Protected edit request on 12 October 2022

Please implement my changes in the sandbox. The reason for this is that the message MediaWiki:Titleprotected does not show up if the page does not exist anymore (see phab:T312317). This workaround will make sure that an editor visiting a protected page will always know why they cannot create the page. Same information from titleprotected but more, just phrased differently.

I also mention "please save the text temporarily to your device" from the title blacklist forbidden page as pages might be protected suddenly while an editor is working on it. I believe these changes to be non-controversial because it largely replaces functionality for MediaWiki:Titleprotected as that message is not working as it is supposed to.

 Done though this seems to be getting overly complicated. — xaosflux ^Talk 14:34, 29 December 2022 (UTC)

Fully-protected edit request on 9 November 2023

I would suggest removing the user page link and prefix to show as "This user CSS page/user script is currently protected so that only Protected page text and interface administrators can {{{2}}} it" to maintain consistency with Template:Protected page text/user-json, or remove the unnecessary User: prefix while keeping the userpage link. And please see my request in wikitext so that you do not add Protected page text instead of the user's CSS/JS page. Thanks. 64andtim (talk to me) 15:37, 9 November 2023 (UTC) 64andtim (talk to me) 15:37, 9 November 2023 (UTC)

Protected edit request on 9 November 2023

Please implement my changes in the sandbox. This adds a parameter to specify the message for where page protection should be dropped, as well as adds a "title" parameter so a title can be manually specified. Awesome Aasim 17:57, 9 November 2023 (UTC)

What's the use case for either of these? * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 18:16, 10 November 2023 (UTC)

Please see my work in Template:Protected page text/blacklist/sandbox. Here, the parameter would be used to tell users that they can request the title be whitelisted or removed from the blacklist. Awesome Aasim 22:22, 10 November 2023 (UTC)

 Done I'm note sure whether I agree reworking the blacklist message in that way is a good idea, but this change by itself is harmless. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 23:42, 10 November 2023 (UTC)

Protected edit request on 21 December 2023

Change "Wikipedia:Transclucion" to "Help:Transclusion" in the piped wikilink. Why: Obviously the former is a redirect that is vandalised due to the resulting redirection to the latter title. Toadette ^{(Happy holiday!)} 19:16, 21 December 2023 (UTC)

 Not done I just protected the redirect itself. It's only used in one interface page, so that'd be easy to change, but it's in a ton of articles because of template transclusion. It's barely being vandalized; were it a typical page at RFPP, I'd decline, but I think it's justified here. (FWIW, Link to the move discussion) ~ Amory (u • t • c) 23:29, 21 December 2023 (UTC)

Protected edit request on 24 July 2024

Consider adding a check for whether the doc page of a template/module is protected itself. Currently this template always says that they can be edited freely and while that is almost always the case, I was able to find a few protected doc pages in Special:ProtectedPages like Template:Non-free_use_rationale/doc. I've made it so no text appears if the doc page is protected (see TM:Protected page text/sandbox) which I think is acceptable due to how rare this case is, but some text could be added if you disagree. I've also added a check for the other two cases, that is, when both a doc page and a sandbox exist and when only a sandbox exists. The last one should never trigger since sandboxes shouldn't be protected but I think it should be added anyway for consistency. Nickps (talk) 18:24, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

There is also another change in the sandbox, done by Awesome Aasim. He made the doc/sandbox message appear for modules as well. Since that is a good change, consider it also a part of this edit request. Nickps (talk) 19:14, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

... I've unprotected the page of interest. I don't think the change as-is is good enough to implement: I'd expect some text specific to what a person should do be placed in the output. Izno (talk) 22:02, 28 July 2024 (UTC)

 Not done needs more development/discussion. — xaosflux ^Talk 10:29, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
