Inactive requests

Answered requests ought to show the names of the templates just as active requests do.

I've just answered a request at Template talk:Infobox church#Template-protected edit request on 8 August 2018. Now that the request has been answered there's nothing to show that the request was actually for Template:Infobox church/denomination.

Similar problem exists for recent requests...

My best effort would be to clone Module:Protected edit request/active to Module:Protected edit request/inactive and start from there, but I'm sure there's got to be a better fix than that. Cabayi (talk) 14:51, 8 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Just noting that this was  Fixed per #Template-protected edit request on 11 March 2020 below. SD0001 (talk) 03:34, 12 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Template-protected edit request on 11 March 2020

Please sync changes from Module:Protected edit request/sandbox.

Improvement made: the template will show the names of pages to which edits were requested even after the request has been marked as answered. This will be skipped if there was just one page in the request which is same as the subject page.

At present, if an edit request is being made for a page which isn't the subject page, the name of the page get hidden when it's marked as answered, which is quite confusing for a reader.

Template-protected edit request on 30 May 2020

Please change line 34

	if not mw.title.getCurrentTitle().isTalkPage and not self.demo then

to

	if not mw.title.getCurrentTitle().isTalkPage and not self.args.demo then

to fix parameter |demo=. See Template:Edit template-protected/testcases#Answered for demonstration of the issue. This change fixed the error output in {{Edit template-protected/sandbox}}. —⁠andrybak (talk) 05:02, 30 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Feature request

When a request to edit a TemplateStyles stylesheet is made, could the sandbox links point to Template:XYZ/sandbox/styles.css because I believe this is the convention. I guess it is currently looking for a sandbox in Template:XYZ/styles.css/sandbox which is not correct. Thanks — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 12:31, 11 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Fantastic! Thanks — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 16:19, 13 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

When I click View Source at Module:Message box and then click "Submit an edit request", the link takes me to Wikipedia:Main Page/Errors instead of generating an edit request on the relevant talk page. Is this an error with this template/module, or somewhere else? I have Template Editor permissions but not Admin permissions.

Note: I have also posted this at Template talk:Submit an edit request, in contravention of WP:TALKFORK, because I do not know which template or module controls the destination link behind this button. When the problem is fixed, I will make sure to note the resolution at both discussions. – Jonesey95 (talk) 14:54, 3 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
