===How long are pages protected?===

How long a page is protected depends on the nature of its protection. The [[Main Page]] is always protected because of its central nature to Halopedia. Other pages are protected when there is an epidemic of vandalism. Normally, a vandal will be blocked for vandalizing multiple times, but when there are multiple vandals or continuous vandalism done over time, the page will be protected for an amount of time at the ~~digression~~ of an administrator. These pages are eventually unbanned, after enough time has passed that we feel the vandals have "lost interest."

*'''Halopedia Policy:''' Certain pages are designated as Halopedia policy and protected. They are denoted by the "Protected Policy" template, as seen on this page. This is because Halopedia policies are the sole responsibility of the administrators, and not negotiable or changeable by other users.

*'''Administrator's User Pages:''' User Pages are described for users to provide information about themselves, they are usually only changed by that user. However, due to their high visibility on the site, several administrators pages have been the target of vandalism, and thus are blocked from editing. These pages are not a part of Halopedia and the only changes made to them should be at the ~~digression~~ of their users.
