This page documents an official policy of the Kung Fu Panda Wiki.
All questions or suggestions concerning this policy must be submitted in the forums prior to an admin making changes, which may happen at any time with or without notification.
Administrators of this wiki have the ability to protect and unprotect a page; this means that a certain group of users with a specific level of access to this wiki are prevented from editing or changing an article for a specific amount of time.
If you came here because you clicked on a small lock in the right-hand corner of a page, that means that page has been protected from editing. If you wish to discuss the terms of this action, please use the forums.

Any user may request a specific protection on a page to an administrator for major incidents of vandalism or other performances of disorderly conduct.
Please supply credible evidence of the circumstances that warrant a need for protection. Administrators are not obliged to protect a page simply by request. Contrary, administrators are highly encouraged to investigate the situation themselves first before protecting a page.
