Template:Citation needed

I wish to categorize this template. Why was it even protected in the first place? __meco (talk) 17:21, 25 November 2015 (UTC)

Done 11-25-15

Two reasons

  1. This template is used on multiple pages and is high risk for vandalism.
  2. 99 percent of new BoyWiki users don't have your expirance (or any expirance) editing and I don't want to spend all my time fixing fucked up templates.

Well, then you had better up my permissions real quick. I'm getting tired of working inside a straightjacket. __meco (talk) 17:52, 25 November 2015 (UTC)
Unfortunately there is only one mid-range permission I can upgrade you to and that is "Uploader" all others require consent from Bron and the BoyWiki council and Bron is currently on holiday. --Etenne (talk) 18:13, 25 November 2015 (UTC)
In any case, we need to sort out the protection policy on this wiki. It isn't very well thought through, I can tell. And that hampers business. __meco (talk) 15:16, 28 November 2015 (UTC)
