The reason for this is that if the pages are individually protected, it becomes excessively difficult to unprotect the sub-pages, because not only would the sub-pages have to be unprotected, but the page itself would have to be unprotected. Now, that doesn't seem to hard, but then when you're talking about making one minor change throughout each sub-page, then it's a lot of extra work. If my proposal were passed - the only page that would need to be unprotected is the first, over-arching page. So I'm saying that if a template sub-page is set up to be protected by cascading, then it shouldn't be protected individually.--<small>[[User:Iduan|<span style="color: #FFCCCC; background: #660000">I]][[User_talk:Iduan|<span style="color:#CCCCFF; background:#000033">Duan]]</span></span></small> 17:51, 21 March 2009 (EDT)

:Note- this is in no way proposing that templates shouldn't be protected. The pages that I'm speaking of are already protected - just by cascading. For example, with a non-administrator account, try to edit [[Template:Officeholder/Supreme_Court_Justice]]. You'll be able to click "edit", but then a message will appear saying that the page can't be edited because it appears on Template:Officeholder, which is protected with cascading turned on (and the edit screen will be frozen).--<small>[[User:Iduan|<span style="color: #FFCCCC; background: #660000">I]][[User_talk:Iduan|<span style="color:#CCCCFF; background:#000033">Duan]]</span></span></small> 20:21, 21 March 2009 (EDT)
