: ''For meanings in specific fields, see protocol (computing) or protocol (cryptography).'' The word derives from a Greek phrase meaning "first leaf", referring to the first draft of a treaty. ==Diplomacy== Protocol is the etiquette of diplomacy and affairs of state. A protocol is a rule which guides how an activity should be performed, especially in the field of diplomacy. In the diplomatic and government fields of endeavor protocols are often unwritten guidelines. Protocols specify the proper and generally-accepted behavior in matters of state and diplomacy, such as showing appropriate respect to a head of state, ranking diplomats in chronological order of their accreditation at court, and so on. ==Agreements, treaties, contracts etc.== In international law and international relations, a protocol is a treaty or Treaty#Consequences of terminology that supplements a previous treaty or international agreement. A protocol can amend the previous treaty, or add additional provisions. Parties to the earlier agreement are not required to adopt the protocol; sometimes this is made clearer by calling it an 'optional protocol', especially where many parties to the first agreement do not support the protocol. Some examples: the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) established a framework for the development of binding greenhouse gas emission limits, while the Kyoto Protocol contained the limits later agreed upon. ==Log== Protocol can also mean the logbook of a meeting, the most notorious use being the "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion". ==IT== By the turn of the twenty-first century the word ''protocol'' had also come into wide use in the computer and communications fields; see communications protocol and protocol (computing).

One thousand and one things like here but shouldn't. The correct page is Communications protocol (with redirects Network protocol and Communication protocol). THey all need to be fixed but I'm not always sure which of the three terms to insert in the articles. Should we create a 4th redirect "protocol (computing)" to use the pipe trick? -- User:Tarquin ---- I reverted edit by 62.134.124.42(03:02, 4 Dec 2003) because most of the links made weren't relevant to the topic. See Wikipedia:Make_only_links_relevant_to_the_context. And it would have been difficult to revert once others started making revisions to it. (which is what is happening to Java programming language edited by the same user with the intention of providing more interwiki links.) User:Jay 14:14, 9 Dec 2003 (UTC) ---- Sometimes I think I'm ''parodying'' computer-science types' word usages when I break the news to them that some words begin with lower-case letters or tell them that the English language existed before computers, or that they didn't invent everything that was used in ancient Greece or the 17th century (many of them do literally think that mathematical induction originated in computer science!), but when I see what pages link to this one, and some of the things this page has said in its various former edits, I really think they do literally think the word ''protocol'' was first invented in the field of computer science and that that is the main way in which the word is used. It's hard to make fun of them sometimes. User:Michael Hardy 21:26, 11 Oct 2004 (UTC) ==Page rename planned== I am currently doing the incredibly painful job of ''actually looking'' at all the (long list) of pages which Special:Whatlinkshere/Protocol and finding all the links to protocol (some pages have more than one), and evaluating which ''protocol'' page they should actually link to. (Needless to say, a lot are wrong.) I only want to do this once. Look, I sympathize with the complaint above, that people seem to think that the term ''protocol'' was invented for computers. At the same time, a lot of pages are (incorrectly) linked here, basically because people who wrote articles were too lazy to clink on all their links and check to make sure that they go to the right place. Human nature being what it is, we can expect this to continue, and to hope otherwise is more than foolish. In other words, in the future they are going to create a ton more pages which link here incorrectly. So that in the future, when I correct the next batch of erroneous links, I won't have to go back through the (reasonably long) list of pages which do properly link here (in order to find the bogons), I am going to rename this page (to something like "protocol (non-computer)" - although now that I look at it, it might be best to have "protocol (etiquette)" and "protocol (treaty)", separately), and turn protocol into a disambiguation page (so that all links to it are known, ''a priori'', to be incorrect). Anyone who has a problem with this is going to be on the hook for fixing all the bad links I haven't yet fixed (there are tons, looking at Special:Whatlinkshere/Protocol) themselves - in other words, because I'm doing the work, I strongly maintain that I get to make the call on renaming the page. User:Jnc User_talk:Jnc 16:51, 1 Dec 2004 (UTC) : Firstly, I strongly disagree with this last sentiment; it seems very un-Wikipedia-like to me. Don't get me wrong, it's great that you've put in the effort to make incoming links more specific, thanks! However, your worthy efforts do not give you any special priority to dicate which disambiguation scheme should be used here, nor does a disagreement with your idea imply any kind of responsibility or obligation. Having said that, I do agree with your scheme: this page (protocol) should be a disambiguation page. User:Matt Crypto 17:42, 1 Dec 2004 (UTC) :: Well, rather than argue the point (I do feel that people who are putting in work get more of a say than people who are just standing around), let me just put it a different way you cannot possibly disagree with: unless we do make some change so that future links to the page are basically guaranteed to be incorrect, I won't do the work this time around! :-) I can't see anything problematic with that! (After all, you can't make me do it any more than I can make you, right? :-) :: Anyway, thanks for the support, and an important question: where should we move the content? I'm leaning toward separating it into "protocol (etiquette)" and "protocol (treaty)", but if you have a better idea, I'm not stuck on that particular scheme. User:Jnc User_talk:Jnc 20:41, 2 Dec 2004 (UTC) ::: Sounds a reasonable scheme to me, although perhaps there's not enough to make protocol (etiquette) anything more than a dic-def, and perhaps the disambig page should simply point to etiquette for this sense?
