#Brought the office protection into the table, since functionally it's the same as full protection.

*You need to open a discussion here regarding whether your changes would be advisable before reinstating the changes. I'm not sure you have made a persuasive argument. -- [[User:Ssilvers|Ssilvers]] ([[User talk:Ssilvers|talk]]) 15:22, 17 March 2024 (UTC)▼
*I was about to revert, but Johnuniq beat me to it. This table's primary function is to explain the technical effects of the most common protection levels, and to a lesser extent give nods to where each level is typically meant to be used. It is not meant to be, and cannot be, a compendium of how different protection levels interact with other editing guidelines. For example, while it's true that (as you say in your edit summary [https://en.wikipedia.org/?diff=prev&oldid=1214081483 here]) {{tq|Although administrators can technically edit a fully protected page ... they're not supposed to abuse that privilege to impose their POV}}, it's also true that EC editors are not supposed to abuse their ability to edit ECP pages to impose their POV, nor are autoconfirmed editors supposed to abuse that privilege to impose their POV on semiprotected pages, and so on; none of that needs to to repeated in this table. Meanwhile, it's ''not'' true that, as you claim in the text you actually added to the table in the same edit, {{tq|Even administrators are not allowed to edit fully protected page without a [[WP:CONSENSUS|consensus]] on the talk page}}, because if a BLP violation is found that should be removed without delay.
