ProtectionBot appears to have stopped operating! Please take steps to ensure Main Page and featured article images and templates remain protected.

This user account is a bot operated by Dragons flight (talk). It is used to make repetitive automated or semi-automated edits that would be extremely tedious to do manually, in accordance with the bot policy. This bot does not yet have the approval of the community, or approval has been withdrawn or expired, and therefore shouldn't be making edits that appear to be unassisted except in the operator's or its own user and user talk space. Administrators: if this bot is making edits that appear to be unassisted to pages not in the operator's or its own userspace, please block it.

ProtectionBot is a automated program designed by User:Dragons flight to protect templates and images appearing on the Main Page and today's featured article. It does this by reading Main Page, Main Page/Tomorrow, Template:Did you know/Next update, today's featured article, tomorrow's featured article and generating a list of all images and templates used therein. It then ensures these are protected and makes an internal list so that they can be unprotected when they no longer appear on one of the high profile pages.
