Description

Description

There are two aspects to this currently open for discussion:

Should editors manually add templates to protected pages, or should MediaWiki core automatically add some sort of indicators to protected pages? (T12347)
How obvious/explicit/prominent should the indicators that communicate protection status be? (T278836)
