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

== Inactive requests ==

{{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.

Answered requests ought to show the names of the templates just as active requests do.

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)

I've just answered a request at [[Template talk:Infobox church#Template-protected edit request on 8 August 2018]]. Now that the request has been answered there's nothing to show that the request was actually for [[Template:Infobox church/denomination]].

[[: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)

Similar problem exists for recent requests...

== Template-protectedoverride editcan requestonly be made on 11the Marchtalk 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)

:{{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)

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

:: {{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 ==

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.

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)

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.

{{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:

I think they should be changed to say:

Please change line 34

<syntaxhighlight lang="lua">

if not mw.title.getCurrentTitle().isTalkPage and not self.demo then

</syntaxhighlight>

to

<syntaxhighlight lang="lua">

if not mw.title.getCurrentTitle().isTalkPage and not self.args.demo then

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

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.
