- Lock down/protected Mode
This mode is enabled on the wiki to protect against ongoing vandalism which may involve multiple users, user accounts or IP addresses.
This mode disables anonymous edits and new user accounts.
This disables anonymous edits from IP. Its helpful for spam or vandalism. The page WikiIslam:Forum can still be edited by IP users. For spam on that page, protect it temporarily separately.

Admin Related Useful Links and Information
- New Users log | MediaWiki:Titleblacklist | MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist
- CSS and Javascript: MediaWiki:Common.js (for edit toolbar) | MediaWiki:Monobook.js | MediaWiki:Monobook.css | MediaWiki:Common.css
- Usernames lists for Auto block:
- MediaWiki:Bpl-1 (use for new editors for less monitoring)
- MediaWiki:Bpl-2 (trusted and frequent editors only; use this list with caution)
- Special:UnreviewedPages - pages that need to be reviewed (Help page for Flagged revisions)
- Clear Site Cache - The Site Caches store previously retrieved data and pages to speed up site performance. If cleared, it will increase our average CPU usage on the server for some time and effect speed slightly (for about an hour or so) as new caches are created. Only clear the site cache when there are problems with multiple templates or pages not showing up their most recent versions. If clearing the site cache does not solve the issue, the problem might be something else.
- User Rights Management
