By the way, MediaWiki has recently gained the ability to display protection indicators by itself, without the need to keep templates in sync with the page protection: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgEnableProtectionIndicators
If your templates are not too complex, it's possible you could enable that option on your wiki and replace the templates. The appearance of the indicators can be customized with some MediaWiki: messages and site CSS, per the docs on that page. Among Wikimedia wikis, the option is currently only enabled on https://az.wikipedia.org/ (https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T371440), so you can have a look at the protected pages there to see how it works in practice.
