BRWiki:Protected pages

Administrators can protect (or lock) pages to prevent them from being edited. Reason for doing so include, but are not limited to:

• Preventing repeat vandalism.
• Preventing further violation of the three-revert rule.
• Avoiding random edits to central pages that should not be modified lightly

You can tell if a page is protected because it will have a  View source  tab rather than an  edit this page  tab.

Protected against moving

"Semi-protected" pages

For a page locked due to vandalism, just ask an admin to unlock the page so that you can work on it again. Depending on circumstances, it can happen immediately, but you may also have to wait until it's safe to unlock.

For pages purposefully locked to avoid "random edits" (see below), or pages that can't be unlocked at the moment, the following works:

• Make a copy of the page and edit that until you're done. Naming it e.g. "The Locked Page's Name/New" or ".../Dev" works well.
• Ask an admin to copy it in for you.

For the Main Page however, you can basically only suggest minor changes via its  discussion  page.   – BRWiki does not change its face to the outside world lightly; we take extended votes on new front page design alternatives.

This list will never be complete. Its purpose is to list pages that will basically remain locked no matter what. Basically, only admins edit them.
