Help:Protecting and unprotecting pages

From Reggae Resource

Protecting and unprotecting pages is very straightforward, but these operations require Administrator permissions.

You can designate a page as a protected page by clicking the 'Protect' tab, and supplying a comment (a brief textual description of why you are protecting the page).

There are several reasons why a particular page might be protected. On public wikis, a protected page is usually one which has been repeatedly targeted with vandalism, or where it is believed that any vandalism would have an unusually severe impact. On corporate wikis, a page may be protected when the content has been frozen via an approval process. However there are also many good reasons for not protecting pages. As an Administrator you must make this choice, and wield your power responsibly.
