Also, taking a cue from the way you changed the font color for your signature, I was finally able to figure out the correct formatting to change the font color on [[United States Senate election in Maine, 2020|this page]], and I do appreciate all the help you offered [[Conservapedia:Community_Portal#Changing_font_colors...|here]]! —[[User:Liberaltears|Liberaltears]]<sup>'''''[[User:Liberaltears/mail|May Dataclarifier be well!]]'''''</sup> 23:29, 17 June 2020 (EDT)

:Hi Liberaltears,
:In regard to protect, that essentially correct. Any content which is given cascading protection and then included on another page, with carry that protection with it. So if Template:A is given cascading protection, then it is included on Template:B, PageA, and PageB, all three would inherit the same protection as Template:A. This can be problematic in many cases, so it is rarely used. The "Protect" privilege enables the option to add protection to a page, but only to a level which that user can still edit it. So I have the "protect" tag, but I do not have the "Administrator" tag. I can protect pages to the next level down (Autoconfirmed) and I can edit such protection as well. However, I cannot protect a page to the Administrator level, since I do not have that tag. I also cannot edit any page protected to that level, or change that protection.
:Oversight has never really worked for me. However, my understanding is that those with the "Oversight" tag can hide usernames and edits, but not restore them. I believe there is a way to restore this later, but I don't know who can do that. Perhaps only Andy is able. You might be able to learn more about it here: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Oversight]
:[https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Rollback Rollback] makes it a one-click operation to revert a series of unwanted edits to a page. It adds a link to the Recent Changes page, which can be clicked to revert all edits by that user to that page. You can do the same thing without it using the steps you described, this just makes it a little easier to do.
:I'm glad to hear you were able to get that font fixed, too! --[[User:DavidB4|<font color="ForestGreen">DavidB4</font>]] <sup>([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]])</sup> 23:51, 17 June 2020 (EDT)
