This category is not shown on its member pages, unless the appropriate user preference is set.

This category contains templates which have been fully protected. This is usually done to prevent vandalism to templates that are used on a large number of pages, or on very visible pages such as the Main Page (so-called "high-risk templates"), 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-template}} 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 articles that transclude the template shouldn't get added to this category as well.
