[edit] Semi-protected templates
Please do not list semi-protected templates here (per WP:BEANS). After all, they are protected for a purpose. I do not assume you want to give a handy list for template vandals, do you? I generally do not see the value of listing protected templates. After all, the system itself knows which template is protected and which not. Rather useless to repeat that here (manually or with bots). If you really feel urged to list templates here, at least refrain from listing semi-protected templates please. --Ligulem 14:35, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
- I've removed them. --Ligulem 08:42, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Readded subsections
I've reverted Voice Of All and readded the subsections of "Other pages" [1]. I believe this actually does make maintenance easier. This page is meant to be read by humans, isn't it? --Ligulem 23:18, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
- First of all, it breaks the bot and so regardless of its merits would need to be agreed and the parsing added to the bot beforehand; in the interim, now they aren't in chronological order, which is the order in which they are checked whether they should be unprotected; please fix them. Now, this change is extra maintenance and there is no need to organize these because permanently/indefinitely protected pages are moved elsewhere, not re-ordered on this page. This page is for temporarily protected pages or as a holding area for pages that are then listed elsewhere. This is a special example of why reverting without discussion, or alternatively understanding, is bad. —Centrx→talk • 23:42, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

- I only removed semi-protected templates. These should not be listed. See also the section above and Wikipedia:Semi-protection policy. If you want to reremove the section titles, please do so. I believe these section titles do make maintenance of this page easier. Since you seem to agree with VoA, that's it then. BTW, how should this page here be used? Simply listing pages in random order seems not of much interest to me. This page here looks rather as if it is largely ignored. --Ligulem 23:58, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

Pages are listed in chronological order and added and removed by the bot based on the protection log. The oldest pages, listed at the top, are checked regularly and unprotected if appropriate. Indefinitely protected pages, such as maintenance templates, are listed at Wikipedia:List of indefinitely protected pages. Long-term semi-protected pages were before listed here, but have now been moved to Wikipedia:List of protected pages/Long-term protection. —Centrx→talk • 00:13, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Bug 2171: Adding a special page for protected pages
I asked on wikitech-l about having a special page for this here and was directed to bugzilla:2171. Rotem Liss submitted a patch today (jay!). See his posting on bugzilla:2171. --Ligulem 18:30, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Automated listing
So there's now a bot that automatically lists and de-lists entries? We don'tneed to manually edit the list anymore? That's great! -Will Beback · † · 23:15, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Multiple listing
Someone listed Image:Portal.svg twice, for the same reason, at the same time, with one entry seperating them. 68.39.174.238 19:08, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
- Nevermind, it's some bot that gets stuck in a loop, evidently. 68.39.174.238 19:10, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
