Category:Wikipedia semi-protected edit requests

This is a maintenance category, used for maintenance of the Wikipedia project. It is not part of the encyclopedia and contains non-article pages, or groups articles by status rather than subject. Do not include this category in content categories.

Administrators: Please do not delete this category even if it is empty!
This category may be empty occasionally or even most of the time.

If this category has 2 items or more, it will report as a backlog. (recount)

This category contains requests for changes to semi-protected pages. Semi-protected pages cannot be changed by anonymous users and newly registered editors.

To list a page in this category, add the template {{changesemiprotected}} to the talkpage of the protected page, which will produce a notice like this:

It is requested that a change be made to this semi-protected category (see protection log).

This template may only be used when followed by a specific description of the request, that is, specific text that should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The change may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to replace the {{changesemiprotected}} template with {{tlf|changesemiprotected}} when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This so that inactive requests don't needlessly fill up the semi-protected edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that Category:Wikipedia semi-protected edit requests itself be protected or unprotected, please make a request at requests for page protection.

Responding to a request

Editors may find the template {{EP}} useful when responding to changesemiprotected requests.
