- I would like to be able to make changes to Modules and Templates which are now more tightly protected (I am finding fewer and fewer of them that I can still edit). Uzume (talk) 04:09, 19 September 2019 (UTC)
- @Uzume: Could you articulate what kind of work on protected templates you intend to perform? — JFG talk 04:21, 19 September 2019 (UTC)
- They vary but probably things related to structure and organization, e.g., Wikidata. Right now I am thinking to add better Wikidata linking to a number of templates that use such by adding things like {{EditAtWikidata}} or similar (perhaps adding categorization too based on if parameters match or do not match Wikidata, etc.). Some example templates I have considered include: {{DBLP}}, {{Isfdb title}}, {{Isfdb name}}, {{MathGenealogy}}. Uzume (talk) 05:08, 19 September 2019 (UTC)

- I am not going to argue this (as I have little inclination to go about proving things) and I will just say that I have done plenty of sandbox requests over the years but if I have to get someone else to apply changes from a sandbox, there is little reason to do so under my logged in account. You didn't look hard enough. Uzume (talk) 07:09, 19 September 2019 (UTC)
- I'm puzzled: what reason would there be not to use your account when working on sandboxes? And we can't "look hard" at what you do when not logged in: first it's your job to bring forward your expertise in template editing, second IP addresses are not matched to logged-in users, and we couldn't find your edits even if we tried. — JFG talk 07:50, 19 September 2019 (UTC)
