Template talk:Protected page text

Proposed tweaks to multi-column layout
This message is always shown in two columns on desktop devices (minimum 720px screen width), but sometimes it can be displayed in a fairly narrow space even on wide screens (for example: visit visual editor on a protected page or new topic tool on a protected page while logged out).

I'd like to propose some tweaks, so that it will be shown in a single column in those cases: User:Matma Rex/Template:Protected page text/styles.css (diff).

 * ✅ this has been loaded, my initial tests seem fine across several skins.  If anyone sees anything causing major breakages please revert and note the issue here for follow up. —  xaosflux  Talk 14:43, 22 July 2022 (UTC)
 * @Xaosflux It looks like you lost the last part of the code when copying, starting from . This effectively removes the multi-column layout. I'd be okay with that, but I don't think it was intentional? Matma Rex talk 14:53, 22 July 2022 (UTC)
 * @Matma Rex resynced, not sure where that went, thanks for the note. — xaosflux  Talk 15:20, 22 July 2022 (UTC)

Protected edit request on 12 October 2022
Please implement my changes in the sandbox. The reason for this is that the message MediaWiki:Titleprotected does not show up if the page does not exist anymore (see T312317). This workaround will make sure that an editor visiting a protected page will always know why they cannot create the page. Same information from titleprotected but more, just phrased differently.

I also mention "please save the text temporarily to your device" from the title blacklist forbidden page as pages might be protected suddenly while an editor is working on it. I believe these changes to be non-controversial because it largely replaces functionality for MediaWiki:Titleprotected as that message is not working as it is supposed to.

 * ✅ though this seems to be getting overly complicated. — xaosflux  Talk 14:34, 29 December 2022 (UTC)

I would suggest removing the user page link and prefix to show as "This user CSS page/user script is currently protected so that only and interface administrators can  it" to maintain consistency with Template:Protected page text/user-json, or remove the unnecessary User: prefix while keeping the userpage link. And please see my request in wikitext so that you do not add Protected page text instead of the user's CSS/JS page.

Please implement my changes in the sandbox. This adds a parameter to specify the message for where page protection should be dropped, as well as adds a "title" parameter so a title can be manually specified. Awesome Aasim 17:57, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
 * What's the use case for either of these? * Pppery * it has begun... 18:16, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Please see my work in Template:Protected page text/blacklist/sandbox. Here, the parameter would be used to tell users that they can request the title be whitelisted or removed from the blacklist. Awesome Aasim 22:22, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
 * ✅ I'm note sure whether I agree reworking the blacklist message in that way is a good idea, but this change by itself is harmless. * Pppery * it has begun... 23:42, 10 November 2023 (UTC)

Change "Wikipedia:Transclucion" to "Help:Transclusion" in the piped wikilink. Why: Obviously the former is a redirect that is vandalised due to the resulting redirection to the latter title. Toadette (Happy holiday!) 19:16, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
 * I just protected the redirect itself. It's only used in one interface page, so that'd be easy to change, but it's in a ton of articles because of template transclusion.  It's barely being vandalized; were it a typical page at RFPP, I'd decline, but I think it's justified here.  (FWIW, Link to the move discussion) ~ Amory  (u • t • c) 23:29, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
