Protection
See also: Wikipedia:Protection policy
Generally most pages are not protected to encourage new edits and additions to content. However, some pages and articles are deliberately locked against editing, mostly for the following reasons:
- If an edit war breaks out and involved parties refuse to stop;
- If the page is high-risk: this can include templates that are transcluded heavily, or images that are externally linked.
- In some cases pages may be protected for other reasons, particularly if a page is receiving high traffic (e.g. the Main Page).
Blocks
See also: Wikipedia:Blocking policy
Users are only blocked from editing if they prove to be consistently disruptive to the wiki.
