Module:Protected edit request/doc explained

This module produces a message box used to request edits to protected pages. Edit requests can be made for fully protected, template-protected and semi-protected pages, and it is possible to request edits to multiple pages at once.

This module should be used on the talk page of the page to be edited. If you are not able to place it directly on this talk page, then you can specify the page to be edited with the positional parameters. You can also specify multiple pages to be edited, if this is more convenient than making multiple edit requests in different locations.

Syntax

Otherwise, if the force parameter is not set, it is automatically categorized in the correct protection level.
