Sections

[edit]

Tip: divide the list into sections:

  • Edit protection
    • ...(use most of the current items)...
  • Move protection
    • Page-move vandalism
    • Move warring
    • No reason to move
  • Create protection
    • Offensive name
    • Repeatedly recreated
    • Likely to be created in error

Of course, would be nice if devs could add a separate "Protect-create-dropdown" message ... —AlexSm 17:43, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why? Like how exactly what you categorize each one? And won't it just have a bunch of reasons under edit protection, and then only 1 under each other section? If you can show me what you would think is better, I would probably be able to judge your opinion better. Cheers, « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 19:32, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
No, the list of course will stay as one drop-down list, (like MediaWiki:Deletereason-dropdown for deletion or MediaWiki:Ipbreason-dropdown for blocking), dividing it by subsestions just might make it more convenient; it's up to you (en.wp admins) whether you want to divide it or not. I updated the example above with some samples. —AlexSm 19:59, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
No I understand that, I just wanted you to do what you did, add the individual reasons. I'll take a look at it when I am out of class. Thanks, « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 20:04, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
How does it look now? I removed a couple as they really aren't common protection types, but overall I think it looks good. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 20:23, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I was bold for once and removed Template:pp-create, as it is basically "repeatedly recreated" but in a template form. If anyone disagrees feel free to change it back. Master of Puppets Call me MoP! :) 06:05, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As you can see in this diff, the use of the full page name of WP:BLP in the relevant protection dropdown entry is causing some protection summaries to be cut off. Could you please change this link to point to the shortcut, WP:BLP? Thanks, — This, that, and the other (talk) 10:02, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
