Documentation
[edit]This template is used on the page Meta:Protected against recreation. It transcludes a nonexistent page that is to be protected from creation through the use of cascading protection. If the page exists, it must be deleted for the cascading protection to take effect; there is a "delete" link provided next to the article name in this case.

must be appended for the image name/link to appear. Please note that the cascading protection does not extend to the Commons image.
