This page is not for proposing or discussing edits to protected pages.

To request or propose a change to a page that you are not able to edit, place a message on its talk page. If the page is fully protected, you may attract the attention of an admin to make the change by placing the {{edit fully-protected}} template above your request. Requests placed here will probably be removed or ignored.

If the page in question and its talk page are both protected please make your edit request at Wikipedia:Request for edit.
To request that a page be protected or unprotected, see Wikipedia:Requests for page protection.
To suggest that a move-protected page be renamed, see Wikipedia:Requested moves.
To request that a deleted page protected against re-creation be re-created or restored, see Wikipedia:Deletion review.

Remove unnecessary space[edit]

Current:  }} ~~~~

Proposed:  }} ~~~~

The space before the four tildes should be removed and replaced with " " as it produces an unnecessary box and disrupts the formatting of the signature whenever someone doesn't enter text above the line, which is done by a LOT of new editors. ɴᴋᴏɴ21 ❯❯❯ talk 03:25, 17 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Requested idea :P[edit]

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Can we add to the increase/decrease responses, the protecting Admin into the response? Something like: "Not done: requests for decreases to the page protection level should be directed to the protecting admin (Admin) or to Wikipedia:Requests for page protection"... It seems unlikely for most requested edits, the user (probably newbie), doesn't know how to lookup the protecting Admin. - FlightTime (open channel) 18:56, 30 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: I think you may be looking for a change to User:Jackmcbarn/editProtectedHelper.js, the helper script that displays edit requests in a modified form. – Jonesey95 (talk) 00:00, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Jonesey95: Thank you, You're correct, I didn't realize. - FlightTime (open channel) 00:07, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Bug: broken heading/edit summary on redlink(?) talk pages[edit]

See e.g. Template talk:Taxonomy/Streptophyta, Template talk:Taxonomy/Faboideae, Template talk:Taxonomy/Amygdaloideae. I'm not sure but this might happen with other templates as well: [1] 85.23.79.231 (talk) 17:48, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Way to long[edit]

Not sure if this has been broken for a while, but this template is appearing very long instead of wide, making those requesting an edit barely able to see the edit area without having to scroll. — xaosflux ^Talk 01:43, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Pppery: have you worked on this lately, or may have some suggestions? — xaosflux ^Talk 01:44, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Not sure why I was pinged here, since I haven't to my knowledge done anything related to semi-protected edit requests in ages, but Special:Diff/1074406884 seems to have fixed it. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 03:12, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Pppery hmmm, thank you, seems a little bit better, but still problematic. Don't worry about more follow up if you aren't interested. In general, the user story is: "This notice is so large, that it hides the actual edit window". — xaosflux ^Talk 19:08, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Template:Col-float defaults to 30em, which, for me/my font size, in combination with the 80% width and the (unnecessary?) blue icon, means that I see everything in a single column. Maybe make it wider than 80%, and lose the blue dot? Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 20:58, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Where did it go?[edit]

Why doesn't this template appear at the top of the Template:Edit semi-protected page? - Butwhatdoiknow (talk) 16:22, 13 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Inter Miami CF, Florida Panthers, Miami Hurricanes Football[edit]

they need to be semi protected permanently 2601:589:4984:3C00:94E9:B808:5E95:29C1 (talk) 01:56, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
