For convenience, there are seven subtemplates already filled out with the settings for semi-protection, extended-confirmed protection, template protection, full protection, cascade protection, user JSON page protection, and user script protection: {{Protected page text/semi}}, {{Protected page text/extendedconfirmed}}, {{Protected page text/template}}, {{Protected page text/full}}, {{Protected page text/cascade}}, {{Protected page text/user-json}} and {{Protected page text/interface}}.
