'''Protecting and unprotecting pages''' is very straightforward, but these operations require [[Help:Sysops and permissions|sysop permissions]].<br />
<br />
You can designate a page as a [[Help:Protected pages|protected page]] by clicking the 'Protect page' tab, and supplying a comment (a brief textual description of why you are protecting the page).<br />
<br />
There are several reasons why a particular page might be protected. On public wikis, a protected page is usually one which has been repeatedly targeted with vandalism, or where it is believed that any vandalism would have an unusually severe impact. On corporate wikis, a page may be protected when the content has been frozen via an approval process. However there are also many good reasons for ''not'' protecting pages. As a sysop you must make this choice, and wield your power responsibly. <br />
