No articles about the 2024 election other than the actual article about the 2024 election. Created WAY too early. WikiCleanerMan (talk) 22:34, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
- Template:Edit semi-protected (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
- Template:Edit extended-protected (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
- Template:Edit template-protected (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
- Template:Edit fully-protected (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
- Template:Edit interface-protected (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
- Template:Request edit (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Propose merging Template:Edit semi-protected with Template:Request edit.
As I have (surprisingly) recently discovered, this entire family of templates auto-detects the protection level of the template for which the edit request is being made. This means that an {{FPER}} placed on a template-protected template will result in exactly the same thing as a {{TPER}}. Because of this, it seems to me that there is little reason to keep these all as separate templates, instead using the more obvious and reasonably-named {{request edit}} as the base template for this family (instead of the latter template being used as a dab for all five). Primefac (talk) 15:53, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
- Merge the first five together but keep {{request edit}} as is since COI edit requests are, and need to be, a separate process (a page someone has a COI with can also be protected). * Pppery * it has begun... 16:02, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
- Perhaps a parameter such as
COI=yes
ortype=COI
could be used to flag the type of edit request that is being made, which would allow all six templates to be merged into Template:Request edit. That would still keep them a separate process. Adam Black t • c 16:50, 22 May 2024 (UTC)- Is there any reason to do that, though? It seems to just make things more complicated for everyone. * Pppery * it has begun... 18:30, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
- Perhaps a parameter such as
- (edit conflict)Request edit used to be for COI, and it's a generic name that could refer to it or edit partially-blocked as well. Snowmanonahoe (talk · contribs · typos) 16:03, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
- Support Merge (Non-Admin vote) Babysharkboss2 was here!! Dr. Wu is NOT a Doctor! 16:44, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
- Being an admin doesn't mean very much here--there's no need to point out you aren't one. Snowmanonahoe (talk · contribs · typos) 17:00, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
- Merge the first five and keep {{Request edit}} as a disambiguation per Pppery. I was also rather surprised and amused to find out that the edit request templates automatically emulate each other based on the page's protection level. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 18:37, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
- As no one has suggested a title for the proposed merged template, perhaps {{Edit protected}}? —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 18:48, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
- Should probably have "request" in its name. Gonnym (talk) 19:29, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
- Then maybe {{Protected edit request}} to match the Module it invokes, though I should note that the possibly enticing shortcut {{PER}} is already a template for the Peruvian flag. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 20:10, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

- Merge first five unless there is some yet-to-be-discovered reason to have them separate. Gonnym (talk) 19:30, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
- {{request edit}} needs a new name, since that's not what it does. Other than that, I see no issue with merging the others. Izno (talk) 21:31, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: These do not behave identically when the edit request is to an unprotected page. For example, you could use {{Edit extended-protected}} for an article that is within an WP:ARBECR topic area but which has not presently been protected. (If the page is protected, you have to use
|force=
to force a different protection level.)

- Template:Varies/doc (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Unused as the template uses Template:Table cell templates/doc. Gonnym (talk) 14:58, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
- Template:Infobox mapframe/doc/templatedata (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
- Template:Infobox mapframe/doc (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Propose merging Template:Infobox mapframe/doc/templatedata with Template:Infobox mapframe/doc.
Merge the TemplateData to the main /doc template (Template:Infobox mapframe/doc#TemplateData). Since it was created in 2020 and hasn't been updated once since, the parameters need to be checked to see if they are still up to date. Gonnym (talk) 14:54, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
- Merge per nom. * Pppery * it has begun... 16:03, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
Unclear sidebar subpage. Unused and not a doc page. Gonnym (talk) 14:49, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
- Template:PDreview (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Looks like a template that never really took off in usage when it was made in 2010. At this point, such reviews are handled by WP:FFD, and the {{Oldffdfull}} template points readers in the direction of relevant discussions for files. (Also, if this template is deleted, Category:PD reviewed files should probably be deleted per {{Db-g8}} as dependent on the nominated template.) Steel1943 (talk) 22:20, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
- Comment NFCC/NFUR and PD discussions were merged into FFD, so this should be a remainder of a defunct process -- 65.92.244.237 (talk) 03:49, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
- It wasn't used for either process though. It was a template that was created then never utilized. Steel1943 (talk) 21:53, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
