Category:TechInfoDepot protected templates

The pages listed in this category are templates. This page is part of TechInfoDepot's administration and not part of the encyclopedia. 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's name/doc"), add  [[Category:TechInfoDepot protected templates]] to the <includeonly> section at the bottom of that page. Otherwise, add  <noinclude>[[Category:TechInfoDepot 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 maintenance of the TechInfoDepot project. 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.

Shortcut: CAT:PT

This category contains templates which have been fully or template protected. This is usually done to prevent vandalism to templates that are used on a large number of pages, or on very visible pages such as the Main Page (so-called "high-risk templates"), as vandalism to such templates would be very noticeable. Full protection prevents a page from being edited except by administrators. Template protection also allows editing by template editor.

Note: The protection icon is automatically added by the recommended {{documentation}} template.

For a large notice, add {{Pp-template}} to the template. This should only be done if the page is in fact protected – adding the template does not in itself protect the page. Be careful to place this inside <noinclude>…</noinclude> tags, so that articles that transclude the template shouldn't get added to this category as well.
