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
noteparameter 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.
