Wikipedia:Main Page/Commons media protection/Documentation

Administrator instructions
To trigger cascading protection of a Commons media file:
 * 1) Add its name to the list below.  Use the following format: File:Example.jpg | Description
 * 2) Protection will not take effect instantly. This typically occurs within minutes, but it could take longer.
 * 3) Only transclude a file on the main page when KrinkleBot has transcluded it at Commons:Auto-protected files/wikipedia/en.
 * 4) Do not remove the previous file from the list when adding a new image.  Keeping it in the list ensures that it remains protected and ready to reuse if its replacement is removed from the main page.
 * 5) If you add a file, please consider removing it when it no longer needs protection
