I have been working on preparing templates for dark mode and have needed to make several edits to template-protected pages.[1][2][3][4][5] I would like TPE to reduce the friction of this work. Snowmanonahoe (talk · contribs · typos) 21:56, 16 May 2024 (UTC) [reply]

Standard Guidelines review:
  1. Green tickY (guideline: >1 year, applicant: 3)
  2. Green tickY (guideline: >1000 edits, applicant: ~4300)
  3. Green tickY (guideline: >150 template edits, applicant: ~170)
  4. Green tickY (guideline: !<6 months, applicant: N/A)
  5. Green tickY (guideline: 3 sandboxes, applicant: 10+)
  6. Question? (guideline: 5 requests, applicant: 3?)
Just noting that the last guideline does not seem to be met quite yet; there are still pending requests, and some of the requested changes seem trivial (though I do recognise that figuring out something like Special:Diff/1222657015 may be non-trivial even though it looks like a simple change).

I don't really interpret any of my requests as non-trivial. Even the ones that do take time really just amount to bug-fixes. I figured I'd request the permission anyway because it's unlikely that I will ever make those sorts of significant requests, in the course of what I'm currently doing anyway.
For the record though, I consider Chembox, Multiple image, and Tree chart to be non-trivial by your definition. Snowmanonahoe (talk · contribs · typos) 13:36, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I did give you credit for three... But that's just the numbers, not the interpretation.
Re: your latest comment, though: is this something that you see yourself needing indefinitely, or is it more of a short-term "sort out dark mode and then I'm done" sort of thing? Primefac (talk) 13:54, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
When I'm done with this, if I have the perm indefinitely I probably won't actively seek out new template work to do. Might handle edit reqs occasionally and do things that need doing as I stumble upon them, but not much more unless I find some other big 'project' I like. I have no objections to a limited time/scope grant. Snowmanonahoe (talk · contribs · typos) 14:59, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
 Done until the end of the year. If you need it for longer let us know. Primefac (talk) 15:02, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
To clarify, is this a limited-scope grant? Snowmanonahoe (talk · contribs · typos) 15:05, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You wanted it for dark mode-related content, so I suspect that's what you'll primarily be using it for. If you happen to answer some TPERs, I don't think anyone is going to give you any grief. I'm not going to get so formal as to state that you can only use it for one purpose, that would be silly. Just don't screw anything up Primefac (talk) 15:06, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
