Extended confirmed protection (also known as "30/500 protection") is a new level of article protection that only allows edits from accounts with 500 edits and 30 days account age. The automatically assigned "extended confirmed" user right was created for this purpose. The protection level was created following this community discussion with the primary intention of enforcing various arbitration remedies that prohibit editors under the "30 days/500 edits" threshold to edit certain topic areas. The Arbitration Committee recently passed a motion that established a few expectations for use of the protection within the scope of arbitration enforcement.
The protection policy currently states that extended confirmed protection may only be applied in topic areas authorized by the Arbitration Committee or as a result of community consensus
(per
this discussion). However, it also states that Criteria for community use have not been established.
This request for comment seeks to establish such a community process for the use of extended confirmed protection.
Currently, the two protection levels in common use are semiprotection, which allows edits from registered accounts with 10 edits and 4 days tenure, and full protection, which allows edits by administrators only. Some vandals have managed to skirt semiprotection and cause some disruption; see this discussion for an example. However, the vast majority of vandalism can be stopped by semiprotection.
Please choose one or more of the following options:
Support option(s) by bolding Option BCE, etc.
