Protected edit request on 22 August 2024

It is requested that edits be made to the following fully protected pages:

MediaWiki:Editinginterface (edit · history · last · links)
Template:Editnotices/Namespace/MediaWiki (edit · history · last · links · 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 edits 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. 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 template to MediaWiki:Editinginterface: {{editing interface}} and remove the identical warning on Template:Editnotices/Namespace/MediaWiki. The MediaWiki software provides its own styling for that message that makes it much more prominent.

Failing that, please add that template to Template:Editnotices/Namespace/MediaWiki instead. I added detection of the kind of MediaWiki page through a new overly simple module, and on css, javascript, and json pages it will give a different level of warning.

This feels like yet another proposal to make everything more complicated for no clear motivation. What is the actual problem being solved here? Admins and especially interface admins can be assumed to know what they are doing and not need every subtlety pointed out to them. And Module:Title is a duplicate of the pre-existing Module:Page. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 03:59, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Welp - I merged because I forgot Module:Page existed. Anyway, it might still be helpful and would render a lot of the CSS and JS editnotices that we have in MediaWiki namespace obsolete. Awesome Aasim 15:17, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
