VistApedia:Protected page

Administrators have the ability to "protect" pages such that they cannot be edited except by other admins. This ability is only to be used in limited circumstances.

Policy

The following rules apply to general information pages, not to VistApedia "meta" pages:

1. Do not edit a protected page
2. Do not protect a page you have edited
3. Add a boilerplate message to the top of temporarily protected pages
4. List pages you protect or unprotect on VistApedia:Protected page

See VistApedia:Protection policy for more detailed advice and the purpose of protected pages.

List of protected pages

If you protect a page, or find a protected page not listed here, please add it to this list. Please also add a short description of ten words or less indicating why you protected it. If you need to say more, discuss on the talk page of the page you protected.

Permanently protected pages

These pages are permanently protected, primarily to prevent vandalism. Other pages, such as legal policies, are also permanently protected to prevent unauthorized changes from being made to them.
