Bully Wiki:Protection

Any page on Bully Wiki can be protected from editing. Administrators can protect pages depending on it's severity, there will be different levels of protection and restriction.

Pages are protected for one of three reasons:
 * 1) If the page is an important page, such as the Main Page, it cannot afford to be allowed to be vandalised, so should always be protected.
 * 2) If a page, image or template is transcluded (included) into a lot of other pages, any vandalism would affect a large proportion of the site, so these are often protected.
 * 3) If a page is repeatedly vandalised, then temporary or permanent protection can help stop that.

Users may request that their user page, or some of its subpages, be protected. A decision will be made on an individual basis as to whether this is appropriate.

Protection Levels
There are three levels of protection in Bully Wiki. Depending on the severity and vandalism amount, an article will receive a different type of protection.

The expiry time on a page is at the discretion of the Staff member applying the protection. If the vandalism is happening quite often on a large important article, such as Bully 2, the protection should probably be long-term. If the vandalism is only by one user, that user should be blocked or banned instead of the page being protected.
