Template:Pp/doc

This is a general template for producing protection banners and padlock icons. It can be used with any protection reason, any protection action, and any protection level.

Usage
&#123;{pp | 1       = reason | small   = yes/no | action  = action | expiry  = expiry | date    = protection date | user    = username | section = talk page section name | category = no }&#125;

Parameters
All parameters are optional.


 * 1 - the reason that the page was protected. If set, this must be one of the values listed in the reasons table.
 * small - if set to "yes", "y", "1", or "true", a padlock icon is generated instead of a full protection banner.
 * action - the protection action. Must be one of "edit" (for normal protection), "move" (for move-protection) or "autoreview" (for pending changes). The default value is "edit".
 * expiry - the expiry date of the protection. This can be a date (for temporary protection), or one of the strings "indef", "indefinite", "indefinitely", or "infinite" (for indefinite protection). If this is a date, it must be valid input to the second parameter of the #time parser function.
 * date - the protection date. This must be valid input to the second parameter of the #time parser function. This argument only has an effect for the "office" and "reset" reasons.
 * user - the username of the user to generate links for. As of July 2014, this only has an effect when the "usertalk" reason is specified.
 * section - the section name of the protected page's talk page where discussion is taking place. This works for most, but not all, values of reason.
 * category - categories are suppressed if this is set to "no", "n", "0", or "false".
