Category:Protected pages associated with Main Page articles

This is a maintenance category, used for maintenance of the Wikipedia project. It is not part of the encyclopedia and contains non-article pages, or groups articles by status rather than subject. Do not include this category in content categories. This is a hidden category. It is not shown on its member pages, unless the corresponding user preference (Appearance → Show hidden categories) is set.

This category contains images and templates that are protected because they are or will soon be in articles linked from the Main Page. Unlike templates and images directly on the Main Page, templates and images in articles linked from the Main Page are only sometimes protected, as deemed necessary.

Instructions for administrators

The {{mprotected2}} template should be applied to images and templates on the English Wikipedia.
