User:Ajpolino/Med protection

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hi all, the goal here is to review the protection of medicine-related pages with an eye towards reducing or removing protections that are no longer needed.

Cryptic provided a list of pages tagged with WP:MED and under some level of protection (full list), but below I've pasted a trimmed version that doesn't include move protection, protected redirects, templates (see this page's history for a list) or covid-related pages. Please take a look through the list. If there are any that you feel are candidates for reducing or removing protection, let me know and I'll happily look into it. Bonus points if you can commit to watchlisting the article for a few months so we can easily re-protect if needed. Also, the list is from November 2020, so if you come across any that are no longer protected just remove them from the list. Happy to hear folks' thoughts! Ajpolino (talk) 14:25, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

Table of pending changes protection

[edit]

Ah rats, just realized my initial list didn't include pages under pending changes protection. Generated a list with this PetScan query and pasted below. No expiration dates since it came through PetScan, but most pendingchanges protections I've seen are placed indefinitely (although there is an option to add an expiration date).

The indef semi on tetrasomy X was removed after my rewrite -- the histmerge process used to replace the article with my draft removes protection, and I didn't request reinstatement as I didn't find such a request likely to pass. The timing, as you can tell, coincided with the thread, so it might well unofficially be part of the trial. I haven't seen any disruptive editing from IPs...or really any editing from IPs at all. I don't think it 'needed' protection, but as I'm going for FA with it I may have preferred to keep it depending how the TFA pending changes trial goes (I'm an advocate for some kind of protection for TFAs).

I generally find Pending Changes to be more trouble than it's worth. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 04:59, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
I tend to agree that pending changes is more hassle than it's worth – it's like semi-protection, but without saving editors' time, since each proposed edit must be reviewed. Certainly folks can request edits to semiprotected articles, but in my experience, most do not. VP, if it's any comfort to you, Buruli ulcer (my first trip through FAC) was up at TFA March 24th. If you look at the page history, you can see a handful of edits that day, some helpful, some not. All vandalism was reverted within a few minutes. I didn't have to lift a finger. And now we're back to the regular slow-drip of edits that I'm accustomed to.
Anyway, glad to hear the protection removal at Tetrasomy X has been uneventful. I've updated the table above. I'm hopeful that if Triple X syndrome gets moved, we can try unprotecting that as well per your original suggestion. Ajpolino (talk) 17:05, 20 April 2021 (UTC)

Update on that matter: trisomy X was moved, I rewrote it in userspace, and the histmerge procedurally removed the protection as expected. Will be keeping a close eye. Vaticidalprophet 15:04, 23 May 2021 (UTC)
