Wikipedia:Requests for page protection/Edit

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Lectonar (talk | contribs) at 10:19, 16 August 2023 (→‎User:Versageek/Talk/Archive/2: done). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

Ideally, requests should be made on the article talk page rather than here.

  • Unless the talk page itself is protected, you may instead add the appropriate template among {{Edit protected}}, {{Edit template-protected}}, {{Edit extended-protected}}, or {{Edit semi-protected}} to the article's talk page if you would like to make a change rather than requesting it here. Doing so will automatically place the page in the appropriate category for the request to be reviewed.
  • Where requests are made due to the editor having a conflict of interest (COI; see Wikipedia:Suggestions for COI compliance), the {{Edit COI}} template should be used.
  • Requests to move move-protected pages should be made at Wikipedia:Requested moves, not here.
  • If the discussion page and the article are both protected preventing you from making an edit request, this page is the right place to make that request. Please see the top of this page for instructions on how to post requests.
  • This page is not for continuing or starting discussions regarding content should both an article and its discussion page be protected. Please make a request only if you have a specific edit you wish to make.

Hello, I am correcting a tracked syntax error on Wikipedia called the Tidy Font bug and this page has three occurrences of this error in the following signature. Due to changes with MediaWiki in 2018, any link written in the format of <font color>[link]</font> with the color stated outside the link does not display the intended colors and instead defaults to standard blue for most browsers. This change will fix three of the remaining nineteen Tidy Font errors within Userspace.

If you would, please change:

<font color="amaranth">[[User:NuclearWarfare|NuclearWarfare]]</font>''''' <sup><font color="green">[[User talk:NuclearWarfare|contact me]]</font></sup>'''''<sub><font color="purple">[[Special:Contributions/NuclearWarfare|My work]]</font></sub>

to

[[User:NuclearWarfare|<span style="color:#A11517">NuclearWarfare</span>]] '''''<sup>[[User talk:NuclearWarfare|<span style="color:green">contact me</span>]]</sup>'''''<sub>[[Special:Contributions/NuclearWarfare|<span style="color:purple">My work</span>]]</sub>

Full disclosure, I made a Protected Edit request here in May which Xaosflux declined on the basis that it was a PE Request. Xaosflux has no objection to the change requested, only the method used to ask for this change per this conversation.

Came back to it the other week after fixing easier issues when I asked Versa on their talk page. Have had no response, so proceeding here.

If you have an questions, feel free to let me know. Thanks, --Zinnober9 (talk) 01:42, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Zinnober9: I hope I have changed it accordingly. Lectonar (talk) 06:58, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
