Quick page to explain protected pages.

New page

[[Wikihack]] is a free community where anyone should be able to participate. Thus, almost without exception, every page features an "edit" tab allowing anyone to make changes or leave a comment. However, sometimes you will encounter a '''protected page''' which you cannot edit. In such cases, the [[Wikihack:administrators|administrators]] of Wikihack have decided to lock the page.

If you cannot edit the page, then what can you do?
* ''Leave a comment.'' Use the "discussion" tab to reach the "talk page", then edit and leave a comment. For example, you could ask another user to edit the protected page. Or discuss the situation in the [[Wikihack:Community Portal|Community Portal]].
* ''Login.'' Some pages are only protected against unregistered users, usually to counter vandalism. Users with registered accounts can still edit. So [[Special:Userlogin|create a user account and login]]. (If you already have a Wikia or Memory Alpha account, then it works here.) Note that new users may need to a wait a few days before they can edit these pages.
** If you later become an [[Wikihack:Administrators|administrator]], then you will be able to edit protected pages (in addition to protecting and unprotecting them). However, only registered users can become administrators.
* ''Edit a different page.'' The vast majority of Wikihack articles are ''not'' protected.
