Template Editor

(add requestview requests)

See Misplaced Pages:Template editor for granting guidelines. Applicants should show some evidence that they generally meet the guidelines outlined there, however administrators may use their discretion in determining which editors meet the general standard. Consider posting {{subst:template editor granted}} to the user talk page of approved users.

I've seen so many of the Baseball WikiProject's templates protected, it's hard to help maintain and improve our templates. I'm requesting this to cut down on the amount of times I need to bug the admins. I reviewed the guidelines and feel I meet all but #5, though I have worked on templates in my personal sandbox. And since these are just guidelines, I was hoping for WP:AGF. CRRaysHead90 | 01:10, 25 November 2013 (UTC)
@CRRaysHead90: could you provide us with any links to protected edit requests that you've made? This would be useful to show that you pass the granting guideline #6. — Mr. Stradivarius 02:19, 25 November 2013 (UTC)
The one in particular that I know of off the top of my head, though I know there's more, is the protected edit request to Template:Infobox MLB player. I gained a consensus for a change to the template. So I filed for it, as seen here, and it was later determined through more discussion to undo the change. CRRaysHead90 | 03:41, 25 November 2013 (UTC)
I found another at Template talk:Infobox film/Archive 23#February 2013 edit request. Looking at that discussion, and at the discussion that lead to your proposed edit at {{infobox MLB player}} being reverted, I would say that both times you were asking edits to be implemented before there was a proper consensus to do so. Sometimes for minor things it is ok to make edit requests without first waiting for discussion, but I don't think you have managed to make this distinction in the two edit requests linked to above. Because of this, I'm closing this as  Not done. However, I would be willing to reconsider after you have made a few more edit requests that demonstrate an understanding of when it is necessary to seek consensus, and of when a suitable consensus has been found. If you make a good edit request that is clearly explained, properly tested and backed up by consensus, it is actually hardly any bother at all for admins patrolling CAT:EP to enact it, so don't be afraid to ask. — Mr. Stradivarius 05:43, 25 November 2013 (UTC)
Addendum: Technical 13 is quite right - that should be "template editors and admins patrolling CAT:ETP" rather than "admins patrolling CAT:EP". My mistake - old typing habits die hard... — Mr. Stradivarius 10:41, 27 November 2013 (UTC)
