 * Please see Help:Editing, hopefully that helps. For your second question, anyone can upload new versions of a picture unless you protect it. -- 01:45, June 23, 2010 (UTC)


 * Generally pages including the main page should not be protected unless they are suffering a from a vandalism problem as wikis are designed for open editing - see Protection and help:Page protection for more information. Once a wiki has developed the main templates are often protected as any changes made by inexperienced editors (of templates) can effect many pages. If you are an admin you do not need to unprotect pages to edit them unless using a different acount, you just get a warning that they are a protected page. Pages in the Media wiki namespace can only be edited by a wikis admis as they effect the wikis interface and system messages.


 * If users are changing imageswith out explaining why in the edit summary that could be considered vandalism and a reason to protect them, but the wiki should set up polices on what is acceptable (or not) in agreement between the community. Notr you can keep an ey on pages by clicking the follow button (Watch) on critical pages or checking the option in your preferences to watch all pages you edit. Then look at the watchlist regularly to see what has been changed. - BulldozerD11 10:37, June 23, 2010 (UTC)
