This is a documentation subpage for Template:Submit an edit request/link.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template is used in MediaWiki:Titleblacklist-forbidden-edit.
Changes to it can cause immediate changes to the Wikipedia user interface.

This template uses Lua:

Module:Submit an edit request (sandbox)

This template adds a link to make a protected edit request. It does the same thing as its parent template, {{submit an edit request}}, only it is formatted as a link and not as a button.

Usage

{{submit an edit request/link
| type = 
| display = 
}}

The |type= parameter can be set to the following values:

Keyword	Protection type
`semi`	semi-protected
`extended`	extended-confirmed protected
`template`	template-protected
`interface`	interface-protected
`full`	fully-protected

If |type=manual, the template will just produce an link to edit the talk page with no preloaded text. If |type= is blank or set to any unrecognized value, the edit request is assumed to be to a fully protected page.

You can set a custom display value for the link with the |display= parameter. The default value is "Submit an edit request".
