Wikipedia talk:Protection policy/Padlocks

Suggested refinement:[edit]

The following padlocks indicate protection levels:

Brass (FULL)
Pink (TEMPLATE)
Silver (SEMI)
Skyblue (SALT)
Olive (MOVE)
Purple (UPLOAD)
Silver (light) (PC L1)
Orange (PC L2)
Red (INDEF)

But the following indicates the source of the protection, not the level.

Black (OFFICE)

I suggest that we create a new set of padlocks with the existing protection levels and a diagonal black band to indicate that a page was protected under an Office action while still indicating the actual protection level. An alternative would be a diagonal dividing line with the upper triangle indicating protection level and the lower indicating an Office action. --Guy Macon (talk) 20:02, 7 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This page[edit]

I didn't know this subpage existed. Perhaps we should combine it with Template:Padlock list? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 09:53, 15 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It was created during the discussion over which padlock lock to use for template protected pages by looking at the available options vs what is in use. Template:Padlock list is more focused at just what are in use. There was also an attempt to create a category at Category:Padlock icons. PaleAqua (talk) 15:29, 16 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
