Forum:Protection for all templates, and more user access levels
Protecting the Template and Module namespace from vandals
As one may know, the Template and Module namespaces (Namespaces 10 and 828 respectively) are ones that are critical for the functioning of various Uncyclopedia pages. While some of those pages are protected or semi-protected as an anti-vandal measure, templates that are transcluded onto pages, and modules fueling templates, can be vandalized by various IPs and new users, which poses a significant danger to the integrity of many pages, including the main page and other frequently visited pages such as AAAAAAAAA!. Therefore, I am asking whether all templates and modules should be automatically semi-protected; this will protect many critical pages from vandalism.

More access levels and forms of protection
Uncyclopedia has many access levels: starting from the lowest (IPs), you have users, autoconfirmed users, users with rollback, admins (sysops) and bureaucrats. These few access levels are rather limited compared to Wikipedia. I will detail into a few of these below.
Extended-confirmed users and protection
On Wikipedia, an extended-confirmed user is one with 500 edits or more, and that has had an account for more than 30 days. This will allow for articles that are prone to vandalism even when semi-protected to be protected further, without locking down the page solely to admins. This could easily be of use on Uncyclopedia, and can replace full protection on high traffic pages such as AAAAAAAAA! and high-use templates. Whether this should be implemented would depend on how everyone thinks about it.

Template editors and template protection
Many crucial templates on Wikipedia are protected via "template protection" instead of full protection. By using "template protection" and allowing a certain subset of non-administrator users (template editors) to edit these templates, this would allow quite a few skilled users to be able to improve Uncyclopedia's templates. This one should be simple enough to implement.

- For. Excellent idea given the need for modernization of many templates + sporking from Wikipedia. Also because of recent vandal targeting of high-use mainspace templates. →L A B O R A T O R I E S 04:58 2 August 2019

abusefilter-view permission
This permission, although not included as a separate userrole in Wikipedia, could be useful to some users on Uncyclopedia. Whether this should be implemented should be left up to the community on Uncyclopedia. This permission could also be bundled with another user-role (such as extended-confirmed).
Comment. Unsure. - 
Against. This is set manually per filter anyway. →
