Category:Wikipedia semi-protected templates

The pages listed in this category are templates. This page is part of Wikipedia's administration and not part of the encyclopedia. Further template category notes This category contains pages in the template namespace. It should not be used to categorize articles or pages in other namespaces. To add a template to this category: If the template has a separate documentation page (usually called "Template:template name/doc"), add  [[Category:Wikipedia semi-protected templates]] to the <includeonly> section at the bottom of that page. Otherwise, add  <noinclude>[[Category:Wikipedia semi-protected templates]]</noinclude> to the end of the template code, making sure it starts on the same line as the code's last character.

This is a maintenance category, used for maintenance of the Wikipedia project. It is not part of the encyclopedia and contains non-article pages, or groups articles by status rather than subject. Do not include this category in content categories. This is a hidden category. It is not shown on its member pages, unless the corresponding user preference (appearance → show hidden categories) is set.

This category contains templates which have been semi-protected. This is usually done in response to vandalism or other unconstructive editing, or when the template is widely used, meaning that such vandalism is very noticeable – so-called "high-risk" templates. Semi-protection prevents a page being edited by anonymous or newly registered users; more vulnerable templates may be fully protected, which prevents them being edited except by administrators.

To add a template to this category, use {{Pp-template}}. This should only be done if the template is in fact semi-protected – adding the template does not in itself protect the page.
