Module:Protection banner

This is a general template for producing protection banners and padlock icons. It can be used with any protection reason, any protection action, and any protection level.

Usage

{{pp
| 1        = reason
| small    = yes
| action   = action
| date     = protection date
| user     = username
| section  = talk page section name
| category = no
}}

Parameters

All parameters are optional:

|1= – The reason that the page was protected. If set, this must be one of the values listed in the reasons table.
|small= – If set to yes, y, 1, or true, a padlock icon is generated instead of a full protection banner.
|action= – The protection action. Must be one of edit (for normal protection), move (for move-protection) or autoreview (for pending changes). The default value is edit.
|date= – The protection date. This must be valid input to the second parameter of the #time parser function. This argument only has an effect for the office and reset reasons.
|user= – The username of the user to generate links for. As of July 2014, this only has an effect when the usertalk reason is specified.
|section= – The section name of the protected page's talk page where discussion is taking place. This works for most, but not all, values of reason.
|category= – Categories are suppressed if this is set to no, n, 0, or false.

Reasons

The following table contains the available reasons, plus the actions for which they are available. Reasons are used to customize the banner text, to place articles in more specific hidden categories such as Category:Bharatpedia pages semi-protected against vandalism, and sometimes to change the icon of the banner (e.g. office actions).

Script error: No such module "Protection banner/documentation".

Syntax examples

Padlock icons

Padlock icon for a page protected due to vandalism:

{{pp|vandalism|small=yes}}

Padlock icon for a page temporarily protected due to editing disputes:

{{pp|dispute|small=yes}}

Banners

Banner for a page protected due to sockpuppetry, with a link to a talk page discussion:

{{pp|sock|section=Sockpuppetry concerns}}

Banner for a page temporarily move-protected due to page-move vandalism:

{{pp|vandalism|action=move}}

Visibility

This template will hide itself (not display a padlock icon) if it is used on a page that is not currently protected. User:MuskitBot may also automatically remove the template wikicode from pages that are not currently protected.
