<!-- Categories go at the bottom of this page and interwikis go in Wikidata. -->

This template inserts a new edit request, complete with a heading including today's date. It should only be used on talk pages, and it must always be [[WP:SUBST|substituted]].

== Usage ==

;Implicit parameters
<pre>{{subst:new edit request|<!-- type of request -->|<!-- request content -->}}</pre>

;Explicit parameters
<pre>{{subst:new edit request
|1= <!-- type of request -->
|2= <!-- request content -->
}}</pre>

This template has two positional parameters. The first specifies the type of edit request to be made, and the second is the content of the request. If your request code contains an equals sign, you must declare the parameters explicitly. Otherwise, the template will likely not include your request text at all - see the examples below.

The first parameter can take the following values:
* <code>request edit</code>, <code>coi</code> - these produce {{tl|request edit}}, used for edits where the requester has a [[WP:COI|conflict of interest]].
* <code>semi</code>, <code>semiprotected</code>, <code>semi-protected</code>, <code>edit semiprotected</code>, <code>edit semi-protected</code> - these produce {{tl|edit semi-protected}}, used by non-[[WP:AUTOCONFIRMED|autoconfirmed]] users for edits to [[WP:SEMI|semi-protected]] pages.
* <code>full</code>, <code>editprotected</code>, <code>edit protected</code>, <code>sudo</code> - these produce {{tl|edit protected}}, used by non-[[WP:ADMIN|administrators]] for edits to [[WP:FULL|fully-protected]] pages. This is the default value.

== Examples ==

{| class="wikitable"
! Implicit parameters
|-
|
The following code:
:<code><nowiki>{{subst:new edit request|full|Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.}}</nowiki></code>

Produces:
{{fakeheading|Edit request on {{#time: j F Y }}}}
{{edit protected|answered=no|demo=yes}}
<!-- Begin request -->

[[User:Example|Example]] ([[User talk:Example|talk]]) {{#time: h:i, j F Y }} (UTC)

{| class="wikitable"
! Implicit parameters with equals sign
|-
|
If your edit request includes an equals sign, but you use implicit parameters, the template will break. In this example, the template assumes there is a parameter named "<code>Please add my_parameter</code>", which does not exist in the template code, and results in the template not outputting any request code.

The following code:
:<code><nowiki>{{subst:new edit request|full|Please add my_parameter=yes to the template.}}</nowiki></code>

Produces:
{{fakeheading|Edit request on {{#time: j F Y }}}}
{{edit protected|answered=no|demo=yes}}
<!-- Begin request -->

<!-- End request -->
[[User:Example|Example]] ([[User talk:Example|talk]]) {{#time: h:i, j F Y }} (UTC)
|}

{| class="wikitable"
! Explicit parameters
|-
|
For code containing an equals sign to display properly, declare the positional parameters explicitly.

The following code:
:<code><nowiki>{{subst:new edit request</nowiki></code>
:<code><nowiki>|1= full</nowiki></code>
:<code><nowiki>|2= Please add my_parameter=yes to the template.</nowiki></code>
:<code><nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>

Produces:
{{fakeheading|Edit request on {{#time: j F Y }}}}
{{edit protected|answered=no|demo=yes}}
<!-- Begin request -->
Please add my_parameter=yes to the template.
<!-- End request -->
[[User:Example|Example]] ([[User talk:Example|talk]]) {{#time: h:i, j F Y }} (UTC)
