Great job with this, but I do have a concern. If we tranclude it, as you request, then there will be an unprotected interface page, which is generally not a good idea, as it could be vulnerable to abuse. I'll leave the request for another administrators opinion though. - Rjd0060 (talk) 05:13, 1 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm probably missing something very clear, but can't we just protect the source? PeterSymonds (talk) 14:58, 1 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think that defeats the purpose. I assume they wanted it to be editable, otherwise they would have just said to replace the page with the content on the other page. I could be wrong. - Rjd0060 (talk) 16:15, 1 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There are a number of such subpage of Wikipedia:Upload (see Wikipedia_talk:Upload for the full list). They all are transcluded to appropriate subpages of MediaWiki:Uploadtext. For instance, Wikipedia:Upload/Uploadtext/en-ownwork is transcluded to MediaWiki:Uploadtext/en-ownwork. All subpages in the WP space are only semi-protected. So I see no problem with protection.

However I have another problem—language. This is the English Wiki after all! What is the purpose of creating a page in Finish? If you want such a option on Commons, you should ask there. Ruslik (talk) 18:37, 1 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Done I've given this some thought and decided to transclude it, per the examples of precedent given above for other (more visible) MediaWiki pages. The source should remain semi-protected. PeterSymonds (talk) 17:07, 2 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
