Template:Check file on delete

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This is the {{check file on delete}} template.

This template is normally only used by the system, it is called from MediaWiki:Confirmdeletetext and MediaWiki:Filedelete-intro. It displays a warning message when an admin tries to delete a protected file or a known high-risk file.

This template detects all four kinds of protection: edit, move, create and upload protection. It warns even if it is only semi-protection. It then displays a message as seen above this documentation box.

This template also checks against a list of images used in system messages and a list of the most widely used images. If a match is found it displays this message:

If the file is not protected at all and is not a known high-risk image then this template produces no output.
