This template uses Lua:
  • Module:Protection banner

This is the {{pp-template}} protection notice.

It is used on protected templates and on protected file (image) pages.

This template does not show on pages that are not protected; instead, it reports an error. Please note that only administrators can protect pages; this template only informs about the protection status of the page.

This template should usually not be manually placed on template pages, since it is automatically loaded by the {{Documentation}} template of protected template pages. Protected templates (both semi and full) should preferably have a documentation subpage (/doc) so that any editor can update the documentation, categories and interwiki links of the template. See Wikipedia:Template documentation for more on that.

This template automatically detects the edit protection level (semi or full) of a page, and whether it is on a template or file page, and modifies its appearance and how it categorizes the page.

  • Use {{pp-template}} for the normal appearance (a small icon at the top).
  • Use {{pp-template|small=no}} for the large message box. On file pages we recommend using the large box. (It is usually a good idea to also add the {{nocommons}} box on protected image pages, to remind people that protected images should not be deleted even if there is a backup copy on Commons.)

When {{pp-template}} is added to a protected template, it should be placed inside ‎<noinclude>...‎</noinclude> tags (otherwise, every page which uses the template will load the protection notice, which will result in an error message). On file (image) pages the <noinclude></noinclude> tags are not necessary.
