Help:Protected Pages

For an explanation of the uses of and policies for protected pages, please see Proteopedia:Policy.

Personal protected pages must be created "under" your User login name. For example, suppose you want to create a protected page titled Antibodies. If your name is John Doe, you must create this page at User:John_Doe/Antibodies". It will be automatically protected. (You don't need to use the protect tab, if it appears.)

1. In the search slot at the left, enter User:Your_Name/Your_Page_Title".
2. Click the Search button.
3. At the top of the search results page will be a red link to your proposed new page title. Click it.
4. Now you can enter content and save your new page.

Examples:

• User:Eric Martz/Nucleosomes is a protected page. Only its author can edit it, but any logged-in user may copy its content into a publicly editable page, or into a personal protected page.
• Nucleosomes contains a copy of the content of the above protected page, plus other material. Any logged-in user can edit it.
