Template talk:Edit

Old discussion

How do you use it?

Possible alternatives? Template:Edittemplate, Template:Edt, Template:Edit?

If used from other templates, this sometimes formats badly, with the closing square bracket landing on the next line. I used non-breaking spaces to no avail. Can we not get rid of the brackets altogether? JFW | T@lk 14:38, 19 Dec 2004 (UTC)

When getting a printable view, the 'edit' links don't appear on each section. Is there a way to do that with this, so that the 'edit' link won't appear on the printable view? There's a CSS tag for it, set up in the stylesheets, I'd think---like the tag that makes external URLs print on paper but not on the screen. grendel|khan 04:51, 2004 Dec 28 (UTC)

PAGENAME

Couldn't it be simplified with "PAGENAME" that template:otheruses use?--Jerryseinfeld 18:17, 3 Jan 2005 (UTC)

No. — Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 18:31, 2005 Jan 3 (UTC)

Okay, I see it just reads the variables fromt he current page.--Jerryseinfeld 21:05, 3 Jan 2005 (UTC)isso tudo e baboseira

Look

Perhaps it can be changed to this to look like the style sheet for the "regular" "sections".--Jerryseinfeld 20:30, 3 Jan 2005 (UTC)

<font class="noprint" style="white-space: nowrap; font-size:smaller; "><small>[[{{SERVER}}{{localurl:{{{1}}}|action=edit}} edit]]</font>

The brackets were readded pending further discussion.--213.238.212.98 15:07, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)

To Jerry: What is wrong with the small tag? —Cantus…☎ 05:01, Jan 8, 2005 (UTC)

It doesn't resize, (shortcut ctrl+mousewheel), the segments/headlines use font-size:smaller; from class="editsection" from main.css.--Jerryseinfeld 05:18, 8 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Font tag is obsolete, isn't it?

Why is it still in use then? Wouldn't span be enough?

Please add category sort key

This template is protected. It needs a sort key added to the category link, so

[[Category:Wikipedia maintenance templates]]

needs to change to

External link icon

It seems a bit strange that the edit link has the same icon as external links (File:External.png). It could be removed by adding style="background-image:none; padding-right:0" to the link code (which consequently would have to be an old-fashioned, non-wiki-styled <a> tag). --Fred Bradstadt 21:25, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

Not a cleanup template

I think the category Category:Inline cleanup templates should be removed, because this is not a cleanup template. (The parent category Category:Cleanup templates states that "this is a category of templates used for marking articles as requiring cleanup.") --NiPu (talk) 10:56, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

Edit request

The current code should be replaced with the following:

<span class="noprint plainlinks">[{{fullurl:{{#if:{{{1|}}}|{{{1}}}|{{FULLPAGENAME}}}}|action=edit{{#if:{{{section|}}}|&section={{{section}}}}}{{#if:{{{editintro|}}}|&editintro={{urlencode:{{{editintro}}}|wiki}}}}{{#if:{{{preload|}}}|&preload={{urlencode:{{{preload}}}|wiki}}}}{{#if:{{{preloadtitle|}}}|&preloadtitle={{urlencode:{{{preloadtitle}}}}}}}}} {{{2|edit}}}]</span><noinclude>
{{documentation}}</noinclude>

so that editintro, preload, and preloadtitle can also be employed. -- SLV100 (talk) 04:53, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

I've placed a modified version of the above in Template:Edit/sandbox. Please test. Anomie⚔ 20:51, 5 April 2012 (UTC)

Well, I had made it better by removing the screw-up if someone uses {{edit||text}} to supply custom text for an edit link to the current page and by removing the use of the probably-obsolete Template:Tl. But SLV100 apparently doesn't like such fixes. Oh well. Anomie⚔ 11:07, 8 April 2012 (UTC)

User:Anomie is correct; the new proposed change is in the box above and at Template:Edit/sandbox (revision #486269168). -- SLV100 (talk) 03:18, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

question/help?

Is there way to make the edit template self reference and only edit things from edit button itself to the bottom of the page or to some tag? Almost like the way a collapsible works but with editing and not with hiding things. I am not asking for a change I am just asking if this is currently built in and doable somehow. I appear to not be able to get this to happen with my current knowledge. Endercase (talk) 18:40, 24 March 2017 (UTC)

Please create the testcases page and demonstrate that the sandbox version works the same as the current version. It looks like the sandbox version does not have |1= in the fullurl: statement, but it probably should. – Jonesey95 (talk) 13:58, 17 October 2019 (UTC)

Making it target section title text, not its number

Is there a way to make the edit function reference the text of a section instead of its number? Because if it is set-up to go to a specific section number, and that page later has a section added or removed above the target section, it will break the "edit" function and instead open up the wrong section to be edited. If instead it targets the text used within a section title, it would (in theory) always open that targeted section to open up and edit. — Lestatdelc (talk) 21:19, 7 July 2020 (UTC)

I second this request. Section name will still be true if section above is added or removed. Section # will not remain true. Thanks - 13:40, 27 October 2023 (UTC) Dmm1169 (talk) 13:40, 27 October 2023 (UTC)

Still no action on this? I strongly suggest this be undertaken since the number of sections is variable pending on whether or not new sections are added or deleted to a page, but using the sections displayed name would not break the edit template section call. – Lestatdelc (talk) 21:22, 5 February 2025 (UTC)
