Editing Incubator escapee wiki:Protection policy (section)

=== Superprotect ===
{{shortcut|WP:SUPERPROTECT}}
Superprotect was a level of protection,<ref>{{cite web |title=Superprotect |website=Wikimedia Meta-Wiki |date=2014-09-08 | url=https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Superprotect |access-date=2024-03-20}}</ref> allowing editing only by [{{fullurl:Special:GlobalUsers|group=staff}} Wikimedia Foundation employees who were in the Staff global group]. It was [[gerrit:153302|implemented on August 10, 2014]] and [[mw:WMF product development process/2015-11-05|removed on November 5, 2015]]. It was never used on the English Wikipedia.

For several years, the [[Wikipedia:Namespace#Former namespaces|Gadget namespace]] (which no longer exists) could only be edited by WMF staff, which has sometimes been referred to as superprotection even though it is unrelated to the above use.
