Extended confirmed protection

Hello, Floquenbeam. This message is intended to notify administrators of important changes to the protection policy.

Extended confirmed protection (also known as "30/500 protection") is a new level of page protection that only allows edits from accounts at least 30 days old and with 500 edits. The automatically assigned "extended confirmed" user right was created for this purpose. The protection level was created following this community discussion with the primary intention of enforcing various arbitration remedies that prohibited editors under the "30 days/500 edits" threshold to edit certain topic areas.

In July and August 2016, a request for comment established consensus for community use of the new protection level. Administrators are authorized to apply extended confirmed protection to combat any form of disruption (e.g. vandalism, sock puppetry, edit warring, etc.) on any topic, subject to the following conditions:

• Extended confirmed protection may only be used in cases where semi-protection has proven ineffective. It should not be used as a first resort.
• A bot will post a notification at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard of each use. MusikBot currently does this by updating a report, which is transcluded onto the noticeboard.

Please review the protection policy carefully before using this new level of protection on pages. Thank you.
This message was sent to the administrators' mass message list. To opt-out of future messages, please remove yourself from the list. 17:47, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

IP vandal

Hi, I've just seen you post at ANI. Do you fancy blocking 86.45.5.6 (talk · contribs) for a few hours? They've just vandalised a template and an article so I think they may be settling in for a bit of fun. - Sitush (talk) 17:31, 27 September 2016 (UTC)

Someone with an overabundance of good faith might interpret those as editing tests, so I've warned them instead. It's karma balancing: I'm an abusive admin to some people and an overindulgent softie to others, so in the end it's a wash. I'll look at their contribs from time to time, if it continues I'll block. Good to see you back, by the way. --Floquenbeam (talk) 17:35, 27 September 2016 (UTC)

Thanks, Floq. And that is why I'll never be much use as an admin. - Sitush (talk) 17:36, 27 September 2016 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!
