Some pages on Halopedia are '''Protected,''' which means they can not be edited or modified by anyone except an [[Halopedia:Administrators|Administrator]]. This may be for any number of reasons; because of continuous vandalism, edit wars, and so on.

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 disgression of an administrator. These pages are eventually unbanned, after enough time has passed that we feel the vandals have "lost interest."

Template:Realworld Some pages on Halopedia are Protected, which means they can not be edited or modified by anyone except an Administrator. This may be for any number of reasons; because of continuous vandalism, edit wars, and so on.

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 disgression of an administrator. These pages are eventually unbanned, after enough time has passed that we feel the vandals have "lost interest."
