Category talk:Protection templates

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Cfm

See the Cfd page for my proposal to merge the more specific "article header templates" category into this new category. -- Omniplex 03:29, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Protected?

Should Category:Protected be removed, or is this category supposed to be protected, but isn't? --–Xoid 09:09, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

You mean this is a sub-category of Category:Protected, and should therefore either be a protected category, or contain protection templates which have been protected. I was thinking the latter just the other day. This is the only sub-category of Category:Protected whose contents aren't (necessarily) protected. However, there does not appear to be a better parent category for it at this time. -- zzuuzz ^(talk) 15:54, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Confusing, isn't it? I personally think that the category should just be removed; this category is about templates to be used on protected pages, not about protected protection templates. That is, however, only my best guess. –Xoid 07:03, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Yes I agree. This category is already a sub-category of Category:Wikipedia maintenance templates, and though it should be heavily linked from the protected pages categories, it doesn't really belong there. I suppose there should probably be a Category:Wikipedia protection for things like this. -- zzuuzz ^(talk) 13:30, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
