Module:Protected edit request/doc

This is the documentation page for Module:Protected edit request

This module depends on the following other modules:

This Lua module is used on approximately 42,000 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the module's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own Module:Protected edit request. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.

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 five 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}}

Override the "must only be on a talk page" check

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

Categories

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

Function	Category
`interface`	Category:Stiles.casa Wiki interface-protected edit requests
`full`	Category:Stiles.casa Wiki fully-protected edit requests
`template`	Category:Stiles.casa Wiki template-protected edit requests
`extended`	Category:Stiles.casa Wiki extended-confirmed-protected edit requests
`semi`	Category:Stiles.casa Wiki 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:Stiles.casa Wiki edit requests possibly using incorrect templates. Otherwise, if the force parameter is not set, it is automatically categorized in the correct protection level.
