You may view and change the protection level here for the page $1. Be sure that you are following the protection policy and/or semi-protection policy.

By default, protections last indefinitely. To specify an expiry, enter a length of time or an expiration date in GNU standard format, e.g.:

  • Jan 1 18:14:00 UTC 2025 (the current date)
  • 1 week

Do not use non-integer values, such as "2.37 weeks" or "1.84 days", as these may be incorrectly formatted by the MediaWiki software. Please note, all protections are removed at expiration time, regardless of the prior state of protection.

Do not use the Cascading protection option unless applying FULL protection. Semi-protected pages with cascading protection will full-protect all transcluded pages (see bug 8796).

Also, the cascading option does not affect the status of personal .js and .css pages.

When necessary, please tag this page with the appropriate protection template when protecting. Avoid doing so for protection with an expiration date.

Note: If this page is protected due to Office Actions, do not unprotect it without proper authorization.
