Module:Submit an edit request/doc

This Lua module is used in system messages. Changes to it can cause immediate changes to the Wikipedia user interface. To avoid major disruption, any changes should be tested in the module's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own module sandbox. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Please discuss changes on the talk page before implementing them.

This module depends on the following other modules: Module:Submit an edit request/config (sandbox) Module:Redirect (sandbox) Module:Effective protection level (sandbox) Module:String (sandbox) Module:Arguments (sandbox) Module:Clickable button (sandbox)

This module implements the {{submit an edit request}} and {{submit an edit request/link}} templates.

To use this module from wikitext, you should normally use the {{Submit an edit request}} and {{Submit an edit request/link}} templates. However, the module can also be used directly from #invoke. For the edit request button, use {{#invoke:Submit an edit request|button|args}}, and for the edit request link only, use {{#invoke:Submit an edit request|link|args}}. Please see the respective template pages for a list of available parameters.

To use this module from other Lua modules, first load the module.

local mEditRequest = require('Module:Submit an edit request')

You can then use the _button function to generate an edit request button, and the _link function to generate an edit request link.

mEditRequest._button(args)
mEditRequest._link(args)

The args variable should be a table containing the arguments to pass to the module. To see the different arguments that can be specified and how they affect the module output, please refer to the documentation of {{Submit an edit request}} and {{Submit an edit request/link}}.

This module can be translated and configured for other wikis by editing Module:Submit an edit request/config.
