Forum:PSA: Archive protection

This isn't really to be discussed, it is a simple public service announcement.

Recently (about a week ago), all of the wiki's archive pages were unprotected. The reasoning for this is that it makes it far easier for people to perform maintenance on these pages (important with the recent image cleanup project going on) and also because we don't really need to protect archives, in all honesty, we really only did it because it had caught on whenever it did and it just kept going, old habits die hard as they say.

So this is not an invitation for people to start editing archives (unless it is for maintenance). But admins - please do not protect archive pages any more! Otherwise, archives remain the same.
