Help:Edit protection/Notes about the "Is edit protected" special property

From Linux Web Expert

  • In case [[Is edit protected::true]] was annotated and someone removes the annotation without resetting the protection status with e.g. [[Is edit protected::false]] prior to it then the protection stays enforced until a user removes the restriction using the "protect" action via the page menu (&action=protect).
  • If for some reason [[Is edit protected::true]] and [[Is edit protected::false]] are annotated at the same time on the same page then the protection stays enforced.
  • If the page contains the manually added annotation [[Is edit protected::true]] then any attempt to remove the protection using the "protect" action via the page menu (&action=protect) or to alter its level will fail, i.e. the "smw-pageedit" protection continues to get enforced for as long as [[Is edit protected::true]] is stored on the page. The page will continue to be uneditable by users without the "smw-pageedit" user right.
  • If the page contains the manually added annotation [[Is edit protected::false]] then any attempt to add a protection using the "protect" action via the page menu (&action=protect) will fail, i.e. the "smw-pageedit" protection does not get enforced as for as long as [[Is edit protected::false]] is stored on the page. The page will continue to be editable by any user.
