Template talk:Search box

Template:Search box is permanently protected from editing because it is a heavily used or highly visible template. Substantial changes should first be proposed and discussed here on this page. If the proposal is uncontroversial or has been discussed and is supported by consensus, editors may use {{edit template-protected}} to notify an administrator or template editor to make the requested edit. Usually, any contributor may edit the template's documentation to add usage notes or categories. Any contributor may edit the template's sandbox. This template does not have a testcases subpage. You can create the testcases subpage here.

Sorry, I was just changing the answered parameter to yes. Cherrell410^{(t · c)} 17:48, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

To editor Cherrell410: one must first become a template editor before one can make such an edit and then reply that the edit has been "done". Please let template editors make these determinations. Thank you for your other edits! P.I. Ellsworth , ed. ^{put'er there} 18:52, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request 4 September 2025

It is requested that an edit be made to the template-protected template at Template:Search box. (edit · history · last · links · sandbox · edit sandbox · sandbox history · sandbox last edit · sandbox diff · transclusion count · protection log) This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, so that an editor unfamiliar with the subject matter could complete the requested edit immediately. Edit requests to template-protected pages should only be used for edits that are either uncontroversial or supported by consensus. If the proposed edit might be controversial, discuss it on the protected page's talk page before using this template. Consider making changes first to the template's sandbox before submitting an edit request. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request. When the request has been completed or denied, please add the |answered=yes parameter to deactivate the template.

Description of suggested change: Make accessible with ARIA. Add attributes.

Diff: Kindly sync with sandbox. See diff here. waddie96 ★ (talk) 00:25, 4 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
