This template displays the text that users see when they do not have permission to edit a page. This template was created to encourage reuse of code in the MediaWiki messages that display said errors.<br />
<br />
For convenience, there are seven subtemplates already filled out with the settings for semi-protection, extended-confirmed protection, template protection, full protection, cascade protection, user JSON page protection, and user script protection: {{tl|Protected page text/semi}}, {{tl|Protected page text/extendedconfirmed}}, {{tl|Protected page text/template}}, {{tl|Protected page text/full}}, {{tl|Protected page text/cascade}}, {{tl|Protected page text/user-json}} and {{tl|Protected page text/interface}}. It is recommended that you use these subtemplates, as this will allow you to benefit from future updates to the templates.<br />

| image = <br />
| protection-message = <br />
| suggestions = <br />

<br />
== Parameters ==<br />
<br />
* {{para|image}} – The shackle image used in the top message box. Defaults to {{pval|Full-protection-shackle.svg}}.<br />
* {{para|protection-message}} – The message inside the top message box. This should explain that the page is protected, and who can edit it. This parameter is required.<br />
* {{para|suggestions}} – If this parameter is set with any text, the template shows the "Why is the page protected?" and "What can I do?" headings with a list of suggestions on what actions editors can take upon discovering that they can't edit the page. This parameter can be used with the [[mw:Help:Extension:ParserFunctions##ifexist|#ifexist parser function]] to display the suggestions only on existing pages (i.e. to disable them on [[WP:SALT|create-protected]] pages).<br />
* {{para|protection-reason}} – The general reasons why pages of a given protection level might be protected. This is the first bullet point under the "Why is the page protected?" heading. This parameter is required.<br />
* {{para|log-text}} – Optional text to use instead of the protection log explanation in the "Why is the page protected?" heading.<br />
* {{para|login-message}} – If this parameter is set with any text, the template displays a message about logging in and becoming [[WP:AUTOCONFIRMED|autoconfirmed]].<br />
* {{para|main-page-links}} – If this parameter is set with any text, and the current page is the [[Main Page]], the template displays advice for new editors and a link to [[Wikipedia:Main Page/Errors]].<br />
* {{para|template-links}} – If this parameter is set with any text, and the current page is in the [[Wikipedia:Template namespace|template namespace]], the template will display links to the documentation and the template sandbox if they exist.<br />
* {{para|who-can-edit}} – The users that can edit pages protected at this level. This should start with a capital letter and include a grammatical article, e.g. <code><nowiki>An [[Wikipedia:Administrator|administrator]]</nowiki></code>. This parameter is required.<br />
* {{para|request-type}} – The value to send to the {{para|type}} parameter of [[Template:Submit an edit request]]. Possible values are {{pval|semi}}, {{pval|template}} and {{pval|full}}. This parameter is required.<br />
* {{para|hide-requestlower}} – If this parameter is set with any text, the template will hide the message about requesting lowering of protection at [[WP:RFPP]]. This is unlikely to be used except for pages subject to [[WP:Cascade-protection|cascade-protection]] and which will have it indefinitely (requests to lower the protection on that particular page must necessarily be declined).<br />
<br />
== Example ==<br />
<br />
The following example uses the code for full protection.<br />
<br />
=== Code ===<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><br />
{{protected page text<br />
| protection-message = This page is currently [[Wikipedia:Protection policy#Full protection|protected]] so that only [[Wikipedia:Administrators|administrators]] can edit it.<br />
| suggestions = {{#ifexist: {{FULLPAGENAME}} | yes}}<br />
| protection-reason = Some [[Wikipedia:Template messages|templates]] and site interface pages are permanently [[Wikipedia:Protection policy#Full protection|protected]] due to visibility. Occasionally, articles are temporarily protected because of [[Wikipedia:Edit war|editing disputes]]. Most articles can be edited by anyone.<br />
| main-page-links = yes<br />
| template-links = yes<br />
| who-can-edit = An [[Wikipedia:Administrators|administrator]]<br />
| request-type = full<br />
}}<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
=== Result ===<br />
<br />
{{protected page text<br />
| protection-message = This page is currently [[Wikipedia:Protection policy#Full protection|protected]] so that only [[Wikipedia:Administrators|administrators]] can edit it.<br />
| suggestions = {{#ifexist: {{FULLPAGENAME}} | yes}}<br />
