  To tie this one up – if I recall correctly, we agreed with Lydia that it’s 
fine to just say “autoconfirmed” (hard-coded into the message, without 
“/confirmed”), since MediaWiki does this as well (semiprotectedpagewarning 
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Semiprotectedpagewarning>). Wiki 
admins who want the text to be fully accurate can override it on their wiki to 
mention additional groups.

  We also seem to be missing mocks for cascade-protected pages. This can come 
from two ends: the repo, and the client. (Sadly, the edit links aren’t hidden 
on cascade-protected client pages.)
  
  On the repository wiki, cascade protection of the item might be theoretically 
possible (I haven’t tried it out), but on Wikidata in particular, the list of 
cascade-protected pages 
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:ProtectedPages?wpfilters[]=cascadeonly> 
lists only one single page 
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Jasper_Deng/Cascade>, which hasn’t been 
edited since 2013 and doesn’t transclude anything else. I think it’s safe to 
say that we don’t use cascade protection on Wikidata.
  
  On client wikis, cascade protection doesn’t seem to be all that popular 
either. English Wikipedia has 124 cascade-protected pages that aren’t directly 
protected, none of them in the main namespace (Quarry 
<https://quarry.wmflabs.org/query/40648>); German Wikipedia has 1949 such 
pages, all of them in the project namespace (Quarry 
<https://quarry.wmflabs.org/query/40649>); Commons has 404 such pages, in the 
Project and File namespaces; on French, Russian and Basque Wikipedia, I found 
no such pages at all. If you also search pages that are otherwise protected, 
you find a grand total of six pages in the main namespace on English Wikipedia, 
and not much more on the other wikis I checked.
  
  I’m not sure where I’m going with this, to be honest… we should still handle 
these errors somehow (and I guess the few dozen cascade-protected files on 
Commons are the most realistic case where users would encounter them), but not 
lose too much sleep over it?
