There have been numerous edit wars over the "Difficulty" section on the level pages.

Most blocked pages have been unblocked anyway. The sandbox was deleted, and the logs say it was done by you. However, if it was just an accident, then you would be happy to restore the page. It was moved from User:Wildoneshelper/Sandbox/Level_100 to User:Level 100, so you will need to undelete the latter page and then move it over the redirect to the former. To undelete, use Special:Undelete (instructions on the page), then move the page back to its original position through a normal page name change. If you need any help with any of that, feel free to ask.

From looking at the protection logs at time of writing, only three pages have been unprotected following the infinite protection of 13 different level pages in the last month. I took a random sample of 6 of those pages and looked at their page histories and to say there were edit wars is really stretching the definition a bit. Ok, there was one difficulty, it was changed, it was changed back and the page protected. That's not how it works. When it was changed back, you should give your reasons why in the comments section and allow the other user to respond and you both come to a compromise. Protecting a page after so minimal a dispute is just not the way of encouraging a free and open editing community. Talk about your problems. It sounds cheesy, but it truly is the best way to make everyone happy in the end. Anyway, if you want to keep the difficulty level thing (which I really don't recommend), you should follow an objective formula to minimise disputes. Wildoneshelper has quite a good basis for a scale of difficulty which can be found here. I suggest you guys should discuss how to alter that scale to make everyone happy, then make a template containing the maths (I know somebody who could probably do it if you don't know how) and have that as a standard across all pages which is agreed upon and completely objective to minimise disputes. That way the difficulty isn't up to individual experience but is based on certain criteria, removing the need for edit warring or subjective discussions.
