Template-protected edit request on 1 December 2022
[edit]![]() | This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request. |
New month, can someone update it? Thanks!`~HelpingWorld~` (👽🛸) 06:04, 1 December 2022 (UTC) `~HelpingWorld~` (👽🛸) 06:04, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
- If you're talking about the doc page, if your time zone is ahead of UTC, the "update" will occur a few hours late, for you. Thanks for caring. Mathglot (talk) 06:38, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
- @HelpingWorld:
Not done:
{{edit template-protected}}
is usually not required for edits to the documentation or categories of templates using a documentation subpage. Use the 'edit' link at the top of the green "Template documentation" box to edit the documentation subpage. All that is needed for the documentation is a WP:PURGE of the template page, and failure to do that will not in any way affect the correct behaviour of the template when used for real. Other than that, the only thing that might need an "update" is the creation of the monthly category, Category:Articles lacking sources from December 2022, but that was bot-created more than 23 hours in advance. No further action is required. - @Mathglot: Whatever timezone HelpingWorld is in, they posted the request after the change of UTC calendar month. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 12:01, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

Usage in draftspace?
[edit]I see many drafts with this template on it, but since the wording only says "article" and not draft, should we make it so that the word "article" changes to "draft" if it's in the draftspace? Millows! | 🪧 15:35, 12 September 2023 (UTC)

Change {{{1|article}}}
to {{{1|NAMESPACE}}}
for ease of use on drafts. Mach61 (talk) 02:19, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
Not done: please make your requested changes to the template's sandbox first; see WP:TESTCASES. I don't think the suggested code change would work. – Jonesey95 (talk) 21:46, 21 October 2023 (UTC)
Template pages tagged are not added to categories
[edit]A template like Template:Owen family tree is tagged as unreferenced, but the page is not added to any category. Can this be fixed? I looked around but couldn't see where its stopping template pages. Gonnym (talk) 17:45, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
- This is by design. Template:Unreferenced is built around Template:Ambox, which only categorses for pages in mainspace. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 22:21, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
