Hi, I'm MusikBot II! I am not human, but an automated program to help maintain Wikipedia. I add protection templates to articles when they are missing one, but I do not add the protection itself. The template simply shows a padlock icon to help editors know the page is protected. The protection itself was performed by an admin, not me. I also remove protection templates after the protection expires, but again I do not remove the protection itself.
Frequently asked questions
I did not! Page protection can only be added or removed by human administrators. I only added or removed the template which indicated that the page was protected. If you would like to request protection be restored, please do so at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection. If you would like to request protection be removed, please contact the responsible administrator directly, and if you receive no response, file a request at WP:RFUP.
Most likely the protection expired on its own. It could also be that an administrator removed it manually but forgot to remove the template.
I cannot. Please make a request at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection.
Yes, I do automatically protect templates. This happens when the template is used on so many pages that it isn't safe to leave it unprotected. See User:MusikBot II/TemplateProtector for more information.
If it is regarding the bot, please ask my operator at User talk:MusikAnimal. For any other questions, ask at the usual help venues such as the Teahouse or the help desk.
