Welcome to Wikishire’s protection policy. There will be types of protection going on here. Let’s start with the types of protection.

Types of protection

  • Full protection (symbolized by an orange padlock or link) allows editing only by administrators.
  • Semi-protection (symbolized by a silver padlock) allows editing only by users who are 4 days old and have made at least 10 edits.
  • Move protection (symbolized by a green padlock) allows moving only by administrators and does not protect the page from editing. Pages which are protected only from moving is very rare. There is also semi-move protection which allows only autoconfirmed users to move the page.
  • Upload protection (symbolized by a purple padlock) allows only ainistrators to upload the file. Like move protection, it doesn’t affect who can edit pages.
  • Create protection (symbolized by a light blue padlock) can be applied to pages which are repeatedly recreated and redeleted. It can also be applied to non-existent pages too.
    • Full create protection allows only administrators to create the page.
    • Semi-create protection allows only autoconfirmed users to create the page.

In super rare circumstances the Wikimedia Foundation will protect pages using an office action (symbolized by a black padlock). This is also known as super-protection. Super-protection allows only Wikimedia staff to edit the page. That’s all the protection types. Bye-bye!
