Template:Edit semi-protected/doc

Permanently protected template
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by The Evil IP address (talk | contribs) at 21:59, 10 September 2010 (redirect correction). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

This template is used to request edits to a semi-protected article on that article's talk page.

Usage

Make a new section on the article talk page with a title like "Edit request" and place the code

{{edit semi-protected}}

accompanied by a clear and specific description of the requested change.

Providing the new sentences or code in your request to be copied directly into the page will expedite the process.

Once a request is handled, it's best to leave the {{edit semi-protected}} tag as an un-transcluded tag by changing its code to

{{tlf|edit semi-protected}}

This will remove the message box from the talk page and also remove the talk page from the category, while still leaving a record of the request.

You may use {{ESp}} when responding to requests for edits to semiprotected pages. For example, {{ESp|?}} is convenient for responding to insufficiently specific requests.

Note

MediaWiki:Protectedpagetext has a "Submit an edit request" link which for semi-protected pages uses

to preload text into the edit request's editbox, and to show instructions.
