International Relations with the Taliban article

Latest comment: 11 days ago4 comments3 people in discussion

Hi, I'm an avid researcher of Middle Eastern Affairs, specifically in Afghanistan and Iran, and recently a second country accepted Taliban credentials, which would need an update on the table section of this article.

I don't know how to do it myself, and was wondering if anyone can add the United Arab Emirates alongside China to the table that shows which countries have accepted Taliban credentials for diplomatic recognition

Changes to be made on multiple protected pages

Latest comment: 9 days ago8 comments3 people in discussion

I want to add categories to certain pages that are protected (and therefore not editable). Where do I go to make my requests? Berdea (talk) 10:19, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

Use Template:Edit Protected on the associated talk page. — xaosflux ^Talk 12:42, 25 October 2024 (UTC)
- @Xaosflux: I want to add categories to six protected pages, I would prefer to centralise my demands to only one page seen by administrators. --Berdea (talk) 15:46, 25 October 2024 (UTC)
  - {{edit protected}} supports multiple pages in one request. {{edit protected|pagea|pageb}} produces

It is requested that edits be made to the following semi-protected articles:

Pagea (edit · history · last · links · protection log)
Pageb (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

I personally don't see the need for a formal use of that template, but you haven't even specified the pages right now so there's nothing anyone can do.

Also Meta:RFH would be a better venue for this. * Pppery * _{it has begun} 23:31, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

Certainly not required, but this seems like a very low urgency sort of thing that a patrolling admin can get to when they get to it. — xaosflux ^Talk 01:42, 26 October 2024 (UTC)
