Link

It might be useful to link the phrase "interface text" in this message to Wikipedia:MediaWiki namespace. Thanks – 81.153.158.137 11:48, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Done. --ais523 14:33, 17 September 2007 (U T C)

Add box

{{editprotected}} Please add the following:

This interface message is documented on its manual page.
The page forms part of the MediaWiki interface, and can only be edited by administrators. To request a change to the page, add {{editprotected}} to the talk page, followed by a description of your request.

It is the same box as {{explanation}}, however there is a pointer to the talk page. Reason: The user should be informed when he tries to edit the page, not only when he goes to the talk page. Thanks, --Church of emacs (Talk) 13:44, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done, but switched to fmbox . — Carl (CBM · talk) 22:53, 1 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Add link to qqq

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

I suggest to use the same text as on {{interface explanation}}, i.e. change the text "This interface message is documented on its manual page" to "This interface message or skin may be documented on MediaWiki.org or TranslateWiki." Or at least include a link to the qqq. Thank you, SPQRobin (talk) 12:30, 18 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

See recent changes on Commons (talk for their rationale). Also, shouldn't the template be categorised? --Nemo 09:08, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: per my comment at Template talk:Interface explanation. About the categories - if you know what categories to add and where, feel free to make another request or reopen this one. Best — Mr. Stradivarius ^{(have a chat)} 17:57, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, please fix the sitename though: it's translatewiki.net. Thanks, Nemo 13:50, 9 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough - so changed. — Mr. Stradivarius ^{(have a chat)} 19:19, 9 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Protected edit request on 6 March 2014

It is requested that an edit be made to the interface page at MediaWiki:Protectedinterface. (edit · history · last · links)

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 fully 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. When the request has been completed or denied, please add the |answered=yes parameter to deactivate the template.

Please add two newlines between "instructions." and "Submit an edit request". Jackmcbarn (talk) 04:14, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Jackmcbarn: That doesn't work - see my sandbox. It is only displayed on a new line when I use three new lines in the source code, but that seems like too much space. Perhaps we need to do something with <div>...</div> tags? — Mr. Stradivarius ^{♪ talk ♪} 05:01, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I made a couple of attempts at this.[1][2] Have a look and see what you think. — Mr. Stradivarius ^{♪ talk ♪} 05:22, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, now that I try this on a different computer, I see that my "that doesn't work" comment above would be more accurate as "that doesn't work on Chrome under Windows XP". Chrome and Firefox on Ubuntu are both working fine, although with two line breaks it still looks a little squashed. — Mr. Stradivarius ^{♪ talk ♪} 10:01, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I like [3] but with margin-top instead of margin-bottom. Jackmcbarn (talk) 13:43, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
