- Great job with this, but I do have a concern. If we tranclude it, as you request, then there will be an unprotected interface page, which is generally not a good idea, as it could be vulnerable to abuse. I'll leave the request for another administrators opinion though. - Rjd0060 (talk) 05:13, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
- I'm probably missing something very clear, but can't we just protect the source? PeterSymonds (talk) 14:58, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
- I think that defeats the purpose. I assume they wanted it to be editable, otherwise they would have just said to replace the page with the content on the other page. I could be wrong. - Rjd0060 (talk) 16:15, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
- There are a number of such subpage of Wikipedia:Upload (see Wikipedia_talk:Upload for the full list). They all are transcluded to appropriate subpages of MediaWiki:Uploadtext. For instance, Wikipedia:Upload/Uploadtext/en-ownwork is transcluded to MediaWiki:Uploadtext/en-ownwork. All subpages in the WP space are only semi-protected. So I see no problem with protection.
- However I have another problem—language. This is the English Wiki after all! What is the purpose of creating a page in Finish? If you want such a option on Commons, you should ask there. Ruslik (talk) 18:37, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Done I've given this some thought and decided to transclude it, per the examples of precedent given above for other (more visible) MediaWiki pages. The source should remain semi-protected. PeterSymonds (talk) 17:07, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
