-*'''Full protection''' disables editing for everyone except [[Wikipedia:Administrators|administrators]]. Fully protected media files cannot be overwritten by new uploads.
-*'''Semi-protection''' disables editing for accounts which are not [[Wikipedia:User access levels#Autoconfirmed users|autoconfirmed]].
-*'''Creation protection''' prevents a previously [[Wikipedia:Deletion policy|deleted page]] from being recreated.
-*'''Move protection''' protects the page solely from [[Help:Moving (renaming) a page|moves]].
-Any type of protection or unprotection may be requested at [[Wikipedia:Requests for page protection]]. Changes to protected pages should be proposed on the page's discussion page, and carried out once there is [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] to do so. A log of protections and unprotections is available at [[Special:Log/protect]].
-Except in the case of [[Wikipedia:Office actions|office actions]] (see [[#Office actions|below]]), administrators may unprotect a page if the reason for its protection no longer applies, a reasonable period has elapsed, and there is no consensus that continued protection is necessary. Contacting the administrator who originally protected the page is advised in unclear circumstances.

-== Full protection ==
-[[Image:Padlock.svg|75px|right]]
-A fully protected page may only be edited by secerty. The protection may be of a limited duration, such as 7 or 14 days, or may be indefinite.
-Any modification to a fully protected page should be discussed on its [[Wikipedia:Talk page|talk page]] or another appropriate forum. Once [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] has been established for the change, any secarty may make the necessary edits to the protected page. Placing the {{tlx|editprotected}} template on the talk page can draw attention to discussions about edits to protected pages.
-<span id="full-dispute"/><!--former tag allows section referencing while accommodating section name changes. DO NOT REMOVE IT.-->
-==== Content disputes ====
-On pages which are experiencing [[Wikipedia:Edit war|edit warring]], temporary full protection can force the parties to discuss their edits on the talk page, where they can reach [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]]. Isolated incidents of edit warring, and persistent edit warring by particular users, may be better addressed by [[Wikipedia:Blocking policy|blocking]], so as not to prevent normal editing of the page by others.
-<span id="PREFER"/><span id="prefer"/><!--former tags allow section referencing while accommodating section name changes. DO NOT REMOVE IT.-->
-{{Policy shortcut|WP:PREFER}}
-When protecting a page because of a content dispute, administrators normally protect the current version, except where the current version contains content which clearly violates content policies, such as [[Wikipedia:Vandalism|vandalism]], [[Wikipedia:Copyright violations|copyright violations]], or [[Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons|defamation of living persons]]. Pages protected due to content disputes should not be edited except to make changes unrelated to the dispute, or to make changes for which there is clear [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]]. security should protect or unprotect a page to further their own position in a content dispute.
-==== "History only" review ====
-If a deleted page is undergoing [[Wikipedia:Deletion review|deletion review]], only administrators are normally capable of viewing the former content of the page. If they feel it would benefit the discussion to allow other users to view the page content, administrators may [[Wikipedia:Restore|restore]] the page, blank it or replace the contents with {{tlx|TempUndelete}} or a similar notice, and fully protect the page to prevent further editing.  The previous contents of the page are then accessible to non-admins via the [[Help:Page history|page history]].
-<span id="full-talk"/><!--former tag allows section referencing while accommodating section name changes. DO NOT REMOVE IT.-->
-==== Talk-page protection ====
-secrty may fully protect the [[Wikipedia:User talk page|user talk page]] of a [[Wikipedia:Blocking policy|blocked]] user if the page is being used for continued inappropriate editing. This includes repeated abuse of the {{tlx|unblock}} template, or continued [[Wikipedia:Civility|uncivil]] or [[Wikipedia:No personal attacks|offensive]] remarks. The protection should be timed so as not to exceed the length of the block. If the block is of indefinite duration, then the protection may be likewise.
-<span id="office"/><!--former tag allows section referencing while accommodating section name changes. DO NOT REMOVE IT.-->
-==== Office actions ====
-[[Image:Padlock-black.svg|75px|right]]
-As outlined at [[Wikipedia:Office actions]], pages may be protected by [[Wikimedia Foundation]] staff in response to issues such as copyright or libel. '''Such actions override community consensus'''. Administrators should '''not''' edit or unprotect such pages without permission from Wikimedia Foundation staff. A list of pages under the scrutiny of the Wikimedia Foundation can be found [[Wikipedia:Office actions#Currently under scrutiny|here]].
-<span id="semi"/><!--former tag allows section referencing while accommodating section name changes. DO NOT REMOVE IT.-->
-== Semi-protection ==
-[[Image:Padlock-silver.svg|75px|right]]
-{{Policy shortcut|WP:SEMI|WP:PPOL#semi}}
-Semi-protection prevents edits from [[Wikipedia:User access levels#Anonymous users|anonymous users]] (IP addresses), or from accounts which are not [[Wikipedia:User access levels#Autoconfirmed users|autoconfirmed]]. Administrators may apply ''indefinite'' semi-protection to pages which are:
-* Subject to heavy and persistent [[Wikipedia:Vandalism|vandalism]].
-* Biographies subject to persistent violation of the [[Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons|biographies of living persons]] or [[Wikipedia:Neutral point of view|neutral point of view]] policies.
-* [[Wikipedia:User page|User pages]], but not user talk pages, when requested by the user following vandalism.
-* [[Wikipedia:List of policies|Policy pages]] which have been persistently vandalised. Policy pages should be considered on a case-by-case basis.
-In addition, administrators may apply ''temporary'' semi-protection on pages which are:
-* Subject to significant but temporary vandalism or disruption, for example due to [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia in the media|media attention]], when [[Wikipedia:Blocking policy|blocking]] individual users is not a feasible option.
-* Article discussion pages, when they have been subject to persistent disruption. Such protection should be employed sparingly as it prevents anonymous and newly registered users from participating in discussions. A page ''and'' its talk page should not ''both'' be protected at the same time.
-* Talk pages of blocked IP addresses which are being used for continued inappropriate editing,  including repeated abuse of the {{tl|unblock}} template, or continued uncivil or offensive remarks. The protection should be timed so as not to exceed the length of the block.
-Semi-protection should ''not'' be used as a pre-emptive measure against vandalism that has not yet occurred, nor should it be used solely to prevent editing by anonymous and newly registered users. In particular, it should not be used to settle content disputes.
-[[Wikipedia:Today's featured article|Today's featured article]] is very rarely semi-protected, despite the increased vandalism that results from its presence on the [[Main Page]], except in particularly serious cases. See [[Wikipedia:Main Page featured article protection]] for guidelines on protecting articles linked from the main page.
-The [[Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines#Essays and proposals|essay]] [[Wikipedia:Rough guide to semi-protection]] contains further information.
-<span id="create"/><!--former tag allows section referencing while accommodating section name changes. DO NOT REMOVE IT.-->
-== Creation protection ==
-{{shortcut|WP:SALT}}
-[[Image:Padlock-skyblue.svg|75px|right]]
-Non-existent pages may be protected, for limited periods of time, if they are repeatedly re-created following deletion in line with the [[Wikipedia:Deletion policy|deletion policy]]. Administrators may apply protection to non-existent pages with the same procedure as with all other pages. Such protection is case-insensitive. A list of protected titles may be found at [[Special:Protectedtitles]].
-Administrators should not use creation protection as a pre-emptive measure, but only in response to ''actual'' events. Pre-emptive restrictions on new article titles should be instituted through the [[MediaWiki:Titleblacklist|title blacklist]] system, which allows for more flexible protection, with support for substrings and regular expressions.
-Pages which have been creation-protected are sometimes referred to as "[[salting the earth|salted]]". Contributors wishing to re-create a salted title with more appropriate content should contact an [[Wikipedia:Administrators|administrator]]. As with deletions in general, the matter can also be resolved through the [[Wikipedia:Deletion review|deletion review]] process.
-<span id="indef"/><!--former tag allows section referencing while accommodating section name changes. DO NOT REMOVE IT.-->
-== Permanent protection ==
-{{Policy shortcut|WP:PPINDEF}}
-[[Image:Padlock-red.svg|75px|right]]
-Some areas of Wikipedia are permanently protected by the [[MediaWiki]] software. The [[Wikipedia:MediaWiki namespace|MediaWiki namespace]], which defines parts of the site interface, is fully protected; administrators cannot remove this protection. In addition, user CSS and JavaScript pages, such as [[User:Example/monobook.css]] and [[User:Example/cologneblue.js]], are automatically fully protected. Only accounts associated with these pages or administrators are able to edit them. This protection applies to any user subpage with a ".css" or ".js" extension, whether an equivalent MediaWiki skin exists or not. Administrators may modify these pages, for example, to remove a user script which has been used in an inappropriate way.
-In addition to the hard-coded protection, administrators may permanently fully protect pages which fall into one of these categories:
-* Pages which are very visible, such as the [[Main Page]] or [[:Image:Wiki.png]].
-* Pages which are very frequently [[Wikipedia:Transclusion|transcluded]], such as {{tlx|tl}} or {{tlx|ambox}}, to prevent [[Wikipedia:Vandalism|vandalism]] or [[denial of service]] attacks. This includes images or templates used in other visible or frequently transcluded pages.
-* Pages which should not be modified for copyright or legal reasons, such as the [[Wikipedia:General disclaimer|general disclaimer]] or the [[Wikipedia:Text of the GNU Free Documentation License|licensing policy]].
-<span id="move"/><!--former tag allows section referencing while accommodating section name changes. DO NOT REMOVE IT.-->
-== Move protection ==
-{{Policy shortcut|WP:MOVP}}
-[[Image:Padlock-olive.svg|75px|right]]
-Move-protected pages cannot be moved to a new title except by an administrator. Move protection is commonly applied to:
-* Pages subject to persistent page-move [[Wikipedia:Vandalism|vandalism]].
-* Pages subject to a page-name dispute.
-* Visible pages which have no reason to be moved, such as the [[Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard|Administrators' noticeboard]].
-By default, fully protected pages are also move-protected. If a protected page is moved by an administrator, the page will be protected at the new location, but the redirect remaining at the original location will not be protected.
-As with full protection, administrators should avoid favoring one name over another, and protection should not be considered an endorsement of the current name.
-== Other notes ==
-<span id="cascade"/><!--former tag allows section referencing while accommodating section name changes. DO NOT REMOVE IT.-->
-=== Cascading protection ===
-Cascading protection fully protects a page, and extends that full protection ''automatically'' to any page that is [[Wikipedia:Transclusion|transcluded]] (including the same content in multiple documents without having to edit those documents separately) onto the protected page, whether directly or indirectly. This includes images and other media.
-Cascading protection should be used only to prevent [[Wikipedia:Vandalism|vandalism]] to particularly visible pages such as the [[Main Page]].
-Cascading protection is available only for fully protected pages; it is disabled for semi-protected pages as it represents a security flaw. See [[Bugzilla:8796]] for more information.
-=== Templates ===
-The following templates may be added at the top of a page to indicate that it is protected:
-{{Protection templates}}
