	~~==If you have been blocked by mistake==~~
	We apologize for the inconvenience. We will remove your block within 24 hours and notify you on your talk page. The vandalism protection system places some reasonable constraints on edits that should not be a problem for most editing activity. If you become a regular editor on this site, you wont be bothered by the protection system. You may also email us at {{site email}} regarding this block and tell us about the edit you were tying to make.

	~~==Reason for having such a system==~~
	Giving any internet user the power to edit a website has its advantages and disadvantages. On October 26, 2006, WikiIslam came under its first bot-based vandalism attack. The attack went on for about an hour, and new user registrations were then disabled for some time. The third and last unrestricted attack was on November 20, 2006. A system was developed to deal with such attacks and limit vandalism to an easily manageable level. Without such a system it would be impossible to have this website. We keep regular backups of the site and in any situation it is always possible to restore the wiki to its previous state.

	Sometimes this system may temporarily intercept activities of new editors and automatically block them from editing the wiki. Auto Blocks are logged and we investigate every incident, usually within 24 hours.

	~~==Main Page Edits==~~
	For security reasons, Main page edits are restricted to users who have been around on the wiki for some time. If you are a new user and have any changes to suggest for the Main Page, please leave a message on the [[Talk:Main_Page\|Talk page]] of the Main page.

	~~==Page Moves==~~
	~~New users are not allowed to move pages to new titles. Please leave a message on the talk page of an article if you think it should be renamed.~~

	~~==Lock down/protected Mode==~~
	This mode is enabled on the wiki to protect against ongoing vandalism which may involve multiple user accounts or IP addresses. If you are new to the site and want to make an edit and see the edit protection notice, please try your edit again later. Regular editors of the site are still able to edit the site when its in protected mode. Link for administrators: [[WikiIslam:Administrators]] (turn protection on or off)

	* [[WikiIslam:Administrators]]
	* [[Special:Log/autoblock\|Auto Block Log]]

	The Auto Block log only shows the unsuccessful attempts of a user to edit or move a page. The actual blocking of the user is initiated by Auto Block but is shown in the regular [[Special:Log/block\|block log]].
