Template:Edit COI 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. Functionality of the template can be checked using test cases. |
On 27 June 2023, it was proposed that this page be moved from Template:Request edit to Template:Edit COI. The result of the discussion was moved. |

Hi! I've handled some edit request (both COI and SP/EP), and I noticed that this template does not link to the article for which the edit is requested. In contrast, other request templates such as Template:Edit semi-protected and Template:Edit extended-protected include that: "It is requested that an edit be made to the extended-confirmed-protected article at Article Name." It's quite a handy feature, and I don't see any real reason against implementing it for this request template as well. I would have loved to provide a textdiff suggestion, but I am completely clueless about how templates work, and looking at the source code here didn't help. Thanks in advance!

The feature that User:Izno kindly implemented after my request (see above) breaks here, though I'm not sure why. Maybe it has something to do with the ampersand? I wish I could provide a textdiff for a fix, but my technical understanding just is not on that level. Actualcpscm (talk) 16:03, 24 April 2023 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: moved. Will request at WP:RM/TR for an admin to move as this has template protection. (closed by non-admin page mover) ASUKITE 18:29, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
Template:Request edit → Template:Edit COI – This template gets (mis)used fairly regularly, as indicated by edits such as Special:Diff/1162140876, and there have been previous (1, 2) discussions on this talk page that never went anywhere about the matter. Basically, "request edit" makes the request sound like "I can't do this myself and need help", while it actually is saying "I have a COI so I shouldn't edit the article and need help". These two things are, largely, different kettles of fish, and the name should reflect usage. There are a lot of redirects here and I just picked the one that seemed easiest to remember.

If similar templates exist, try to follow a consistent naming pattern.To maintain consistency, there should also be a shortcut called ((CPER)). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Voorts (talk • contribs) 18:28, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

User is instructed that to use the template they must "Go to the article's Talk page and click the New section
tab" but such a tab does not seem to exist. I assume the user is meant to click the Add topic
tab.
This should also be changed under the 'In further detail' subsection.
