{{Permanently protected}}

==Broken links==

{{Talk header}}

The {{tlx|edit protected}} and {{tlx|edit semi-protected}} templates used to set an anchor {{tlx|anchor|editprotected}} immediately before the box; this was useful because the lists at [[User:AnomieBOT/PERTable]] and [[User:AnomieBOT/SPERTable]] contain links to that anchor - see {{diff|User:AnomieBOT/PERTable|prev|583078180|this edit}}, where the link <code><nowiki>[[Template talk:Infobox requested#editprotected|request]]</nowiki></code> is in the second added line. These links are now broken. I ''would'' fix it myself, but I can't find my way through the Lua code: there is something that ''looks'' like it's supposed to add an anchor, in the form of <code>function box:exportAnchors</code>, but I can't work out why that's not happening. --[[User:Redrose64|<span style="color:#a80000; background:#ffeeee; text-decoration:inherit">Red</span>rose64]] ([[User talk:Redrose64|talk]]) 14:07, 24 November 2013 (UTC)

{{User:MiszaBot/config

:The anchors are working for me from [[User:AnomieBOT/PERTable]] and [[User:AnomieBOT/TPERTable]]. I changed the template on [[Template talk:Infobox requested]] from {{tl|edit protected}} to the new {{tl|edit template-protected}}, which will have caused links in the history of [[User:AnomieBOT/PERTable]] to stop working. If you use <code><nowiki>[[Template talk:Infobox requested#edittemplateprotected|request]]</nowiki></code> it should work. (Here's the link: [[Template talk:Infobox requested#edittemplateprotected|request]].) Are any of the anchors from the live PERTable lists not working, or is it just ones in the history? — '''''[[User:Mr. Stradivarius|<span style="color: #194D00; font-family: Palatino, Times, serif">Mr. Stradivarius</span>]]''''' ^{[[User talk:Mr. Stradivarius|♪ talk ♪]]} 14:31, 24 November 2013 (UTC)

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

== Protection detection ==

:''The module also attempts to detect the protection level of the pages used, and if any pages have a different protection level from the function specified it adds the page to Category:Wikipedia edit requests possibly using incorrect templates.''

{{ping|Pppery}} I see you made [[special:diff/1033933383|the latest edit (16 July 2021)]] to this module, in the area where this error is generated.

Instead of populating an error category, why not just choose the appropriate function based on the protection level? &mdash;&nbsp;Martin <small>([[User:MSGJ|MSGJ]]&nbsp;·&nbsp;[[User talk:MSGJ|talk]])</small> 19:17, 27 November 2013 (UTC)

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, [[User:Wbm1058|wbm1058]] ([[User talk:Wbm1058|talk]]) 00:29, 20 August 2021 (UTC)

[[:Category:Non-talk pages with an edit request template]] is flooded with user dashboards. – [[User:Wbm1058|wbm1058]] ([[User talk:Wbm1058|talk]]) 00:37, 20 August 2021 (UTC)

:Hi {{u|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. [[User:ToBeFree|~ ToBeFree]] ([[User talk:ToBeFree|talk]]) 15:03, 21 August 2021 (UTC)

== 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. — [[User:Xaosflux|<span style="color:#FF9933; font-weight:bold; font-family:monotype;">xaosflux</span>]] ^{[[User talk:Xaosflux|<span style="color:#009933;">Talk</span>]]} 23:17, 1 November 2021 (UTC)

:{{ping|Pppery}} this something you could look in to? — [[User:Xaosflux|<span style="color:#FF9933; font-weight:bold; font-family:monotype;">xaosflux</span>]] ^{[[User talk:Xaosflux|<span style="color:#009933;">Talk</span>]]} 13:08, 7 November 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)

::{{not done}}. Using {{para|answered}} instead of its short alias, {{para|ans}}, is more reader-friendly. – [[User:Jonesey95|Jonesey95]] ([[User talk:Jonesey95|talk]]) 17:27, 4 August 2025 (UTC)
