Editing Template:Protected page text/doc (section)

== Parameters ==

* {{para|image}} – The shackle image used in the top message box. Defaults to {{pval|Full-protection-shackle.svg}}.
* {{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.
* {{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).
* {{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.
* {{para|log-text}} – Optional text to use instead of the protection log explanation in the "Why is the page protected?" heading.
* {{para|login-message}} – If this parameter is set with any text, the template displays a message about logging in and becoming [[WP:AUTOCONFIRMED|autoconfirmed]].
* {{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]].
* {{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.
* {{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.
* {{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.
* {{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).
