This template must be substituted. Replace {{New edit request ...}} with {{subst:New edit request ...}}.
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 substituted.
Usage
- Implicit parameters
{{subst:new edit request|<!-- type of request -->|<!-- request content -->}}
- Explicit parameters
{{subst:new edit request
|1= <!-- type of request -->
|2= <!-- request content -->
}}
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:
request edit, coi - these produce {{request edit}}, used for edits where the requester has a conflict of interest.semi, semiprotected, semi-protected, edit semiprotected, edit semi-protected - these produce {{edit semi-protected}}, used by non-autoconfirmed users for edits to semi-protected pages.full, editprotected, edit protected, sudo - these produce {{edit protected}}, used by non-administrators for edits to fully-protected pages. This is the default value.

{{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.

Produces:
Edit request on 17 October 2023
 | It is requested that an edit be made to the fully protected template at Template:New edit request.
(edit⧼dot-separator⧽history⧼dot-separator⧽last⧼dot-separator⧽links⧼dot-separator⧽transclusion count⧼dot-separator⧽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 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.

| 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 "Please add my_parameter", which does not exist in the template code, and results in the template not outputting any request code.
The following code:
{{subst:new edit request|full|Please add my_parameter=yes to the template.}}
