Protected Articles

A Protected article is an article the user has marked as one to prevent ACCIDENTAL ELIMINATION OR MODIFICATION OF ITS CONTENT. This protection does not cover changes in the provisional title. The title of a protected article can be modified anytime.

You can protect or unprotect an article any time you need without limitations. In the Browser of pages window, protected articles are easily recognized by a pink shade in the title background.

How to protect an article?

To protect an article against accidental elimination or content modification is easy:

1. Open the article (in the Edit window).

2. Check mark on the Protected article checking box located at the upper right corner of the window.

3. Close the article returning to the Browser of pages window. The protection will be effective only after closing the article.

4. To unprotect the article you only have to uncheck the checking box. You do not need to close the article to unprotect the content.

Does protection cover citations linking?

No, you can link and unlink citations (or references) of a protected article. You can build, eliminate, copy or move citations from one article to another independently of the protective condition of the articles.
