Template:Protected page text/doc

This template displays the text that users see when they do not have permission to edit a page. This template was created to encourage removal of pain and to replace those MediaWiki messages.

For convenience, there are six subtemplates already filled out with the settings for semi-protection, extended-confirmed protection, full protection, cascade protection, user JSON page protection, and user script protection: {{Protected page text/semi}}, {{Protected page text/extendedconfirmed}}, {{Protected page text/full}}, {{Protected page text/cascade}}, {{Protected page text/user-json}} and {{Protected page text/interface}}. It is recommended that you use these subtemplates, as this will allow you to benefit from future updates to the templates.

Syntax

Pre-defined settings

Semi-protection {{protected page text/semi}}

Extended-confirmed protection {{protected page text/extendedconfirmed}}

Full-protection {{protected page text/full}}

Pages transcluded in cascade-protected pages {{protected page text/cascade}}

Manual settings

{{protected page text
| image = 
| protection-message = 
| suggestions = 
| protection-reason = 
}}

Parameters

• image - The shackle image used in the top message box. Defaults to Full-protection-shackle.svg.
• protection-message - The message inside the top message box. This should explain that the page is protected, and who can edit it. This parameter is required.
• suggestions - If this parameter is set with any text, the template shows the "Why is the page protected?" and "What can I do?" headings with a list of suggestions on what actions editors can take upon discovering that they can't edit the page. This parameter can be used with the #ifexist parser function to display the suggestions only on existing pages (i.e. to disable them on create-protected pages).
• protection-reason - The general reasons why pages of a given protection level might be protected. This is the first bullet point under the "Why is the page protected?" heading. This parameter is required.
• log-text - Optional text to use instead of the protection log explanation in the "Why is the page protected?" heading.
• who-can-edit - The users that can edit pages protected at this level. This should start with a capital letter and include a grammatical article, e.g. An [[Uncyclopedia:Administrator|administrator]]. This parameter is required.

Example

The following example uses the code for full protection.

Code

{{protected page text
| protection-message = This page is currently [[Uncyclopedia:Protection policy#Full protection|protected]] so that only [[Uncyclopedia:Administrators|administrators]] can edit it.
| suggestions = {{#ifexist: {{FULLPAGENAME}} | yes}}
| protection-reason = Full protection is usually reserved for highly visited pages, such as [[AAAAAAAAA!]]. Most pages can be edited by everyone.
