Proposal

A proposal was created to create a requests for protection. Following the standards set forth by unprotection and deletion processes, the proposal is as follows:

Protection

• A. General

• 1. The requests for protection process is an optional process; administrators can protect anything they believe is necessary.
• 2. If there is any controversy over protecting a certain page, using this process would be a better way to discussion the issue, as outlined in this article.
• 3. Anyone can nominate a page (article, template, category, image, video, etc.) they feel should be protected.

• B. Process

• 1. Fill out the protection request including the reason the page should be protected and save the page to start an protection discussion. If no explanation is given after twenty-four (24) hours, it will be closed as invalid.
• 2. A discussion will occur, centered on that particular page.
• 3. Neutral votes do not count in the final tally for consensus (70%)

• C. Closing discussions

• 1. Only administrators and assistants can close protection discussions.
• 2. If an protection discussion does not receive a consensus (70%) either way after one (1) month, the discussion can be closed as "no consensus" and the page is not protected.

• S - I mean, you could just ask an admin or assistant to lock a page for you. The reason there exists requests for unprotection is because some of the community may have mixed feelings about whether or not a page's protection shouls remain.  RedBomb1 ^(M•C•E)  01:34, April 15, 2018 (UTC)
