Replace [[Wikipedia:Template editors|template editors]] with [[Wikipedia:template editor|]]s in ((Protected page text/template)) for cleanliness in the wikitext, and to not link to a redirect. Before: template editors. After: template editors. SWinxy (talk) 18:38, 15 June 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Looks like a good fix, as full-protected interface pages shouldn't use redirects. ((u|Sdkb)) ^talk 18:44, 15 June 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

 Partly done in any event, the redirect has been bypassed (I skipped link magix). — xaosflux ^Talk 18:47, 15 June 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Cool. Thanks! SWinxy (talk) 19:36, 15 June 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

This edit request to Template:Protected page text/styles.css has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

This message is always shown in two columns on desktop devices (minimum 720px screen width), but sometimes it can be displayed in a fairly narrow space even on wide screens (for example: visit visual editor on a protected page or new topic tool on a protected page while logged out).

I'd like to propose some tweaks, so that it will be shown in a single column in those cases: User:Matma Rex/Template:Protected page text/styles.css (diff).

 Done @Matma Rex: this has been loaded, my initial tests seem fine across several skins. If anyone sees anything causing major breakages please revert and note the issue here for follow up. — xaosflux ^Talk 14:43, 22 July 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Xaosflux It looks like you lost the last part of the code when copying, starting from .pptext-whywhat > div. This effectively removes the multi-column layout. I'd be okay with that, but I don't think it was intentional? Matma Rex talk 14:53, 22 July 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Matma Rex resynced, not sure where that went, thanks for the note. — xaosflux ^Talk 15:20, 22 July 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

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)Reply[reply]

This edit request to Template:Protected page text/interface has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

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.

 Not done See Template talk:Protected page text/Archive 1#Protected edit request on 7 August 2020 - the current situation is deliberate. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 18:16, 10 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

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)Reply[reply]

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

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)Reply[reply]

 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)Reply[reply]
