== 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. – [[User:Jonesey95|Jonesey95]] ([[User talk:Jonesey95|talk]]) 14:54, 3 June 2021 (UTC)

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

:: {{Done}} Passing {{para|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 {{tlx|edit protected|demo=yes|answered=yes}} on a non-talk page caused an error.

== Text for template-protected ==

Can the text for {{tl|edit template-protected}} be enhanced to mention using {{tl|ETp}} for responses? For example, {{tl|edit semi-protected}} currently displays {{tqq|You may also wish to use the {{tl|ESp}} template in the response.}}.—[[User:Bagumba|Bagumba]] ([[User talk:Bagumba|talk]]) 04:03, 6 May 2025 (UTC)

== Template-protected edit request on 4 August 2025 ==

{{edit template-protected|Module:Protected edit request|answered=yes}}

When an edit request is either answered or not answered AND the parameter used in the underlying wikitext for that particular request is {{para|ans}} and not {{para|answered}}, the texts in the two boxes currently say:

(when not answered:)

[...] To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a [[Wikipedia:Requests for page protection|protection request]]. When the request has been completed or denied, please add the <code><nowiki>|</nowiki>answered=''yes''</code> parameter to deactivate the template.

(when answered:)

This [[Wikipedia:Edit requests|edit request]] has been answered. Set the <code><nowiki>|</nowiki>answered=</code> parameter to '''no''' to reactivate your request.

----

I think they should be changed to say:

(when answered:)

This [[Wikipedia:Edit requests|edit request]] has been answered. Set the <code><nowiki>|</nowiki>ans=</code> parameter to '''no''' to reactivate your request.

(when not answered:)

[...] To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a [[Wikipedia:Requests for page protection|protection request]]. When the request has been completed or denied, please add the <code><nowiki>|</nowiki>ans=''yes''</code> parameter to deactivate the template.

: This feels like a lot of extra effort for not much value to me. [[User:Pppery|* Pppery *]] [[User talk:Pppery|<sub style="color:#800000">it has begun...</sub>]] 14:39, 4 August 2025 (UTC)

:Fixed:{{not atdone}}. theUsing other{{para|answered}} talkinstead of its short alias, {{para|ans}}, is more pagereader-friendly. – [[User:Jonesey95|Jonesey95]] ([[User talk:Jonesey95|talk]]) 1517:3927, 74 JuneAugust 20212025 (UTC)
