In some circumstances, pages may need to be '''protected''' from modification by certain groups of editors. Pages are protected when there is disruption that cannot be prevented through other means such as [[BP:Blocking policy|blocks]]. Wikipedia is built on the principle that [[BP:5P3|anyone can edit]] and therefore aims to have as many pages as possible open for public editing so that anyone can add material and correct errors. This policy states in detail the protection types and procedures for page protection and unprotection and when each protection should and should not be applied. | |||
Protection is a technical restriction applied only by [[Bharatpedia:Administrators|administrators]], although any user may [[BP:Requests for page protection|request protection]]. Protection can be [[Bharatpedia:List of indefinitely protected pages|indefinite]] or expire after a specified time. The various levels of protection are detailed below, and they can be applied to the page edit, page move, page create, and file upload actions. Even when a page is protected from editing, the [[source code]] ([[wikitext]]) of the page can still be viewed and copied by anyone. | |||
A protected page is marked at its top right by a padlock icon, usually added by the {{tlx|pp-protected}} template. | |||
