I was curious, how does someone recreate the "30/500" type of protection that is found on Wikipedia on their own wiki?
Topic on Project:Support desk
> 30/500 protection prevents editing by users without 30 days tenure and 500 edits on the English Wikipedia. It is applied to combat any form of disruption where semi-protection has proven to be ineffective.
I do not positively know the technical background, but that might be some kind of autoconfirmation. See Manual:Autoconfirmed users for more details!
I don't believe it is from Manual:Autoconfirmed users, mainly because that effects the whole wiki. This protection implies that it's only on specific articles where semi-protection hasn't worked against vandalism,
