This template makes use of {{Autotranslate}} and the translate extension.

Translate this template now!

Administrate translations.

Only the text is switched out based on the user's interface, not the whole template (like with {{Autotranslate}}) to avoid unnecessary complexity. Keep in mind this is still a work in progress and new text fields may be added in the future.

Examples

The message box does not appear on semi-protected pages or upload-only protected files. An icon still appears in the top-right corner.

Fully Protected

{{protected}} →

This template has been protected from editing to prevent vandalism.
Please discuss changes on the talk page or request unprotection.
{{protected|I said so}} →

Please discuss changes on the talk page or request unprotection.
{{protected|note=And you can change this too.}} →

This template has been protected from editing to prevent vandalism.
And you can change this too.
