Template talk:Protected

Deletion
Yeah... this template is not even being used anymore. I checked "what links here", and its not on any of the pages on the wiki. Delete please? 20:42, 20 September 2009 (UTC)


 * I'd say no. This is mainly for protections after edit warring. So the need will come up again. It's just like the accuracy dispute template. Better to keep it. 20:44, September 20, 2009 (UTC)


 * Before you go through the trouble of finding all of them via 'What Links Here' check this out http://www.zeldawiki.org/Special:UnusedTemplates. Some of them need to go, I think, but the others are going to be used when needed. Sort of temporary templates, like this one will be while a page is locked. Such as Hyrule is now, but not all of the admins here get all the ducks in a row when taking this action. 20:48, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

Icon?
Wikipedia has their "Protected page" template as an icon which appears as a lock in the upper right hand corner. What if we changed this to an icon, too? It'd be nicer than a big old banner screaming at the readers about stuff which they have no opinion :P So what does everyone think? 22:38, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
 * That's probably a good idea, as the Semi-Protected template is an icon, too. It's of a Small Key in, which makes me think that this might be a good idea for an image, because it's a Boss Key. I'll work on the template in my over-large sandbox. 17:43, 22 December 2012 (UTC)
 * We already have Template:Semi which is an image of a small key to denote pages with autoconfirm protection...so I wouldn't be opposed to a Big Key to denote admin-level protection. I think I'll go ahead and do this. 18:15, 22 December 2012 (UTC)

Not being used on all protected pages
Why isn't this template used on all protected pages? It's not on Vilia, for example. rjd1922 (talk) 18:26, 9 May 2019 (UTC)
