Template Editor

(add request • view requests)

See Wikipedia:Template editor for granting guidelines. Applicants should show some evidence that they generally meet the guidelines outlined there, however administrators may use their discretion in determining which editors meet the general standard. Consider posting {{subst:template editor granted}} to the user talk page of approved users.

User:Smuconlaw

Hello, I just realized that it's now necessary to request for this right to continue editing some templates that have been "locked down". I have been involved in creating and modifying templates such as those linking to the Legal Information Institute websites (e.g., "{{Cite AustLII}}", "{{Cite BAILII}}", "{{Cite CanLII}}", and so on), and also worked on "{{Administrative law}}", "{{Educational assignment}}" and "{{Law of Singapore}}". Thanks in advance. — SMUconlaw (talk) 10:53, 3 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see any edit protected requests in this user's contributions validating a need for this permission. Everything else look fine on the surface. I suggest you get some successful edit requests under your belt Smuconlaw and then come back and ask again. If there are some templates you have been working on that have recently been protected, then it should be no problem getting those requests in and getting them granted updating "your" templates ;) Technical 13 (talk) 15:54, 3 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, no problem. — SMUconlaw (talk) 16:04, 3 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
An admin should confirm this with a done or not done, so this gets archived for now. I have no input on whether or not this should pass. equazcion → 23:52, 5 Nov 2013 (UTC)
 Done Acknowledging Technical 13's note; however, I'm happy with this request. Thanks for the prodding, Equazcion. :) Acalamari 23:59, 5 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

User:Inks.LWC

I have extensive experience with template editing and creation. I test out template edits before implementing them (other than basic changes, grammatical fixes, spelling fixes, etc.), usually on one of my subpages. I've also created 4 templates, and made useful suggestions to popular templates Inks.LWC (talk) 00:01, 5 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

User:Zyxw

Registered user since since 2005 wth 57,000+ overall edits, including 5,600+ template namespace edits (of which 170+ were /sandbox and 1,100+ were /doc). I have made at least 35 protected edit requests going back as far as 2007, many of which are non-controversial: fixing coding errors, adding documentation template, etc. Links to some recent protected edit requests where I implemented the changes in a sandbox: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 (link number 1 is a pending request that I could have implemented myself with template editor rights). I have also reviewed the guidelines at Wikipedia:Template editor. Thanks. Zyxw (talk) 23:36, 5 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have created and worked in templates, I have read and understood the requirements and responsibility, my password is strong enough and unique, I understand the tool should be used after reaching a consensus. I'll use the tool carefully. Tito☸Dutta 03:14, 11 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
@Titodutta: can you point us to any examples of protected edit requests that you have made, or to work on the sandboxes of protected templates? This is per #5 and #6 of the granting guidelines, to demonstrate that you have "a need for the right, as well as a familiarity with the care and responsibility required when dealing with high-risk template modification".

  • @Mr. Stradivarius: I can not remember if I have worked in protected templates' sandbox, most probably "no", but I have worked in many template sandbox (unprotected). Working in sandbox first is a good practice. I participated and made few requests at Infobox musicians or singer and few more last year.. but, I have forgotten the discussions. I regularly participated in Tfd related discussions and if counted I have experience of creating and managing protected templates in a non-wikimedia Wiki (I can give example here).

Ok, I've had a look through your template contribs for the last six months or so, and I'm not really seeing anything that would satisfy the general idea behind points #5 and #6 of the granting guidelines that I mentioned above. So I'm afraid that I'm going to close this as  Not done. Please feel free to make a new request when you have made some protected edit requests and worked in the sandboxes of some protected templates. — Mr. Stradivarius ♪ talk ♪ 06:29, 11 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

User:Dpleibovitz

I am running a fork of Wikipedia on a server without HtmlTidy and so I find a lot of small errors, typically in missing or wrongly mismatched elements. I do NOT plan on making any major changes within Wikipedia, simply fixing small bugs. While my edit counts is not high, I am an experienced designer. Within my fork, I have made over 39K edits, and have created numerous (large) templates. I could provide a link to the fork if requested. Dpleibovitz (talk) 18:57, 11 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
