== How to edit Sidebar ==

<nowiki>{{LGBTQ sidebar}}</nowiki> needs updating. From what I can ascertain, this requires admin permissions. [[User:Chrisdevelop|Chrisdevelop]] ([[User talk:Chrisdevelop|talk]]) 08:27, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
: [[Special:Edit/Template:LGBT sidebar]] should only require autoconfirmed. You are in entirely the wrong place. [[User:Pppery|* Pppery *]] [[User talk:Pppery|<sub style="color:#800000">it has begun...</sub>]] 16:35, 19 November 2023 (UTC)

== Add n-specialpages ==

{{edit request|answered=yes}}
Please append <code>specialpages-url|specialpages</code> to the end of the "interaction" sublist, pursuant to [[phab:T385346]], as the link is internal-ish and belongs under the "Contribute" section of the main menu.
