Submit button links to wrong place on fully protected page

Resolved

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]

Fixed at the other talk page. – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:39, 7 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

On mobile

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]
