This is ahidden category. It is not shown on its member pages, unless the correspondinguser preference (Appearance → Show hidden categories) is set.
This category containstemplates which have beensemi-protected. This is usually done in response tovandalism or other unconstructive editing, or when the template is widely used, meaning that such vandalism is very noticeable – so-called "high-risk" templates. Semi-protection prevents a page being edited byanonymous or newly registered users; more vulnerable templates may betemplate protected orfully protected, which prevents them being edited except byadministrators andtemplate editors.To add a template to this category, use{{Pp-template}}. This should only be done if the template is in fact semi-protected – adding the template does not in itself protect the page.
