Wikimedia Commons has media related to Protected files.
![]() | This is a maintenance category, used for maintenance of the Wikipedia project. It is not part of the encyclopedia and contains non-article pages, or groups articles by status rather than subject. Do not include this category in content categories. |
Description:
This category contains files which have been fully or semi-protected. This is usually done to prevent vandalism to images that are used on a large number of pages, or on very visible pages such as the Main Page, as vandalism to such templates would be very noticeable. Full protection prevents a page from being edited except by administrators.
To add a template to this category, add {{Pp}}
to the template. This should only be done if the page is in fact protected – adding the template does not in itself protect the page. Be careful to place this inside <noinclude>...</noinclude>
tags, so that pages using the template don't get added to this category.
![]() | This category is not shown on its member pages unless the appropriate user preference (appearance → show hidden categories) is set. |
