Category:Protected templates

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This category is used for administration of the Wikipedia project, and is not part of the encyclopedia. It contains pages which are not articles, or lists articles by status, rather than content.

Shortcut: CAT:PT

This category contains templates which have been fully protected. This is usually done to prevent vandalism to templates that are used on a large number of pages, or on very visible pages such as the Main Page (so-called "high-risk templates"), as vandalism to such templates would be very noticeable. Full protection prevents a page from being edited except by administrators.

To add a template to this category, add {{pp-template}} to the template. Be careful to place this inside a <noinclude> section, so that pages using the template don't get added to this category. This should only be done if the page is in fact protected – adding the template does not in itself protect the page.
