This is the documentation page for Module:Protected edit request
Template:Pp Template:Lua Template:Module rating Template:Module rating Template:High use
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

Categories
The template categorises the page depending on the protection level of the pages to be edited.
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:Wikipedia edit requests possibly using incorrect templates. Otherwise, if the force parameter is not set, it is automatically categorized in the correct protection level.
