Per the title. This is because I feel no reason for new users and IP's to contribute to them, plus is basically a vandal's home when it comes to vandalism. Please leave a message for Penro when you see something wrong I did. PenroDarkPitHead.png PenroZSSHead.png 21:51, 4 February 2016 (EST)

It is a point. I can't think of any real examples of recent policy vandals, but it's kind of like SW:ADMIN. There's no reason that anyone should be editing it. ---Preceding unsigned comment added by you. Or maybe DatNuttyKid. 21:53, 4 February 2016 (EST)
Might be a good idea. Disaster Flare My signature image for the default signature. Duplicate of Lucina's life white stock head. (talk) 21:54, 4 February 2016 (EST)
Check the history of SW:SOCK. Please leave a message for Penro when you see something wrong I did. PenroDarkPitHead.png PenroZSSHead.png 21:56, 4 February 2016 (EST)
Ahhh, okay. ---Preceding unsigned comment added by you. Or maybe DatNuttyKid. 21:57, 4 February 2016 (EST)

This would just be autoconfirmed users only, right? Not admins only? Because with policy edits non-admins would still maybe need to be able to edit it. ---Preceding unsigned comment added by you. Or maybe DatNuttyKid. 21:57, 4 February 2016 (EST)

Yep. Please leave a message for Penro when you see something wrong I did. PenroDarkPitHead.png PenroZSSHead.png 21:59, 4 February 2016 (EST)
That example happened today. I don't think that happens that much. -- EthanThis is a user image for Ethan7. Duplicate of:  File:DiddyKongHeadBlueSSB4-U.png(Discussion) 22:00, 4 February 2016 (EST)

I won't do it You'll have to convince someone else. I dislike this idea quite a lot, mostly because it seems overkill. It's a short step from protecting policies to protecting the whole SmashWiki namespace. Serpent SKSig.png King 22:16, 4 February 2016 (EST)

Please elaborate why it is overkill and why it is short step from protecting policies to protecting the whole Smashwiki namespace. Please leave a message for Penro when you see something wrong I did. PenroDarkPitHead.png PenroZSSHead.png 22:23, 4 February 2016 (EST)
The only policies that I have ever seen vandalized in my entire time here are SW:ADMIN and SW:SOCK. It's a short step because here's the path we're going down: Full protect SW:ADMIN -> Semi protect policies (this proposal) -> Semi protect SmashWiki namespace (most logical next step, should one take place) Serpent SKSig.png King 22:26, 4 February 2016 (EST)
