Just a question...
At the
WP:RMT, we get some requests where articles (proposed target or perhaps the existing name) are protected so that template editors or admins only can move them. A page mover cannot generally do it. I guess when there is an established page-mover who understands the move related policies and guidelines, there should be no problem in granting them the right given that they are already well-versed in moving. Currently, the criteria for granting this flag is all about experience with template editing etc. I'd like to hear from others on this. Best, ─

In the rare instance that the page is protected, an edit request should work fine. Even though I am a template editor with hundreds of thousands of edits, I just submitted an edit request to fix a typo transcluded on the main page. It happens. Admins have always been happy to check these requests and take care of them. –

I am considering requesting this right, but how do I search for examples of #5 and #6? I've been a Wikipedian for nearly 20 years, and I think I've done some of those things, but I've no idea how to zero in on them, and I may have forgotten some things I've touched.

Thanks - that's the obvious part of it. I probably should have said I can easily produce a list of work I've done in template space altogether. The issue here is winnowing down the results to what #5/#6 is looking for. I'd have to manually drill down. I've done 940 template edits, as well as loads of template-like editing in WikiProjects.

I mean... #5 is just looking through your template-space contributions for edits to a /sandbox. If you've been making TPERs, then your edit summary will likely include mention of that (I believe the wording is Template-protected edit request on <date>: new section, though even just looking for "new section" might work). That should help narrow it down.

It says (including partial blocks) right in there. If there is an active block, by definition it is "less than six months".

question
I'd love to have this right someday, and I was wondering, though I do not meet the one year requirements, how can I check if I meet the other four?
