Leave the settings unchanged on the protection types that you do not wish to modify. * Edit protection and move protection can be applied separately or together, and set to different protection levels and to expire after different lengths of times. ** If applying page protection to a completely unprotected page, the page protection form will automatically update the move protection settings to match the edit protection settings you enter, unless you specify different move protection settings. *** To specify move protection settings that are ''different'' than the edit protection settings you entered, tick the "unlock further protect options" checkbox and enter the move protection settings accordingly. *** To apply ''no'' move protection alongside edit protection, set the move protection level to "allow all users". * ''If you are not using an automated tool to modify or apply page protection, please update the [[Template:Protection templates|protection templates]] on the page after applying your changes.'' ;Important technical information * Avoid using non-integer values when entering an expiration (such as "2.37 weeks" or "1.84 days"). The MediaWiki software has interpreted non-integer expirations '''[[Wikipedia:Village stocks#SQL for the Time-Traveling Block Breaker award|very badly in the past]]''' before. * [[WP:PC1|Pending changes protection]] is unavailable for use on talk pages or anywhere within the user space. * Cascading protection is only available when applying full edit protection to a page. * The confirmed or autoconfirmed user right [[Special:ListGroupRights|is required]] in order for users to move ''any pages at all''; the page's protection status is completely irrelevant. ;Useful links * All pages that are currently protected from '''editing''' are publicly visible at [[Special:ProtectedPages]]. * All pages that are currently protected from '''creation (salted)''' are publicly visible at [[Special:ProtectedTitles]]. * All pages that are currently under '''pending changes protection''' are publicly visible at [[Special:StablePages]]. {{Collapse bottom}} </div> | |
