Category:Semi-protected templates

The pages listed in this category are templates. This page is an administrative page only, and not to be seen as an article. Further template category notes This category contains pages in the template namespace. It should not be used to categorize articles or pages in other namespaces. To add a template to this category: If the template has a separate documentation page (usually called "Template:template name/doc"), add  [[Category:Semi-protected templates]] to the <includeonly> section at the bottom of that page. Otherwise, add  <noinclude>[[Category:Semi-protected templates]]</noinclude> to the end of the template code, making sure it starts on the same line as the code's last character.

This is a maintenance category, used for the maintenance of BTW. It is not part of the encyclopedia and contains non-article pages, or groups articles by status rather than subject. Do not include this category in content categories. This is a hidden category. It is not shown on its member pages, unless the corresponding user preference (appearance → show hidden categories) is set.

This category contains templates which have been semi-protected. This is usually done in response to vandalism or other unconstructive editing, or when the template is widely used, meaning that such vandalism is very noticeable – so-called "high-risk" templates. Semi-protection prevents a page being edited by anonymous or newly registered users; more vulnerable templates may be template protected or fully protected, which prevents them being edited except by administrators and template editors.

To add a template to this category, use {{Pp-template}}. This should only be done if the template is in fact semi-protected – adding the template does not in itself protect the page.
