Protection[edit]
Perma-protecting mainspace pages should be dome in very rare circumstances and only when shorter periods of protection have repeatedly failed. Even if a page is targeted by a recurring vandal like EiK try weeks or months protection before perma. Plutocow (talk) 18:09, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Plutocow I did it on some pages after reverting edits by vandals in order protect them from vandalism. I consider short period vandalism inefficient because I think vandals will come back as soon as the protection expires. RationalThinker (talk) 20:01, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
When creating AfDs[edit]
Remember to update RW:Articles for deletion/log each time. Also, you probably don't need to AfD a bunch of similar articles at once, you can pick one and start a discussion on all of them in said AfD. Plutocow (talk) 16:05, 22 September 2024 (UTC)
