If the proposal is uncontroversial or has been discussed and is supported by consensus, editors may use {{edit extended-protected}} to notify an extended-confirmed 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. |

Module cat
[edit]Apparently you can change the parameter so that the text uses "module" instead of "template", but it still gets placed into the templates' category. This needs fixing.--Mr. Guye (talk) 19:09, 30 March 2017 (UTC)

Reason parameter
[edit]Every time I use this template or consider using it, I wish it had a |reason= parameter. So I've boldly added one, and included it in the TemplateData. Musiconeologist • talk • contribs 21:07, 1 April 2025 (UTC)
No helpful "create" link
[edit]This template doesn't have a helpful "create" link, like {{documentation}} has, via its subpage {{documentation/preload}}.
— when used on a template page.
This template's link to "add, expand or improve it"-link then goes to the template itself.
As I found on Confused journal
This is fine used on a /doc page, where the "expand or improve it" part is true.
<sorry><gripe>Also, when placed on a /doc page, "missing" being not true.
And the "add" part is not true anywhere.</gripe></sorry>
