Protection detection: it's three now
Line 10:
:::The bot can accurately detect the protection level, so perhaps the best solution is to remerge the categories and leave the bot to update the two tables. Then editors will be able to use {{tl|editprotected}} on both types, without having to worry about using the correct template. &mdash;&nbsp;Martin <small>([[User:MSGJ|MSGJ]]&nbsp;·&nbsp;[[User talk:MSGJ|talk]])</small> 10:51, 28 November 2013 (UTC)
::::It's three tables now. Besides the long-established [[User:AnomieBOT/PERTable]] and [[User:AnomieBOT/SPERTable]], [[User:AnomieBOT/TPERTable]] was set up a few days ago. --[[User:Redrose64|<span style="color:#a80000; background:#ffeeee; text-decoration:inherit">Red</span>rose64]] ([[User talk:Redrose64|talk]]) 11:37, 28 November 2013 (UTC)
:::::Yes, it was actually the PER and TPER tables that I was referring to (although it could apply to SPER as well.) I'm not seeing any advantages in having separate templates and separate categories for full- and template-protected pages. And in fact there are disadvantages because editors now have to choose between more templates and reviewers have to monitor more categories. So my proposal is to let the bot maintain the three tables but use a common template. &mdash;&nbsp;Martin <small>([[User:MSGJ|MSGJ]]&nbsp;·&nbsp;[[User talk:MSGJ|talk]])</small> 12:52, 28 November 2013 (UTC)
