Among other things, [[NSwiki:Administrators|administrators]] can protect pages from editing using the link "Protect this page" in the sidebar. This happens when a page has been the subject of an [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Edit war|edit war]] or is the target of repeated [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:dealing with vandalism|vandalism]]. Admins have no special rights over NSwiki content and [[NSwiki:policy|policy]] states they should not protect pages in which they are personally involved. Admins only edit protected pages when absolutely necessary. An exception is the [[Main Page]] and a few widely used [[NSwiki:Info boxes|templates]], which are permanently protected because they are highly exposed targets. On protected pages, non-administrators see a "view source" link in place of "edit this page", allowing them to see and copy (but not save) the [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Glossary|wikitext]].

Moving right along

If the title of an article does not follow NSwiki's naming conventions, or it has simply been misspelled, you can fix this with a page move. This creates a redirect at the old location, so please fix any double redirects that result. The talk page, if any, will normally be moved as well. However, a page move is not possible if a page already exists at the desired destination. If you have this problem, please do not simply cut and paste the content to the new location (otherwise we lose the edit history, which is included in a page move). Instead, please contact an administrator, so they can arrange the merge / move.
