.

• Full protection disables editing for everyone except administrators. Fully protected media files cannot be overwritten by new uploads.
• Semi-protection disables editing for accounts which are not autoconfirmed.
• Creation protection prevents a previously deleted page from being recreated.
• Move protection protects the page solely from moves.

Protection may be done to prevent editing wars, vandalism or other reasons. Changes to protected pages should be proposed and discussed on the article's discussion page.
