Revision as of 15:48, 26 October 2024

Module:Protected edit request is permanently protected from editing because it is a heavily used or highly visible module. Substantial changes should first be proposed and discussed here on this page. If the proposal is uncontroversial or has been discussed and is supported by consensus, editors may use {{edit template-protected}} to notify an administrator or template editor to make the requested edit.

This is the talk page for discussing improvements to the Protected edit request module.

Can this please be made visible on mobile? There's no good reason for it not being visible. Hairy Dude (talk) 14:16, 12 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"Error: Protected edit requests can only be made on the talk page." error

@Pppery: I see you made the latest edit (16 July 2021) to this module, in the area where this error is generated.

See Template:Admin dashboard/light/sandbox#Current requests for edits to a protected page where errors are shown where Wikipedia:Requests for page protection/Edit is transcluded to dashboards. These are not errors on the Requests for page protection/Edit page itself, even though this isn't a talk page. Can you stop flagging errors when this page is transcluded elsewhere? Thanks, wbm1058 (talk) 00:29, 20 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Non-talk pages with an edit request template is flooded with user dashboards. – wbm1058 (talk) 00:37, 20 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi wbm1058, thanks for the report – this is now being fixed (Template_talk:Submit_an_edit_request#Protected edit request on 16 July 2021); I'm not yet sure if additional reverts are needed. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 15:03, 21 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

override can only be made on the talk page

Anyone want to put in another argument to override this check please? Sometimes these are on places like WP:IANB - and it would be useful to enqueue the request to the report and category. — xaosflux ^Talk 23:17, 1 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Pppery: this something you could look in to? — xaosflux ^Talk 13:08, 7 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Done Passing |skiptalk=yes now overrides that check. I also removed the check for being on RFPP (part of an idea of mine to merge Wikipedia:Requests for page protection/Edit with the edit request template process that turned out not to work and was abandoned), and fixed a longstanding bug where {{edit protected}} on a non-talk page caused an error. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 16:09, 7 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
