I would like Template editor user rights because I edit templates a lot and if given these rights could improve templates further. – Ilovemydoodle (talk) 19:51, 18 May 2022 (UTC)


 * Do you have this right on other wikis? If so, how have you used it? What are examples of templates that you would modify with this right locally? —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 00:28, 19 May 2022 (UTC)
 * I don't. I near exclusively edit here, and I don't have particular articles in mind, I would the ability to request templates to be locked and still be edited. Also I would like to marked as a "Template editor." – Ilovemydoodle (talk | e-mail) 10:31, 20 May 2022 (UTC)
 * @Ilovemydoodle can you give an example of a template that you have a specific edit in mind for, or have made an edit request for because it was protected? Also, wanted right simply to have them ('I would like to [be] marked as a "Template editor"') is called hat collecting and generally frowned upon. You should ask for rights to use them to improve the wiki, not because they confer status or something. DannyS712 (talk) 06:27, 21 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Oh, also we just don't have a template editor group on this wiki, so what are you requesting? That a group be created for you? DannyS712 (talk) 06:28, 21 May 2022 (UTC)


 * The only thing the template editor flag does is allow you to edit through template protection. We don't have template protection enabled on this project, and so even if I could give you the flag (which I can't) it wouldn't make any difference. The only levels of protection enabled here are all users, autoconfirmed users, and admins.
 * The template editor flag was created/imported on large projects to give access to highly technical users, who may not otherwise have a need for the admin flag, which grants access to mostly everything, outside crat, oversight, and check user...and...some other even more esoteric permissions. A full list can be found at Meta:User groups, but most of these, like Template Editor, are not enabled on Wikiquote.  G M G  talk  11:42, 21 May 2022 (UTC)
