Category:Protected templates

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  to the template. Be careful to place this inside a   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.
