If the proposal is uncontroversial or has been discussed and is supported by consensus, editors may use {{edit template-protected}} to notify an administrator or template 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. Functionality of the template can be checked using test cases.

List-class articles

There is no automatic category for List-class politics articles, maybe this should be fixed... - Ilse @ 15:12, 27 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bug reports

There are a couple of bug reports in a template that transcludes this one, that look relevant. Template talk:WikiProject Political parties. --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 18:43, 3 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No importance code for task force articles

moved from Template talk:WikiProject Political parties and followed up here

(The task force template) also fails for apparently correct importance=low. The categorization is correct, but the presentation omits the importance. See for example: [1] --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 18:31, 3 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Hroðulf: It was removed at 15:51, 19 February 2015. You should ask Jj98 (talk · contribs), who made that edit, why they "don't care". --Redrose64 (talk) 08:25, 7 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Jj98: Does the removal of this parameter affect Wikipedia 1.0 ? Please either restore the importance code to the template, or update the wikiproject and template documentation, and post a bulletin at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Politics. The relevant documentation pages I checked before I reported this as a bug are at:

Template-protected edit request on 11 April 2018

Add Gun politics task force. Proposed version can be seen at Template:WikiProject_Politics/sandbox. –dlthewave ☎ 14:47, 11 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not done for now: too much regression would result. Please base your changes on the current template, not one that is three years old. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 18:12, 11 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Redrose64: I've updated the sandbox version with the current template, could you take a look at it again? This is my first template edit so any guidance would be appreciate. Thanks –dlthewave ☎ 01:30, 13 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

OK,

Done --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 18:35, 13 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Task force deprecation

According to this edit by Mr. Guye (talk · contribs), four of the task forces are defunct, hence the associated parameters are deprecated. Is there a proposal anywhere to remove these parameters from the template proper? --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 07:22, 16 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Redrose64 and Mr. Guye: I just made some changes to the template sandbox on this matter. It would seek to put the defunct task forces into the note section instead of side-by-side with the active ones. Would there be any objection to this change? –MJL ‐Talk‐^☖ 21:07, 9 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Template-protected edit request on 4 July 2019

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

There has been no objection to this change, so I'm going to assume that it's fine. Please, Copy and Paste code found at {{WikiProject Politics/sandbox}}. Cheers, –MJL ‐Talk‐^☖ 02:53, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

nvm. Let me make some changes. –MJL ‐Talk‐^☖ 03:03, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Template-protected edit request on 11 March 2020

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Please sync with Sandbox. I've re-ordered the task forces and added a new WikiProject which has merged with WP:POLITICS –MJL ‐Talk‐^☖ 15:06, 11 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

MJL, is there any particular reason for the rearrange, or is it just a convenient side effect of adding the new task force? What is the new order, and how is it different from the old? Primefac (talk) 17:48, 11 March 2020 (UTC) (please ping on reply)[reply]

@Primefac: I moved the inactive/defunct task forces to the bottom of the list (see above; this was easier than what I said I was going to do). –MJL ‐Talk‐^☖ 19:31, 11 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Done Primefac (talk) 00:29, 12 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Add alias for {{{American|}}} and {{{American-importance|}}} to support {{{American|{{{american|}}}}}} and {{{American-importance|{{{american-importance|}}}}}} –MJL ‐Talk‐^☖ 19:16, 18 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

To editor MJL:

done, and thank you very much! P.I. Ellsworth ed. ^put'r there 16:42, 21 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@WOSlinker: why did you undo your change to this template? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 13:55, 6 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@MSGJ: _PAGETYPE_ didn't work in the inactive taskforces section of the template. -- WOSlinker (talk) 19:47, 6 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That's true, it won't work with the hooks. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 21:12, 6 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Why is this template in Category:Wikipedia substituted templates?

~ Tom.Reding (talk ⋅dgaf) 21:20, 17 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The template transclusion chain goes {{WikiProject Politics}} -> {{WikiProject Politics/doc}} -> {{No subst}} -> {{Never substitute}} -> {{Always substitute|yesnomaybe=never}}. Seems like the naming of Category:Wikipedia substituted templates is somewhat vague and inconsistent with how it is actually populated (templates where a decision on to substitute or not to substitute has been made). It is however distinct from Category:Wikipedia templates to be automatically substituted which is for templates that should be substituted and can be done so by a bot.
