Template:Protected page maintenance message
{{{1}}}
Template documentation | This template is used on many pages. To avoid large-scale disruption and unnecessary server load, any changes to this template should first be tested in its /sandbox or /testcases subpages or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can then be added to this page in one single edit. Please consider discussing any changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
This convenience template is used to allow for a switchable statement to be easily placed in the code of maintenance templates such as {{Expand section}} or {{Missing information}}. If a page is protected, any user who cannot edit the page will be given a link to make an edit request rather than the default text.
This template takes one mandatory input, an unnamed parameter that will be the unprotected/default text seen by editors. If there are =s in the parameter, use |1= to enter the text.
A second optional input will give custom text to display for the users who cannot edit. Defaults to making an edit request if |2= is not given
