message: Why does the protection infobox contain the phrase "...for the page $1" (Wikimarkup $1)? It has been that way since the page was created in 2007. Are the nowiki tags an error that stop the $1 from being substituted? Guy Macon (talk) 12:50, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: The $1 is a placeholder, and is replaced by the actual page title when the message is displayed on the protection interface. E.g., on this page the interface reads "". Not sure whether the nowiki tags are actually required (don't known at which point of parsing the placeholder is substituted), but they don't hurt. Amalthea 13:52, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Why the "Page $1"? 

message: I realize this is almost certainly the wrong place, but I'm leaving this here because for the life of me I can't find the correct page. In the "Edit" and "Move" dropdown boxes in the "Confirm protection" area of the protection MediaWiki page, the top selection for both is currently "Allow only template editors and admins". This seems counter-intuitive to me; I think it is more logical for the topmost option to be no protection at all, as has traditionally been the case. So, if someone with the proper know-how would be so kind - and provided it won't break anything - could you please move "Allow only template editors and admins" down to the third or fourth slots in both boxes. Thanks. --Bongwarrior (talk) 01:35, 16 August 2014 (UTC)

text: Anomie's proposed patch is  and is being currently opposed by odder, Steinsplitter and Ricordisamoa. Guys, can any of you explain that, because I honestly don't understand? Matma Rex talk 11:26, 16 August 2014 (UTC)
replies: text:  @Matma Rex:  I don't think that is required.  Why don't you just continue calling the three of us fucking retards? That's helpful, thanks! odder (talk) 11:28, 16 August 2014 (UTC)

replies: text:  @Matma Rex:  Fine.  If you consider myself and @Steinsplitter fucking retards, why are you pinging us and asking for information? It is clear that you don't really want it, so why bother. odder (talk) 11:47, 16 August 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  Edit request 

message: Looking at the new full protection lock, I'm not sure the is a good fit for our use case here.  My understanding is that we used the old full protection lock to represent protection generally, not specifically full protection.  Given that the new one has a large "F" on it which, in my estimation, makes it look out of place in this context, are there any opinions on using one of the below images to represent protection generally instead?
File:Full-protection-shackle-no-text.svg|Same lock, no "F"
File:Full-protection-shackle-keyhole.svg|Same lock, keyhole instead of "F"
I personally like the keyhole version (disclaimer: I made the keyhole one from the base SVG) and wanted to see if there were opinions either way.  Best, Mifter (talk) 04:26, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah — I replaced it to match, but I agree having a good generic lock for "protected" or "unprotected" would be good.  I have no strong opinion.  Courtesy ping . ~  Amory (u • t • c) 15:03, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
