Forum:SH:Protection policy update and rewrite

One of the things I will be proposing at the upcoming Mofference (item 6 on the agenda) is a complete rewrite of the protection policy. Rather than bog the Mofference itself down in arguments over minor details and end up being told to CT it, I'm going to open up a thread here to discuss the proposed rewrite so we can iron out any problems in advance.

The proposal can be found at User:Master Jonathan/Mofference/6/WP:PP. The rewrite is related to a vote on the super-semi-protection abuse filter, which isn't supported by the current protection policy, so the section on super-semi-protection may be removed if the filter is rejected. Highlights of the rewrite include:
 * Complete rewrite to sound more professional and explain things to newbies a little better
 * Updated full protection section to reflect current practices
 * Expanded semi-protection section
 * Addition of sections on move, creation, and upload protection, none of which were present before
 * Placeholder era icons to be used on super-semi-, move-, and upload-protected pages (the actual icons will have to be created by someone else, as I haven't a clue how to do so)

Please tell me what you think of the rewrite. Is it good? Bad? Should I tweak or remove something? Throw the whole thing in the trash and start over? I'd like to have a version that represents a rough consensus by Mofference time so we can speed things up at the Mofference. &mdash;MJ&mdash; (Jedi Council Chambers) Friday, January 27, 2012, 00:49 UTC
