Module:Protected edit request/doc

This module produces a message box used to request edits to protected pages. Edit requests can be made for fully protected, template-protected and semi-protected pages, and it is possible to request edits to multiple pages at once.

This module should be used on the talk page of the page to be edited. If you are not able to place it directly on this talk page, then you can specify the page to be edited with the positional parameters. You can also specify multiple pages to be edited, if this is more convenient than making multiple edit requests in different locations.

Syntax

The module has four functions, one for each available protection level:

Function	Protection level	Template
interface	CSS/JS protection	{{edit interface-protected}}
full	Full protection	{{edit fully-protected}}
template	Template protection	{{edit template-protected}}
extended	Extended confirmed protection	{{edit extended-protected}}
semi	Semi-protection	{{edit semi-protected}}

Basic usage

{{#invoke:protected edit request|function}}

Specify pages to be edited

{{#invoke:protected edit request|function|First page to be edited|Second page to be edited|...}}

Deactivate a request

{{#invoke:protected edit request|function|answered=yes}}

Force a request's protection level rather than allowing auto-detection

{{#invoke:protected edit request|function|force=yes}}

All parameters

{{#invoke:protected edit request|function
| First page to be edited|Second page to be edited|Third page to be edited|...
| answered = 
| ans      = 
| demo     = 
| force    = 
}}

Categories

The template categorises the page depending on the protection level of the pages to be edited.

Function	Category
interface	Category:Wikipedia interface-protected edit requests
full	Category:Wikipedia fully-protected edit requests
template	Category:Wikipedia template-protected edit requests
extended	Category:Wikipedia extended-confirmed-protected edit requests
semi	Category:Wikipedia semi-protected edit requests

The module attempts to detect the protection level of the pages used. If one or more of the pages are unprotected, or multiple pages with different protection levels are specified, the page is categorized in Category:Wikipedia edit requests possibly using incorrect templates. Otherwise, if the force parameter is not set, it is automatically categorized in the correct protection level.
