Since this function is the one that leads to more questions and complaints, I have written a FAQ about it. </p><p><br> Q1: Why did you unprotect page X? </p><p>A1: I didn't; the bot is not an <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrator" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:Administrator">administrator</a>, so it cannot protect or unprotect pages; </p><p><br> Q2: But the history says "removing a protection template etc."! </p><p>A2: A protection template is a colored box or a small lock image at the top of the article; it does not by itself make the page protected; protection and unprotection is done via a <a href="/wiki/Special:ProtectPage" title="Special:ProtectPage">form</a> that looks like <a href="/wiki/File:Page_protection.png" title="File:Page protection.png">this</a>, and the edit summary looks like <i>(Unprotected Wikipedia:New admin school/Protecting/Protect: NAS unprotect test)</i>. </p><p><br> Q3: Who did unprotect the page, then? </p><p>A3: Most likely, the page had an expiring protection (see the "expire" field in the form above), and the expiration date has passed; it could also be that an administrator unprotected the page but they forgot to remove the tag; </p><p><br> Q4: How can I have the page protected again? </p><p>A4: See <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_page_protection" title="Wikipedia:Requests for page protection">Wikipedia:Requests for page protection</a>; note, however, that pages are generally <i>not</i> protected just because they get a couple of vandal edits; see <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Protection_policy" title="Wikipedia:Protection policy">Wikipedia:Protection policy</a> for details; </p><p><br> Q5: I know the page is unprotected, but I want the protection template back on it! </p><p>A5: While there is no specific policy against that, I believe this is generally considered wrong unless there is a good reason for doing that; anyway, if there is some reason for doing that, you can do it by yourself (as the page is unprotected and can therefore be edited); add <nowiki></nowiki> after the template, on the same line, and the bot won't remove the template again; some other editor, possibly me, may remove it nevertheless </p><p><br> Q6: I am one other editor who wants to remove such a template nevertheless; is there a list of pages where the bot didn't remove a template because of tags <nowiki></nowiki> on the same line? </p><p>A6: Sure: <a href="/wiki/User:DumbBOT/NotRemoved" title="User:DumbBOT/NotRemoved">User:DumbBOT/NotRemoved</a>; note that sometimes there is a reason for a protection template being included in a non-protected page, such as showing how the template looks. </p> </section><div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 section-heading" onclick="mfTempOpenSection(3)"><span class="indicator mf-icon mf-icon-expand mf-icon--small"></span><h2 id="Bot_internals">Bot internals</h2><span class="mw-editsection"> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=User:DumbBOT&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Bot internals" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> <span class="minerva-icon minerva-icon--edit"></span> <span>edit</span> </a> </span> </div><section class="mf-section-3 collapsible-block" id="mf-section-3"> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Rolling-Square.gif" class="mw-file-description"><noscript><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e5/Rolling-Square.gif/220px-Rolling-Square.gif" decoding="async" width="220" height="72" class="mw-file-element" data-file-width="789" data-file-height="258"></noscript><span class="lazy-image-placeholder" style="width: 220px;height: 72px;" data-src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e5/Rolling-Square.gif/220px-Rolling-Square.gif" data-width="220" data-height="72" data-srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e5/Rolling-Square.gif/330px-Rolling-Square.gif 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e5/Rolling-Square.gif/440px-Rolling-Square.gif 2x" data-class="mw-file-element"> </span></a><figcaption>This bot employs square wheels</figcaption></figure> <ol><li><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:PROD" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:PROD">WP:PROD</a> daily categories are created for the days from yesterday for four days.
