This template is used in system messages.
Changes to it can cause immediate changes to the Wikipedia user interface. To avoid large-scale disruption, any changes should first be tested in this template's /sandbox or /testcases subpage, or in your own user space. The tested changes can then be added in one single edit to this template. Please discuss any changes at the talk page before implementing them.

This module implements the {{submit an edit request}} and {{submit an edit request/link}} templates.

Usage from wikitext

To use this template from wikitext, you should normally use the {{submit an edit request}} and {{submit an edit request/link}} templates. However, the module can also be used directly from #invoke. For the edit request button, use {{#invoke:Submit an edit request|button|args}}, and for the edit request link only, use {{#invoke:Submit an edit request|link|args}}. Please see the respective template pages for a list of available parameters.

Usage from Lua modules

To use this module from other Lua modules, first load the module.

local mEditRequest = require('Module:Submit an edit request')

You can then use the _button function to generate an edit request button, and the _link function to generate an edit request link.

mEditRequest._button(args)
mEditRequest._link(args)

The args variable should be a table containing the arguments to pass to the module. To see the different arguments that can be specified and how they affect the module output, please refer to the documentation of {{Submit an edit request}} and {{Submit an edit request/link}}.
