I want the message to be more modern. Change this message to:
<div class="user-block" style="background:#ffe0e0; border:1px solid pink; padding:0.5em; margin:0.5em auto; min-height: 40px"><big><big><big>This page is currently protected so that only administrators can edit it.</big></big></big>
<hr>
* Some templates and site interface pages are permanently protected due to visibility. Occasionally, articles are temporarily protected because of editing disputes. Most articles can be edited by anyone.
* The reason for protection can be found in the [[Special:Log/protect|protection log]]. If there are no relevant entries in the protection log, the page may have been moved after being protected.
'''There are some things you can do''':
* Discuss this page with others.
* Request the page's protection level to be reduced.
</div>
The result:
This page is currently protected so that only administrators can edit it.

I think fairly safe to delete, but not vandalism as such so at least give a chance to respond. (it may be someone from a sister project trying something out) Andrewssi2 (talk) 01:00, 22 November 2016 (UTC)Reply
I was unaware of the MediaWiki guidance, so duly noted. However is it also correct that this page should not have been created under Wikivoyage? --Andrewssi2 (talk) 02:29, 22 November 2016 (UTC)Reply
No local copy of the page existed on Wikivoyage until it was created with the content {{vfd}}, at which time that local version overrode the default Mediawiki version. -- Ryan • (talk) • 02:38, 22 November 2016 (UTC)Reply
The only users who can create or modify anything in MediaWiki: space are administrators. That's pretty much hard-coded into the software. (The talk page, OTOH, may be edited by anyone.) Are you saying that anon-IP's are changing the MediaWiki: interface? K7L (talk) 03:44, 22 November 2016 (UTC)Reply
No, it was my (100%) mistake. The user changed the talk page for that and somehow I thought they had changed the main page instead (and applied a VFD). --Andrewssi2 (talk) 04:37, 22 November 2016 (UTC)Reply
Nope, still not coming up. Also, can someone look at abuse filter 23, as it did not allow me to comment with my IP address (possibly an IP range used by Brendan John Williams, but I have no idea about what it is.) I'll post a screenshot of what's coming up. SHB2000 (talk | contribs | en.wikipedia) 11:42, 8 June 2021 (UTC)Reply
Done here's a desktop version. SHB2000 (talk | contribs | en.wikipedia) 12:37, 8 June 2021 (UTC)
