I come across bugs in template-protected templates from time to time, and I think I'm proficient enough to fix them without someone else checking it over. For instance, I recently submitted an edit request to fix {{Huggle/warn-unsor-2}}'s substitution behavior, and I found a similar issue in {{uw-editsummary2}}. I understand that edits to widely-used templates should be tested in a sandbox first, that they should reflect consensus, and that they can have nontrivial performance costs. jlwoodwa (talk) 01:51, 8 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Primefac: Are you not counting Module:WikiProject banner/sandbox because the module is fully-protected? Even if the template-editor right wouldn't have mattered there, I think my edits to the sandbox still demonstrate a familiarity with the care and responsibility required when dealing with high-risk template modification. As for the requests, I think you might have missed Wikipedia talk:Template index/User talk namespace/Archive 20 § Template-protected edit request on 1 September 2024 due to its unusual namespace. jlwoodwa (talk) 05:23, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The WT edit request would fall under the category of a "trivial edit". I did miss the module sandbox though. Primefac (talk) 12:46, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
