This template is used to indicate a page is protected under extended confirmed protection, restricting editing to users in the extended confirmed user group.
Usage
- Use
{{extended confirmed–protected}}for the normal template - Use
{{extended confirmed–protected|small=yes}}for just an icon at the top
Note adding this form of protection is only for pages that qualify under the extended confirmed section of the protection policy. Simply placing this template on a page will not make it protected.
Instructions
- Change the protection level of the article to "Allow only extended confirmed users". For ArbCom-enforced topics, the duration should be indefinite. The consensus for community use recommends temporary usage only.
- Add
{{Extended confirmed–protected|small=yes}}to the article. - Remove any instances of {{pp}} templates from the page, as the blue padlock icon generated by this template will suffice.
A full-size protection banner, as offered by other protection templates, is not currently supported. Other parameters such as |expiry= do not apply to this type of protection.
