Plantilla:Protected

---

Usage

General protection template to inform users a page is protected. (Note: This does not protect pages. Only admins can do that.)

• Adds files to Category:Protected files and everything else except user pages, user talk pages, and templates to Category:Protected pages. If the page is not protected, it will end up in Category:Unprotected pages using protection templates.

Syntax: {{protected|give reason here}}.

• If no reason is given the default is "to prevent vandalism".
• The second line doesn't show up on talk pages or user pages (unless the note parameter is used).

Examples

The message box does not appear on semi-protected pages or upload-only protected files. An icon still appears in the top-right corner.
