Template talk:Protected

Heh, funny how the Protection template protects, yet it`s not protected.-- §  Eloc   §  17:40, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
 * The protection template does not protect, it just put a page in a certain category and puts a notice at the top of the page. Protection is a mechanic of the wiki itself that only sysops can access. -- Lemming [[Image:User Lemming64 sigicon.png]] 17:47, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Ya, I know ;P. Remember how I have a modified protection template on my User Page?-- §  Eloc   §  18:02, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

delete tag
Hmmm I am not convinced we should delete this, it still has it's uses, even if it doesn't categorise. -- Lemming 14:16, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
 * It contains pretty much all the info that the protection notices contain, except the reason; however, as Aberrant said, people may use it because they think it will actually protect their page. I don't really think it's needed anymore. -- [[Image:User Brains12 Spiral.png|18px|]] Brains12 \ talk 15:29, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Protection is unimportant to people that are not trying to edit it. If you are just looking at a page that is protected, there is no need to see that it is protected and why. However if you want to edit a page, and it is protected, you'll see the notice that it is protected and why it is protected. So there is really no need to use a template that does exactly that but requires an additional edit to add or remove it. poke | talk 17:03, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Fair points. I agree with you -- Lemming [[Image:User Lemming64 sigicon.png]] 18:12, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
