If a template you frequently edit had its protection level recently changed, ask the protecting admin if lowering the protection level is an option.

There have been three or four times in recent months when I've needed to request changes to template wordings or parameters. These have all been related to cricket, in which I've become moreorless a specialist. It would therefore be useful if I could make such changes myself. I have the necessary technical capability, in both the WP and professional spheres, and I am well aware of the needs for interface awareness and testing. Please ping me if you have any questions. Thank you. Jack (talk) 18:29, 23 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Not done, I'm only seeing one pending and two declined TPER (one from 2016), so declining for lack of need (being occasionally inconvenienced by TPER requests is not sufficient in and of itself to indicate need for the tools). You do have plenty of cricket-related template edits but they all seem to be on not-template-protected pages. Primefac (talk) 23:24, 23 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
