Template:Editprotected/doc

This template adds a page to Category:Wikia protected edit requests. It is a self-reference and so is part of the Genealogy project rather than the genealogical content.

Usage
is to be typed on a talk page to request an edit of a protected page. It should be accompanied by a clear and specific description of the requested change. Providing the new sentences or code in your request, if possible, will expedite the process.

Controversial requests, such as edits that are not in line with Wikia policy, and/or community consensus, may be refused.

The talk page on which the request is placed is automatically categorised into Category:Wikia protected edit requests. Administrators will check this category for protected edit requests to process. For faster service, consider additionally posting a request at Forum:Help desk.

This template is useful to edit pages that are "permanently" protected.

Recommended action upon resolution
Once a request is handled, it's best to leave the  tag as an un-transcluded tag, for example, by changing it to:. This removes the message box from the talk page and removes the talk page from the category, while still leaving a record of the request.
