Revision as of 15:52, May 12, 2016
, 15:52, May 12, 2016→Please don't lock pages (other than templates and other things that can do an inordinate amount of damage.): re
#It is ineffective. We often have vandal attacks, in which someone vandalizes as many pages as possible before they get stopped. The locking is obviously a response to these attacks. But people engaging in mass vandalism will just go on to another page when they see one that is locked. The total number of pages that they vandalize before they are stopped is still the same. The amount of work that sysops (or, in a few cases, I) must do to clean up the mess is the same.

:If it's any consolation, I agree, but your argument seems to have fallen of deaf ears. In my opinion, protection should be reserved for ''some'' templates, and perhaps pages which are under heavy attack for a few days ''at most''. While it's true that they can go vandalize elsewhere, sometimes [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39xlPMs3Obk an organized effort] is made to attack a single page for one reason or another. For this reason, it could be helpful to ''temporally'' protect such a page. However, I'm not as experienced on CP as the admins here--perhaps they have tried it this way and already know it doesn't work. I won't presume to understand exactly how their job works. --[[User:DavidB4|David B]] ([[User talk:DavidB4|talk]]) 11:52, 12 May 2016 (EDT)
