Semi-protection status change
Under "Protection levels", the description for semi-protected needs to be updated to show that on wikis where it is required to have an account for compliance with COPPA and other laws, it doesn't have much effect. Once a person has had their account for more than four days and has made 10 edits, they are autoconfirmed and no longer restricted by the page protection. Chances are, a person going to a COPPA-compliant wiki is already going to be in autoconfirmed status.

To make semi-protection useful for these wikis, another level in between "semi-protected" and "fully protected" (admin-only) would have to be created, or else make the "semi-protected" level adjustable so that an admin can select the number of edits and days before a user goes into autoconfirmed status for that wiki. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 14:47, May 21, 2014 (UTC)


 * You can submit feedback and suggestions at Special:Contact/feedback. Personally, I don't see such a customizable protection necessary. -- Tupka 217 14:59, May 21, 2014 (UTC)
