Revision as of 01:16, 23 August 2008

Template:Userpageinfo is permanently protected from editing because it is a heavily used or highly visible template. Substantial changes should first be proposed and discussed here on this page. If the proposal is uncontroversial or has been discussed and is supported by consensus, editors may use {{edit template-protected}} to notify an administrator or template editor to make the requested edit. Usually, any contributor may edit the template's documentation to add usage notes or categories.

Any contributor may edit the template's sandbox. This template does not have a testcases subpage. You can create the testcases subpage here.


Question

Why does this Template not work when I tested it?

edit count | edit summary usage

{{editprotected}}

Request: "Edit summary usage" (Mathbot's edit summary usage tool) is no use because it's a dead link and "edit count" already shows the edit summary usage.
 Not done: 'cuz I fixed the link to mathbot's tool. It's been moved to the toolserver. Cheers. --lifebaka (talk - contribs) 19:12, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

Increase flexibility

It is requested that an edit be made to the template-protected template at Template:Userpageinfo.
(edit · history · last · links · sandbox · edit sandbox · sandbox history · sandbox last edit · sandbox diff · transclusion count · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, so that an editor unfamiliar with the subject matter could complete the requested edit immediately.

Edit requests to template-protected pages should only be used for edits that are either uncontroversial or supported by consensus. If the proposed edit might be controversial, discuss it on the protected page's talk page before using this template. Consider making changes first to the template's sandbox before submitting an edit request. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request. When the request has been completed or denied, please add the |answered=yes parameter to deactivate the template.

  • Add {{{style}}} parameter to the <div>
  • Remove the www. from mathbot edit summary
  • Add parameter (maybe something like {{{text}}} or {{{after}}}) to allow inserting of additional text
  • Use Plainlinksneverexpand class and/or add the metadata class
  • Maybe a class like topicon but toptext?
  • Use
  • Get ride of the blue tint on the links, should need it anyway.

That's all I can think of now. — Dispenser 02:38, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

This shouldn't even be protected anyways, so I'd like to add that whoever handles this should also unprotect it. It's not used in articles, so any potential vandalism isn't relevant.. —Locke Coletc 01:16, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
