Cèṭa'an:Cascade-protected template
TemplateStyles' src
attribute must not be empty.
This template can only be edited by administrators because it is transcluded onto one or more cascade-protected pages. |
This is a cascade-protection notice, mostly intended for near the top of the documentation pages of template that are subject to cascaded protection because of their transclusion in some other page, Cèṭa'an:Em which are expected to have that protection indefinitely.
While a similar template is automatically generated by the system from MediaWiki:Cascadeprotected as an edit notice when someone tries to edit ("view source") on such a template, they have to actually try that before they get any inkling that the template is protected because of cascading. By putting a notice also on the template's /doc page, this should forestall attempts to have the template's protection level reduced to template-editor level (such requests must always be declined in cases of cascade-protection).
Usage
beccè'Just add {{Cascade-protected template}}
near the top of the template's /doc subpage (usually right below the {{documentation subpage}}
header).
In the odd case that the cascade-protected page is not a template, |page=
can be used to change the word, e.g. |page=interface page
.
This template is not for temporary protection. Many pages get short-term cascade-protected because of transclusion from an article listed on the Main Page for a few days. We do not need to tag then untag 100+ templates with this notice during that period. Volunteer editorial time is Wikipedia's most precious resource, and WP is not BureaucracyPedia.
