Wikitravel:Protected page guidelines

From Wikitravel

This page may not meet the Wikitravel criteria for a separate article, and should be merged into Wikitravel:Protected page policy. If you have an opinion, please discuss on this article's talk page page. You can help by copying any relevant information from this page to the new page. Once all content has been copied, this article should be made into a redirect. Some important notes:

• Attractions are not given their own article, nor are very tiny towns or districts. See the Wikitravel article criteria for a guideline about what topics get their own article.
• Content can still be added to this article, but that content will likely be moved to Wikitravel:Protected page policy at a later date.
• Please do not remove this merge notice without first discussing on the talk page.

In general, every page should be able to be edited by any user. The guidelines for protecting pages are:

• Page protection should be a last resort.
• Pages should only be protected when it is absolutely necessary and there is no other solution that is less restrictive.
• All the solutions for handling unwanted edits should be tried first.
• Only in cases where none of these solutions are likely to be effective should a page be considered for protection.
• Even then, it should only be protected if it is highly undesirable to ever change the page.
• Pages proposed for protection should be discussed, preferably before they are protected.
