| No protection | Normal editing (can edit; changes go live immediately) "Go live" means the changes become visible to readers who are not logged in to Wikipedia. In all cases throughout this table, changes are immediately visible to readers who are logged in. |
The vast majority of pages | ||||
| Pending changes protection | Can edit; changes go live after reviewer acceptance | Normal editing. (If there are previous pending changes, no changes will go live until the pending changes have been reviewed.) | Normal editing;* can accept pending changes |
Infrequently edited articles with high levels of vandalism or BLP violations from unregistered and new users | ||
| Semi-protection | Cannot edit | Normal editing | Articles with high levels of vandalism or edit warring from unregistered and new users; some highly visible templates & modules | |||
| Extended confirmed protection** | Cannot edit | Normal editing | Specific topic areas authorized by Arbcom; pages subject to persistent disruption that semi-protection has failed to stop | |||
| Template prot. | Cannot edit (unless Template editor, in which case Normal editing) | Normal editing | High-risk templates & modules | |||
| Full protection | Cannot edit | Articles with persistent vandalism or edit warring from (auto)confirmed accounts; critical templates & modules | ||||
| * When an Administrator or Pending Changes Reviewer edits an article that has pending changes awaiting review, they must review the pending changes before their own edit goes live. ** This row assumes that a Pending changes reviewer is also Extended confirmed. (A Pending changes reviewer needs separate Extended confirmed rights to edit through Extended confirmed protection; in practice nearly all Pending changes reviewers will have that additional right.) | ||||||
This is {{Protection table}}, intended to show the effects of protection on a page.
