This category contains pages which have been fully protected to prevent vandalism and other unconstructive editing. This is usually done in cases where a page is particularly visible, such as Main Page, or has been subject to a very large amount of vandalism. Full protection prevents a page being edited except by administrators. In most cases, semi-protection (which prevents a page being edited by anonymous and newly registered users) is sufficient to deal with vandalism; see Category:Semi-protected against vandalism for pages which have been semi-protected for this reason.

Use {{pp-vandalism}} to add a page to this category. This should only be done if the page is in fact protected – adding the template does not in itself protect the page.
