[edit] Documentation

This template is used on subpages of Wikipedia:Protected titles. It transcludes a nonexistent page that is to be protected from creation through the use of cascading protection. If the page exists, it must be deleted for the cascading protection to take effect; there is a "delete" link provided next to the article name in this case.

[edit] Usage

Parameters used by this template:

• pg (or first unnamed parameter) — Name of page to protect from creation. Do not include the namespace; use the ns parameter to specify that.
• reason (or second unnamed parameter) — Reason why page is protected (optional).
• ns — Namespace of page. Must be given if the page is not in article space.
• talk — Whether a link to the talk page should be given. The link will be provided unless talk=no is specified. Suppressing the link is useful if there is no realistic possibility that constructive discussion will occur (e.g. nonsense page titles) or if the talk page also is protected against creation.
• commons — When protecting against the creation of a local page under the title of an image that exists on the Commons, commons=yes must be appended for the image name/link to appear. Please note that the cascading protection does not extend to the Commons image.

Examples:

---

{{protected title|Red link}}
Red link · activity log · talk page
The above prevents red link from being created.

---

{{protected title|Like this one|talk=no}}
Like this one · activity log
The above prevents Like this one from being created. The link to the talk page is not displayed.

---

{{protected title|Starting a new page/wiki/Talk:Main Page/|Spambot target|ns=Help talk}}
Help talk:Starting a new page/wiki/Talk:Main Page/ · activity log — Spambot target
The above prevents Help talk:Starting a new page/wiki/Talk:Main Page/ from being created. As this is a talk page, a separate talk page link is automatically omitted.

[edit] Discussion

Could you make it so that the title of the page is not bolded as red links look bad when bolded. Betacommand ^{(talk • contribs • Bot)} 15:18, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

This template is protected, and should be tagged with {{protected template}}, or another suitable protection template. Thanks – Qxz 20:09, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Done. —David Levy 22:13, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
