== Template-protected"Error: Protected edit requestrequests can only be made on 11the talk Marchpage." 2020error ==

{{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.

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

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

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)

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.

[[: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)

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.

: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)

== Template-protectedoverride editcan requestonly be made on 30the Maytalk 2020page ==

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)

:: {{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:)

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

[...] 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.

Please change line 34

(when answered:)

<syntaxhighlight lang="lua">

to

to fix parameter {{para|demo}}. See [[Template:Edit template-protected/testcases#Answered]] for demonstration of the issue.

== Feature request ==

I think they should be changed to say:

(when answered:)

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.

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

== Submit button links to wrong place on fully protected page ==

[...] 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.

{{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.

[[User:FaviFake|FaviFake]] ([[User talk:FaviFake|talk]]) 11:02, 4 August 2025 (UTC)

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)

::{{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)
