Template:Check file on delete/doc
 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Check file on delete (see that page for the template itself). It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
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:
| Warning! This file is used in a system message or is one of the most widely used images on the Festipedia. Such high-risk images should be locally uploaded and protected here. Don't delete this image, not even if it has a backup copy on Commons. Unfortunately this file is currently not protected. |
If the file is not protected at all and is not a known high-risk image then this template produces no output.
