If a template or module relates to a <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Biography_of_living_persons" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:Biography of living persons">biography of a living person</a>, that would strengthen any arguments in favor of its preemptive protection. </p><p>Note that <a href="/wiki/User:MusikBot_II" title="User:MusikBot II">a bot</a> <a href="/wiki/User:MusikBot_II/TemplateProtector" title="User:MusikBot II/TemplateProtector">automatically</a>: </p> <ul><li>template-protects pages with over 5,000 transclusions,</li> <li>extended-confirmed protects pages with over 2,500 transclusions, and</li> <li>semi-protects pages with over 250 transclusions.</li></ul> <p>A <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)/Archive_145#A_proposal_to_permanently_semi-protect_the_Template_space" title="Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)/Archive 145">2018 RfC</a> identified rough consensus to permanently semiprotect templates with at least around 200–250 transclusions, and <a href="/wiki/Special:Diff/1042239556#Should_we_use_ECP_on_templates?" title="Special:Diff/1042239556">a 2021 RfC</a> identified a rough consensus to permanently extended-confirmed protect templates with roughly 2500 to 5000 transclusions. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Rationale" data-mw-thread-id="h-Rationale"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Rationale"></span>Rationale<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Rationale"></span></h2></div> <p>The main reasons for restricting access to high-risk templates are: </p> <ul><li>To prevent vandalism</li> <li>To prevent high server load from unnecessary extra edits to highly transcluded templates</li> <li>To reduce chances of accidental breakage by inexperienced template editors</li></ul> <p>For templates and modules that are widely used, the damage caused by bad faith or incorrect edits is uniquely high. The fact that numerous readers would see an edit to these pages provides an incentive to vandalize them and also magnifies the damage done by such an act. There have also been cases where well-meaning editors introduced an error to a template that broke millions of pages. </p><p>Although template vandalism is usually reverted quickly (often within one minute), the technical aspects of templates create a greater potential for damage than other kinds of vandalism. For templates that are used across hundreds or thousands of articles, any vandalism, no matter how short, could be seen by many readers across the entire encyclopedia. To prevent <a href="/wiki/Denial-of-service_attack#Application_layer_attacks" title="Denial-of-service attack">denial of service attacks</a>, pages are cached and template changes are slowly rolled out across the entire encyclopedia. In some cases, pages may have their caches updated before the vandalism is reverted, and these may stick around for a long time even after the vandalism is fixed. This problem scales with the number of transclusions as the time for changes to roll out increases as the number of pages needing updates increases. Some templates like user warnings are substituted instead of transcluded, and when used the source code of the template is inserted directly onto the page. Because these uses do not update when template vandalism is reverted, disruption on substituted templates will stick around until someone finds the use and fixes it manually—making this kind of vandalism harder to clean up. </p><p>In all cases, page protection minimizes the risk posed by bad faith or technically deficient edits to templates (see <a href="/wiki/Principle_of_least_privilege" title="Principle of least privilege">principle of least privilege</a>). In contrast to our usual <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:NOPREEMPT" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:NOPREEMPT">policy prohibiting preemptive protection</a>, administrators are given wide latitude to use page protection in order to minimize the unique risks posed by the technical aspects of templates. The technical knowledge required to carry out these attacks is non-trivial, and experience has shown that vandalism to templates is often performed by long-term abusive editors and sleeper accounts. For templates which carry high risk but require frequent maintenance from the general editorial community, lower protection levels such as semi-protection or extended-confirmed protection may be used. For templates that are stable, part of our critical technical infrastructure, or used across thousands of pages, administrators should consider full protection or template protection to enforce <a href="/wiki/Code_review" title="Code review">code review</a> through edit requests which helps prevent accidental bugs and deliberate attacks. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="The_correct_way_to_edit_high-risk_templates" data-mw-thread-id="h-The_correct_way_to_edit_high-risk_templates"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-The_correct_way_to_edit_high-risk_templates"></span>The correct way to edit high-risk templates<span data-mw-comment-end="h-The_correct_way_to_edit_high-risk_templates"></span></h2></div> <ul><li>It is good practice to make edits on the template's /sandbox page rather than directly to the high-risk template.</li> <li>If needed, get consensus for your changes on the template's talk page.</li> <li>Test your new /sandbox code and make sure it is bug-free.
