message: The Wikipedia:Article message boxes project has now changed and standardised the styles for most of the message boxes that goes on article pages. We are now planning to change the protection templates to have a matching look when on article pages. But they will keep their old look when they appear anywhere else.
Here is an example of the new look. (Note: Exact colour for the left-side colour bar is not yet decided, and we will of course have the old full text in them, this is just a short example.)
	Editing of this page by unregistered or newly registered users is currently disabled.

thread_title:  Protection templates, new style 

message: I have created a /doc subpage for this template to separate the docs from the template code to make further editing easier. I have used the old method (that had consensus) described at Wikipedia:Template documentation before that page got heavily reworked yesterday.
I have chosen to start out with this protection template since it is not used on as many pages as the other protection templates. So if we screw up we don't cause so much damage. I have tested the changes I suggest here in my own sandbox in my own user space.
To make the /doc page work the following changes needs to be done to this template:
1. Remove the noinclude with the pp-template from the first line of code. It is added in the end instead, see below. Make the first line look like this:





That's all.

replies: text: Not at the moment, at least as far as banners that use Module:Protection banner. In theory it shouldn't be too hard to add support for action=upload to the module, but it would require a few coding changes. For example, at the moment, the Protection.supportedActions table in the module only contains "edit", "move", and "autoreview". I'm pretty sure all of the padlock templates around on Wikipedia use the module, although there might be other non-padlock templates that check for upload protection. — Mr. Stradivarius ♪ talk ♪ 10:25, 15 January 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not aware of any templates for upload protection either. I've just checked and PROTECTIONLEVEL does recognise upload as an action, so it should be possible to detect automatically. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 10:51, 15 January 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, it's available in Scribunto's title.protectionLevels as well, so that part wouldn't be a problem. Do you know if there are any other requests for this, by the way?

replies: text:  Sorry for the late reply. Yes, they can be incorporated - it is "just" a matter of updating the config module. You need to add entries for the templates in the "wrappers" table, giving them a suitable first positional parameter (the protection reason). Then you need to add an entry for that reason to the "upload" subtable of the "banners" table. Then you need to create the template page with . That should be all that's necessary. Actually, try it with the config sandbox first (so the template code would be ). Then you'll be able to see how things work without worrying about messing up the live templates.

message: Hello, I have a new suggestion for a reason proposal. I have been loooking for a bit, and I figured that a disruptive editing reason should be added (because the two main causes of semi-protection is either vandalism or disruptive editing. It would be great for this to be added, as there are a high amount of articles being protected from disruptive editing (I'm not too sure if vandalism and disruptive editing mean the same thing, or if they both have the same point). If you could consider the option for disruptive editing as a reason for this heavy used template, that would be great. Thank you, and have a good day. --Redolta (talk) 01:58, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: See WP:DE and WP:VAND. Vandalism is a special case of disruptive editing: the difference is basically one of intent.

After removing it (while logged in from my computer) as the protection expired hours ago, I'm now able to edit the article from my phone as an unregistered user.  And, as if by magic, an unregistered user made an unsourced edit to the article minutes after I removed the icon.  And no, it wasn't me!

replies: text:  The protection notice/icon templates such as  are just that, notices and icons. Their presence or absence has no effect whatsoever on the actual protection level of a page. The only other purpose of these template is categorisation: when used on a protected page, that page might be categorised in  (or similar); but when used on a non-protected page, it will be placed in . If a protection expires, but the icon is still displayed, the most likely cause is caching. There are one or two bots that look for pp templates that are used on unprotected pages, and remove them; these bots are not infallible, and pages that are missed are usually picked up by myself or  within a few days. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 22:59, 31 May 2018 (UTC)

thread_title:  Weird practice amongst administrators 

message: (Side comment) About your use of the vandalism category as an example, when i used  as a test on my user page, it used the baseplate user page category and not the specific vandalism one, but the blp category would be used over the user page one. I'll probably investigate whats going on there, since I've got no idea why theres a difference. Aidan9382 (talk) 13:00, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Unable to reproduce. Doesn't display at all for me. I think the banner doesn't display if it doesn't detect any page protection. –Novem Linguae (talk) 13:26, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Try doing ,  and  at Special:ExpandTemplates. Set the context title to User:Aidan9382/SafeEnvironmentTesting (semi-protected for this very purpose) so that the banner actually works and see the output categories. Aidan9382 (talk) 13:32, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Was able to reproduce. Userspace  is not placing in :Category:Wikipedia pages semi-protected against vandalism. Pretty minor, but if someone wants to fix it, go for it (assuming it's not intentional for some reason lost in history :) The bug is likely in a module somewhere, e.g. Module:Protection banner or Module:Protection banner/config. –Novem Linguae (talk) 13:44, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: It's nothing to do with the namespace, the  template intentionally displays nothing on a page that's not protected. Instead, it puts the page into hidden . The reason for this is partly so that it doesn't get used by people who think that the template alone is enough to confer protection, and partly so that the banner or padlock indicator vanish when the prot expires. If you want, I can set up some subpages of Template:Pp/testcases having different prot levels so that the messages may be demoed. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 05:45, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: The test page we were using to reproduce the bug, User:Aidan9382/SafeEnvironmentTesting, is semi-protected. Placing  on User:Aidan9382/SafeEnvironmentTesting does not place in :Category:Wikipedia pages semi-protected against vandalism, but a mainspace protected page such as Abraham Lincoln does. –Novem Linguae (talk) 05:49, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: But it does categorise into hidden , and also displays either a padlock icon or a banner, depending upon whether you used  or not. That banner or icon is the primary purpose of Module:Protection banner, which is the core of Template:Pp, any categorisation is a sideline. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 19:51, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

thread_title:  Pp userspace bug? 

message: On pages that are move-protected (Move=Require administrator access) but not edit-protected, the  template is added, indicating that the page is move-protected. On pages that have both edit-protection and move-protection enabled with different levels (Edit=Require autoconfirmed or confirmed access; Move=Require administrator access), the  template is added only once, and shows only a padlock about semi-protection from editing, without a padlock about move protection. Shouldn't it be placed twice for pages that have both edit-protection and move-protection enabled with different levels, where the first one is for edit protection and the second one is for move protection?
