<DIV dir=ltr>There is no semi-protection value for Noisebridge's MediaWiki installation. </DIV></BLOCKQUOTE>

<DIV>then i'm confused. If i try to edit my page now when not logged in, i get "cannot edit this page" error. I have to log in to edit it. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Andy told me he applied "semi-protection" to another page of mine that was getting vandalized, and it successfully prevented more abuse. Wikimedia doc calls prevention of anonymous edits "semi-protection". </DIV>

<DIV>If you look at the edit history, you'll notice that there have been no malicious edits since I protected the page. I have also blocked the IP address that added your personally identifiable information.</DIV></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE>
<DIV>this is likely my own misunderstanding, but i thought i saw several anon edits on the page AFTER your change yesterday. Today I rolled back my page to an April version, and now i do not see the intervening anon edits anymore. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>No worries, the protection seems to be working. THANK YOU for your time and efforts!</DIV>

<DIV>AFAIK, the options are </DIV>
<DIV> - unprotected </DIV>
<DIV> - semiprotected </DIV>
<DIV> - full protected </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>It appears that semiprotected is fairly close to what you want; anon </DIV>
<DIV>users and "unregistered accounts" cannot edit. A random account I just </DIV>
<DIV>created seems to not be able to edit, while a random account I created a </DIV>
<DIV>few years ago can edit. So let's try that. Let me know if you see any </DIV>
<DIV>problems. </DIV>
