Batch protect the Interstate Highway articles again

He's back and he's taxing our ability to deal with it. I know I could probably figure out how to do it, maybe, but since you did it last time, can you batch-protect all of the Interstate Highway articles again? Thanks. --Jayron32 19:13, 29 March 2016 (UTC)

Sure. I've set it to three months. This guy really is persistent. Just for future reference, if you have Twinkle enabled you can go to the category and select "p-batch" (it's along the top in Monobook, it's probably hidden in a dropdown in Vector). Then you just unselect the sub-categories and anything else you don't want to protect, set the protection level and expiry date, and off it goes. Best, HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 21:06, 29 March 2016 (UTC)

+1 You guys are great. –Fredddie™ 22:01, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
