Forum:How to limit (or set permission) for just some user can edit my wiki?

Hi! I'm an admin of this wiki: http://thedeadways.wikia.com

I'm just newbie and not so good at English but still understand what you said (atleast I think so)

Well, I created that wiki for a fiction. Problem is Fiction has fan and anti-fan. Some anti-fan is fair and they do thing fairly, too. But some is not. Well, in our old wiki, some bad guy edit alot and when our page is to many, we just can't fix the edited-post anymore.

So, we come to wikia, hope to find a solution for this. Maybe we just need to know how to set permission for some user to edit or add new page. But I don't know how to do it?

I seach the google but with key word has wikia, it just... unable to find any real question for real wikia. :(

So, please, help me if you don't mind. Show me how to do it.

Thank you so much.

 * You can block users that vandalize your wiki. You can also protect pages that you want only registered users to edit.
 * Thank you so much! But another problem is in my country, many people use dynamic IP, so ban IP isn't and good idea. Let un-login user can't edit is good. But can I question one small thing that how stop "add new page" from un-registerd user, too?
 * Oh, and I don't understand so much about 1 line in protect of a page "protect from new registered user and un-registered user". What is new registered user mean? How long does it take to let them become not-new-registered-user? The Signer 03:54, March 24, 2011 (UTC)

 * If you are having problems with a vandal using a dynamic IP, talk to VSTF. They can block a range of IPS. If you protect a page from new and unregistered contributors, it stops all unregistered contributors always and new contributors are no longer considered new after a certain time period, I believe a week or so.--
 * On wikipedia, it's a week and 10 edits. I'm not sure what it is for Wikia, but I know you can find out somewhere.
 * Sysops can rangeblock on Wikia (IIRC). If there's someone who keeps creating new user accounts with IPs, we may be able to help with pinning that range down. Wikia's terms of use prohibit locking pages from everyone (and this probably won't help very much, and you may well lose lots of valid contributors).
