Template:Wikipedia page protection category


This is actually a userbox, and has three problems: its name is highly misleading; the text misleadingly claims that the user page is semi-protected; and the box redirects the username to the article English language. The creator is a relatively new user who may have misunderstood semi-protection, so let's AGF. I have messaged the user to advise. --Stfg (talk) 12:35, 20 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete as it stands, but no objection to renaming to standard UBX naming and fixing its links if the creator can explain the actual intent/use-case. DMacks (talk) 17:06, 20 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete as the functionality of the page is already provided by pp-semi-usertalk. davidwr/ (talk)/(contribs)  17:30, 20 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment The page also has another fatal flaw: It is for just this user.  davidwr/  (talk)/(contribs)  17:16, 20 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment I would not oppose a community-wide standard UBX naming and style per DMacks, but only for use on pages that are actually protected in some fashion. After the end of October when I have some time, I might even design such a page if a user with a semi- or otherwise-protected page asked me to.  Before supporting such a template, I would either require such a template to say something else or be invisible if used on a non-protected page or have an understanding that any editor could remove it on sight from any non-protected user page where its use implied the page was protected, without being labeled disruptive or otherwise called on the carpet about it.  davidwr/  (talk)/(contribs)  17:16, 20 October 2013 (UTC)
