Not done: it's not clear what changes you want made. Please detail the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 07:52, 27 February 2026 (UTC)
- @Zackmann08 I did give my changes in the xy format, not sure what you mean. But I'll just edit it myself, as Andrybak said. 🍅 fx (talk) 11:50, 27 February 2026 (UTC)
- Flexagoon, the original edit request didn't specify that the issue is in the documentation. I just happened to realize what was meant by accident. Edit requests should be used only for protected pages. —andrybak (talk) 13:23, 27 February 2026 (UTC)
- @Andrybak yeah, I know what edit requests are for, I just didn't realize documentation is located on a separate page, thanks 🍅 fx (talk) 13:24, 27 February 2026 (UTC)
- User:Flexagoon you in fact did not specify in the required format as I had not idea what page or line of code you were referring to... Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 15:06, 27 February 2026 (UTC)

- Flexagoon, documentation is not protected, you can edit it yourself at Special:Edit/Template:Edit interface-protected/doc. —andrybak (talk) 11:19, 27 February 2026 (UTC)
- Because Template:Edit interface-protected/doc is used as a documentation page by several templates (see Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Edit interface-protected/doc), the actual fix is to link to the category corresponding to where the /doc page is transcluded: Special:Diff/1351053028. —andrybak (talk) 17:45, 25 April 2026 (UTC)
