I've reverted Voice Of All and readded the subsections of "Other pages" [1]. I believe this actually does make maintenance easier. This page is meant to be read by humans, isn't it? -- Ligulem 23:18, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
Pages are listed in chronological order and added and removed by the bot based on the protection log. The oldest pages, listed at the top, are checked regularly and unprotected if appropriate. Indefinitely protected pages, such as maintenance templates, are listed at Wikipedia:List of indefinitely protected pages. Long-term semi-protected pages were before listed here, but have now been moved to Wikipedia:List of protected pages/Long-term protection. — Centrx→ talk • 00:13, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

I asked on wikitech-l about having a special page for this here and was directed to bugzilla:2171. Rotem Liss submitted a patch today (jay!). See his posting on bugzilla:2171. -- Ligulem 18:30, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
So there's now a bot that automatically lists and de-lists entries? We don't need to manually edit the list anymore? That's great! - Will Beback · † · 23:15, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
Someone listed Image:Portal.svg twice, for the same reason, at the same time, with one entry seperating them. 68.39.174.238 19:08, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
Is there any way that this page could be split up to make it easier to watch list/load? I'd like to help clear the backlog, but firefox crashes every time I open it. savid @ n 18:07, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
I'm not involved in an edit war that has shut down edits on the September 11, 2001 attacks page and just want to add more information about the news in Germany of a convicted co-conspirator, but the page has been locked for weeks. Why can't I just put the Protection Log on my watchlist so I can be notified of when its status has changed?-- Wowaconia 17:11, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
You can't just watch the page itself because Admins are in there cleaning up things unrelated to the edit war.-- Wowaconia 17:20, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
I'm not calling on the ability to watch the Page that is being blocked from editing, I'm calling on the ability to watch the page that logs its protection status. If you just watch the page that is protected you only get the last edit on your watchlist and have no idea if this means someone unlocked the page and a bunch of regular editors began working on it or if its still locked and an admin used their powers to get in there and clean up something unrelated to the edit war, so you have to go to the page everyday and see if its unlocked or not. This just adds to your annoyance that the edit war that your not involved in is still ongoing and you can't do anything about it. The
September 11, 2001 attacks has been locked down since Dec. 26, 2006 it would be far less frustrating if you could put
http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Special:Log&type=protect&page=September_11%2C_2001_attacks on your watchlist. Is there a way to do this and if not why?--

"Australia (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs). It's all vandalism -- Centrx, 08:24, January 10, 2007" and what is THAT supposed to mean exactly???

The instructions for protecting pages say to list the page here, and they also say that a bot will list the page. Which is it? The instructions are confusing. -- Samuel Wantman 06:35, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
Confusing instructions when you don't understand what to do clearly. This can lead to doing things that you weren't suppose to do. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:589:2:9A20:E94F:FB2B:AA80:64FF ( talk) 22:33, 24 August 2016 (UTC)
I've cleared out this page. In the future, it will scrap from protectedpages (using the new sort options), and simply add the log comments. No templates should be used, like "li" or "article". Voice-of-All 06:38, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
Special:Protectedpages has been updated, and now include many options for sorting and filtering the list, admins may be able to use this to help resolved improper or forgotten protections now. — xaosflux Talk 02:20, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
Wait, I'm a bit confused now. Is this page going to be used in the future? If not, I think it should be named "Lists of protected pages". I just trimmed it down with that in mind, but if I am wrong, then please revert. -- Iamunknown 22:25, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
I've added a script to add quick reason, age, and unprotect links to special:protectedpages here [2]. Voice-of-All 02:35, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
This page is fully protected and has been for a very long time. I do not see why it should continue to be so. May I please have the protection removed or reduced to Semi? Please tell me if I should bark up a different tree. Chubbles 06:51, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
Why does WP:PP redirect here? I think anyone who enters that is likely looking for Wikipedia:Protection policy. In fact, this page doesn't even have the initials of "PP"! At best, I think WP:LPP would be an appropriate redirect for this project. Thanks, Do U(knome)? yes... or no 00:55, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

Is there some way to compare protected talkpages with unprotected article pages to better understand whether the alleged reason for protection is accurate? 126.243.109.174 ( talk) 09:59, 13 April 2018 (UTC)
The automatic list of protected pages contains numerous entries with timestamp and user marked "unknown" and they have also no reason or expiration date. What are these and why do they show up like that? 85.76.40.94 ( talk) 21:24, 20 March 2014 (UTC)
A discussion is taking place to address the redirect
Protected page. The discussion will occur at
Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2020 November 23#Protected page until a consensus is reached, and readers of this page are welcome to contribute to the discussion.
