Wikiversity:Page protection
Wikiversity curators and custodians have the technical ability to protect a page from edits, moves, or page creations. Page protection is often used to prevent further vandalism or edit wars.
Protection types
Create protection
When a page is under creation protection (also known as salting) it can only be created by autoconfirmed users, or curators and custodians. Pages that are protected from creation are listed at Special:ProtectedTitles.
Move protection
When a page is under move protection (or more technically, fully move-protected), it can only be moved by a curator or a custodian. This protection can be applied to:
- Pages that are subject to move wars
- Pages that have no reason to be moved, such as the colloquium
Cascading protection
Cascading protection fully protects a page, and all pages transcluded through that page are also fully protected, whether directly or indirectly.
Protection levels
Semi-protection
A semi-protected page can only be edited by participants whose accounts are at least four days old.
Full protection
A fully protected page can only be edited or moved by curators and custodians.
