Category:Wikipedia protected templates (view source)
Revision as of 11:51, 2 April 2022
, 11:51, 2 April 2022←Created page with '{{template category}} {{Maintenance category|hidden=yes|shortcut=CAT:PT}} This category contains templates which have been Wikipedia:Protect...'
{{template category}}
{{Maintenance category|hidden=yes|shortcut=CAT:PT}}
This category contains [[Help:Template|templates]] which have been [[Wikipedia:Protection policy|fully or template protected]]. This is usually done to prevent [[Wikipedia:Vandalism|vandalism]] to templates that are used on a large number of pages, or on very visible pages such as the [[Main Page]] (so-called "[[Wikipedia:High-risk templates|high-risk templates]]"), as vandalism to such templates would be very noticeable. Full protection prevents a page from being edited except by [[Wikipedia:Administrators|administrators]]. Template protection also allows editing by [[WP:TPE|template editor]].
'''''Note:''' The protection icon is automatically added by the recommended {{tl|documentation}} template.''
For a large notice, add {{tlx|Pp-template}} to the template. This should only be done if the page is in fact protected – adding the template does not in itself protect the page. Be careful to place this inside {{tag|noinclude}} tags, so that articles that transclude the template shouldn't get added to this category as well.
To view a complete list of protected pages, go to [[Special:ProtectedPages]].
