Protected pages come in two levels: block unregistered users and sysops only.
- Block unregistered users means that only registered users can edit.
- Sysops only means that only users with system operator access levels can edit. Click here for a list of such people.
When protecting a page, the user also can choose if s/he wants to move-protect it.
Some pages are protected because they are constantly recreated.
Pages should only be protected as a last resort to stop an edit war or chronic vandalism, or to prevent vandalism of high-visibility pages. If semi-protection will suffice to stop the edit war or vandalism, then it should be used. Protection duration should only be indefinite for high-visibility pages.
