Add topic | Module:Module wikitext is indefinitely protected from editing as it is a heavily used or highly visible module.

Template-protected edit request on 16 June 2026
[edit] | It is requested that an edit be made to the template-protected module at Module:Module wikitext. (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 module's sandbox before submitting an edit request. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

Please implement my changes in the sandbox, which add a function which can wrap exported packages, so stuff like TfD templates can be shown when a template or module uses a module nominated at TfD. Aasim (話す) 19:35, 16 June 2026 (UTC)
- @Awesome Aasim: Sorry for the late response, but what exactly is the actual use case of this (or can you give an example)? I can't quite figure out what this change is meant to do. Aidan9382 (talk) 21:48, 26 July 2026 (UTC)
- This change is supposed to make it possible to add TfD tags around functions which export modules nominated at TfD. So if Module:Foo was nominated for deletion, if
Module:Foowas nominated for deletion, all invocations would spit out the "see TfD" text. Aasim (話す) 21:58, 26 July 2026 (UTC)- Ok, I think I get it. My main concern here is replacing the output of every function that returns a string could make some meta-functions misbehave in very unpredictable ways, so it might make more sense being manually targetted. Also, judging from what I'm reading here, if two wrappers get defined by two different modules in the same call chain, one will supercede the other in a possibly very buggy way, so that might need some work.
- On that note, I don't see why this needs to be implemented into this module directly. I feel like this might make more sense being made part of a current or new TfD-related module rather than just being placed into this module. Aidan9382 (talk) 22:18, 26 July 2026 (UTC)
- I was considering that as well but I don't know if that is the best approach. We would have to do the same for TfM, and there may be other future use cases where one would have to add in extra informational text before a module invocation. Aasim (話す) 02:16, 27 July 2026 (UTC)
- In that case I still think it'd make more sense as either a new module (or an addition to a TfX module if it makes sense) which behaves similarly to your sandbox edit, in which you can wrap the returned
pand specify which functions to hook and some text that'll be preprocessed and placed before/after the output to make adding any notice easier to module outputs. One thing that is coming to mind though, is how often is a module used directly in wikitext as opposed to through a template, which would probably be an easier point to insert a TfX notice at?
