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)

- 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)
Declined My thoughts on this: template editors are actually more rare than admins...a little over 200 at the last count to almost 600 active admins. Also, template editors are often more savvy when it comes to template editing. Lastly: there was no disruption yet. Lectonar (talk) 06:58, 13 August 2026 (UTC)
