How to determine the level of a protected page?

Latest comment: 1 month ago5 comments3 people in discussion

This template has a “level” parameter. How do I determine the level of of a protected page? ChadCloman (talk) 16:57, 11 July 2025 (UTC)Reply

On every page, there is a "Tools" drop-down menu. From there you can go to the "Page information" option. Scroll down, and you will find a Page protection section mentioning the current protection level. —CX Zoom[he/him] ^{(let's talk • {C•X})} 20:48, 11 July 2025 (UTC)Reply

Thanks! ChadCloman (talk) 01:01, 13 July 2025 (UTC)Reply

@ChadCloman: I'm puzzled by your question: Template:Edit fully-protected does not have a |level= parameter, and as far as I know, never has had one. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 14:43, 12 July 2025 (UTC)Reply

Oh. I see the issue. When I tap on the “talk“ link for Template:Edit protected, it takes me to Template talk:Edit fully-protected. ChadCloman (talk) 00:54, 13 July 2025 (UTC)Reply
