Semi-protection

Semi-protection prevents edits from any account that is not autoconfirmed (is at least five days old and has at least ten edits to VDC[confirm]) or confirmed. Semi-protection is useful when there is a significant amount of disruption or vandalism from new or unregistered users, or to prevent sockpuppets of blocked or banned users from editing.
