I would like to make a comparatively minor change to Template:TERYT as requested by Altenmann on the template's talk page. However, even though I created this template, it has had its protection level set. Kiwipete (talk) 04:04, 29 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like that has gone unprocessed primarily because it was dequeued from having an active edit request. If this is one-off issue, I think the best solution would be to just put {{edit protected|answered=no}} back on the page, and a patrolling template editor should process it. (the backlog at Category:Wikipedia template-protected edit requests isn't usually very long). — xaosflux Talk 13:19, 30 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Howdy. I'm an active participant over at WP:DYK, and recently ran in WP:AELECT but did not pass the threshold. Discussion centered around lack of experience on WP:AIV, an area I expressed interest in getting involved in. A decent part of my running for adminship was wanting to help with processing WP:DYK queues, which are template-protected. In my election discussion there were no concerns raised about my professionalism, content creation or reviewing competency, which are the primary things needed with processing DYK queues. I do not meet some of the standard template editor guidelines (e.g. sandbox/significant template edits, etc), but I also do not plan on using the role outside of DYK queue processing. Thanks for your consideration. ~Darth StabroTalk • Contribs 16:46, 1 August 2025 (UTC) ~Darth StabroTalk • Contribs 16:46, 1 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Are there any active DYKers that you are working with often that could leave support here? — xaosflux Talk 19:14, 1 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
