This template will not be visible on pages that are not protected. Only administrators can protect pages.

  • Use {{pp-protected}} for the normal template
  • Use {{pp-protected|reason=text}} for applying a specific reason
  • Use {{pp-protected|expiry=December 17, 2024}} for a specific expiration date
  • Use {{pp-protected|small=yes}} for just an icon at the top

Depending on the namespace, this template will categorize pages into Category:Wikipedia protected pages, Category:Protected project pages, Category:Protected images, Category:Wikipedia protected templates, Category:Protected talk pages and Category:Wikipedia protected user and user talk pages. When the protection is expired, it will additionally categorize into Category:Wikipedia pages with incorrect protection templates.
