This page is where you can post to request that your page be locked. Typically this is done after a guide is finished to prevent unauthorized editing. In this case we will be locking guides made for the wiki contest. This page is for requesting that a page, image or template be ''' fully protected''', '''semi-protected''', '''move-protected''' or '''unprotected'''. Full protection is used to stop edit warring between multiple users or to prevent vandalism to high-risk templates; semi-protection is usually used only to prevent IP and new user vandalism; and move protection is used to stop revert wars. After a page has been protected, the protection is listed in the page history and logs with a short description indicating why it was protected, and the article is listed on [[Special:Protectedpages]]. Further discussion should take place on the Talk page of the article. In the case of full protection due to edit warring, admins do not revert back to specific versions of the page, except to get rid of inappropriate content ;Instructions: If you would like to request a page to be protected or unprotected, please follow the following steps: # If you are requesting unprotection, it is almost always a good idea to ask the protecting admin first before listing a page here. # Add a level 3 header <nowiki>(i.e. ==== [[example]] ====, where "example" stands for the namespace)</nowiki> at the top of either the protection or unprotection list. ''Please make sure you have spelled the name of the article properly; a common error stems from mistaken requests for the protection of redirects, particularly capitalized ones.'' # If you are requesting protection, place the type of request (full protection, semi-protection, or move protection) and a brief reason for your request below your header. # '''Please do not add arbitrary requests for a protection expiry time to your request, or request indefinite protection arbitrarily.''' #*If there is a reason for a page to be protected for a certain amount of time, such as protecting a usertalk page until the user is unblocked, please make this clear. #*If you are requesting indefinite semi-protection, be aware that it is only applied to articles with ''endemic and endless vandalism problems'' which multiple increasing periods of temporary semi-protection have failed to stop. #*Note that different expiry times can now be set for edit and move-protections, so an article can, for example, be semi-edit-protected for a week and full-move-protected indefinitely. # Sign your request with four tildes <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> and save. == Protection Requests == ===[[:Image:Blademaster.jpg]]=== Reason: Image needs to be protected again in order to prevent [[Main Page]] vandalism. -- [[User:Sangodoc|<span style="color:#CCCCFF;font-weight:bold;">Sangodoc</span>]] [[User talk:Sangodoc|<span style="color:#9999CC;font-weight:bold;">(talk)</span>]] 17:32, 11 June 2010 (UTC) ===='''[[Lyndura's Blademaster Class Guide.]]'''==== REASON: Requesting full protection. Guide is finished and submitted for judging in the contest. DONE ====[[Baby Pet Guide]]==== REASON: Requesting full protection. Guide is finished and submitted for judging in the contest. --[[User:Atheeni|Atheeni]] 23:27, 4 August 2009 (UTC) DONE ====[[Wizard Skills]]==== REASON: Requesting full protection. Guide is finished and submitted for judging in the contest. --[[User:Atheeni|Atheeni]] 23:27, 4 August 2009 (UTC) DONE ====[[Wizard Common Stat Builds]]==== REASON: Requesting full protection. Guide is finished and submitted for judging in the contest. --[[User:Atheeni|Atheeni]] 23:27, 4 August 2009 (UTC) DONE ====[[Guide to making money]]==== REASON: Requesting full protection. I am finished and want to enter the wiki contest. [[User:Gametildeath|Gametildeath]] 03:06, 18 August 2009 (UTC) ====[[Example Protection Request]]==== The above header would be a link to the page I want protected. REASON: Requesting '''full protection'''. finished my own guide to "example" topic, I would like it locked because there could be multiple guides for the same subject and I want to participate in the wiki contest. The next person to insert a request would do so above this one, and NOT deleting this one. [[User:Eatwithspoons|Eatwithspoons]] 18:15, 3 August 2009 (UTC) == Unprotection Requests == ====[[Wizard Skills]]==== REASON: Unlock for editing... typo in one of the skill boxes stating that Phoenix is a DoT. --[[User:Atheeni|Atheeni]] 23:27, 4 August 2009 (UTC) DONE :) ===[[Lyndura's Blademaster Class Guide.]]=== Reason: Unlock for editing to fix various typos and such, plus to fix the guide name (titles should not have a period in them), and since the contest is over. -- [[User:Sangodoc|<span style="color:#CCCCFF;font-weight:bold;">Sangodoc</span>]] [[User talk:Sangodoc|<span style="color:#9999CC;font-weight:bold;">(talk)</span>]] 02:15, 24 March 2010 (UTC) ===[[Genie Guides]]=== Reason: Page needs to be updated for various changes since it was created, the guide name needs to be fixed ("Guides" should be "Guide"), and the wiki contest is over. -- [[User:Sangodoc|<span style="color:#CCCCFF;font-weight:bold;">Sangodoc</span>]] [[User talk:Sangodoc|<span style="color:#9999CC;font-weight:bold;">(talk)</span>]] 02:15, 24 March 2010 (UTC) Also this guide declares that genies start with no attributes lower than 5 when all of them start with one attribute of 3. --[[User:Fleuri|Fleuri]] 14:21, 28 March 2010 (UTC) ===[[:Image:Blademaster.jpg]]=== Reason: It just needs to be unprotected long enough to remove all of the Spanish text from the page. -- [[User:Sangodoc|<span style="color:#CCCCFF;font-weight:bold;">Sangodoc</span>]] [[User talk:Sangodoc|<span style="color:#9999CC;font-weight:bold;">(talk)</span>]] 04:46, 26 April 2010 (UTC) ===[[Warsong City and Bounty Hunter]]=== Reason: The page has nothing to do with the Bounty Hunter, and so should be renamed. Also, there's plenty of other information that could be added or updated, but the page has to be unlocked first. There's really no reason for the page to be locked. -- [[User:Sangodoc|<span style="color:#CCCCFF;font-weight:bold;">Sangodoc</span>]] [[User talk:Sangodoc|<span style="color:#9999CC;font-weight:bold;">(talk)</span>]] 00:46, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
