Category:Pages semi-protected against vandalism

This is a maintenance category, used for the maintenance of BTW. It is not part of the encyclopedia and contains non-article pages, or groups articles by status rather than subject. Do not include this category in content categories. This is a hidden category. It is not shown on its member pages, unless the corresponding user preference (appearance → show hidden categories) is set.

Administrators: Please do not delete this category as empty! This category may be empty occasionally or even most of the time.

This category contains pages which have been semi-protected to prevent vandalism and other unconstructive editing. This is done when a page has been repeatedly vandalized by many users, or when such vandalism is anticipated. (Vandalism by a small number of users is more easily dealt with by blocking the users responsible). Semi-protection prevents a page being edited by anonymous and newly registered users. To edit these pages, users must have been on BattleTechWiki for at least 4 days and must have made a total of 10 edits to mainstream articles. Very visible pages such as the Main Page are fully protected, which allows only administrators to edit them; see Category:Pages protected against vandalism for pages which have been protected for this reason.

Use {{pp-vandalism}} to add a page to this category. This should only be done if the page is in fact semi-protected – adding the template does not in itself protect the page.
