* Protecting the Main Page from vandalism.
* Maintaining the integrity of the copyright and license pages.
* Maintaining the integrity of past press releases.
* Protecting certain "system administration" pages. 3) Temporarily:
* Enforcing a "cool down" period to stop an "edit war," upon request.
* Protecting a page that has been a recent target of persistent vandalism or persistent edits by a banned user.
* Preventing changes to a page while investigating a possible bug.
