[edit] Protected user pages

User pages sometimes become targets for vandalism, and may be protected upon request of the user associated with the page if this is a serious problem. Clear evidence can be seen from a user's history of the page, and their history from their discussion page.

By software configuration, script files (*.js) and stylesheets (*.css) in user spaces are protected such that only the user or an administrator can edit it.

[edit] Full protection

[edit] Semi-protected

[edit] User talk pages: Registered users

User talk pages should only be protected in cases of persistent vandalism, and then only for as brief a period as possible. Please use the template {{Usertalk-sprotect}} to mark such pages. This adds the page to Category:Semi-protected user and user talk pages. If the vandalism is by the user himself/herself, use the {{vandal}} tag; otherwise, use the {{article}} tag. For blocked or banned users, use {{ProtectBU}}.

[edit] User talk pages: Anonymous users

Talk pages of anonymous users should generally only be semi-protected. This prevents a vandal from blanking warnings etc., but still allows non-admin RC patrollers to issue warnings on this page. Please use the template {{Usertalk-sprotect}} to mark such pages. This adds the page to Category:Semi-protected user and user talk pages. Please use the {{IPvandal}} tag (replacing " " with "_" as appropriate). Admins, please remember to check back periodically and unprotect talk pages as blocks expire.

[edit] Protected user subpages and boilerplates

Some users have created boilerplate pages in their user namespace and protected them from editing.
