Reason: This template is used in system message (those in the namespace “MediaWiki:”) and on almost 4 million pages (≈6% of all pages) at the time of writing, so why allow those who aren’t administrators to edit a system message, even those who are template editors? 2600 etc (talk) 13:06, 11 August 2026 (UTC)
Question: @2600 etc: Have you discussed this with Jo-Jo Eumerus, the admin who reduced the protection level from full to template protection? Epicgenius (talk) 13:51, 11 August 2026 (UTC)
- I have now. 2600 etc (talk) 10:18, 12 August 2026 (UTC)
- This is a long way ago, so that I don't remember why ... but if it's that widely used it might be worth full protection. I don't remember that use in MediaWiki namespace is an absolute bar to template protection, though. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 13:31, 12 August 2026 (UTC)
