If the page has been protected (the s, p, t or m option) with an expiration, then a second optional parameter that accepts the duration can be specified. For example, {{RFPP|p|1 week}} produces:

20px Fully protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected.

Notes

{{RFPP|full|1 week|<reason>}}

20px Fully protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected.

{{RFPP|isun|<reason>}}

20px Already unprotected by administrator [nil <reason>].

This template supports "indefinite" in the duration field where applicable. "indef", "infinite" and "infinitely" are synonyms.

{{RFPP|semi|indefinite|<reason>}}

20px Semi-protected indefinitely.

If the page has already been protected or unprotected prior to the request (or the protecting administrator hasn't placed a marker on a report), use of a second parameter with the ap, ad or up will leave that administrator's name and {{admin}} links. For example, {{RFPP|ap|Master of Puppets}} produces:

20px Already protected by administrator Master of Puppets.
