Template:Documentation is permanently protected from editing because it is a heavily used or highly visible template. Substantial changes should first be proposed and discussed here on this page. 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.

Info

Hello, I really don't know how the modules work, I added some codes to see if adding [info] (link to see the information of a page) next to [view] [edit] [history] and [purge] was worked but I get an error, can it be repaired? thanks 67.90.43.34 (talk) 02:29, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Template-protected edit request on 19 March 2024 Spelling/grammar/punctuation/typographical correction Suggestion

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

The a in ”Northern Sami” should be changed with an á, because it’s the proper way of spelling the language’s name. Thatpulpetti (talk) 01:11, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Link to run test cases

On module sandboxes, there is a message "See also the companion subpage for test cases (run)." and the "run" is a link to the talk page of the test cases, where the tests are executed. (I don't know where this message is produced because it does not seem to come from Template:Template sandbox notice.) I would like to propose that the run link be added to this module to appear next to the link to test cases, at the end of the documentation. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 11:19, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Template-protected edit request on 11 April 2024

It is requested that an edit be made to the template-protected module at Module:Documentation.
(edit · history · last · links · sandbox · edit sandbox · sandbox history · sandbox last edit · sandbox diff · test cases · transclusion count · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, so that an editor unfamiliar with the subject matter could complete the requested edit immediately.

Edit requests to template-protected pages should only be used for edits that are either uncontroversial or supported by consensus. If the proposed edit might be controversial, discuss it on the protected page's talk page before using this template. Consider making changes first to the module's sandbox and test them thoroughly here before submitting an edit request. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request. When the request has been completed or denied, please add the |answered=yes parameter to deactivate the template.

Please add the following lines to the top of the module:

local makeInvokeFunc = require("Module:MakeInvokeFunc")(p)

And then remove the explicit function definition for makeInvokeFunc from the module at line 94.

And then replace each instance of makeInvokeFunc(nameOfFunction) with makeInvokeFunc(p, nameOfFunction).

I created that module because it actually has a lot of potential for utility across modules. If an admin could also protect Module:MakeInvokeFunc to be template or full protected then it would address the concerns of "high risk". Awesome Aasim 19:00, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pause for now because there is one more thing I realize this module needs. Awesome Aasim 19:10, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Okay reopening, but with modifications. Also do the same with local message = require("Module:Message")(cfg) . These helper functions can be quite useful in other modules which is why I pulled them out. Also protect afterword. Awesome Aasim 22:56, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
