This template should always be substituted – use {{subst:New edit request}}. Any accidental transclusions will be automatically substituted by a bot.
This template inserts a new edit request, complete with a heading including today's date. It should only be used on talk pages, and it must always be substituted.
{{subst:new edit request|<!-- type of request -->|<!-- request content -->}}
Explicit parameters
{{subst:new edit request
|1= <!-- type of request -->
|2= <!-- request content -->
}}
This template has two positional parameters. The first specifies the type of edit request to be made, and the second is the content of the request. If your request code contains an equals sign, you must declare the parameters explicitly. Otherwise, the template will likely not include your request text at all - see the examples below.
The first parameter can take the following values:
semi, semiprotected, semi-protected, edit semiprotected, edit semi-protected - these produce {{edit semi-protected}}, used by non-autoconfirmed users for edits to semi-protected pages.
{{subst:new edit request|full|Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.}}
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. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

Implicit parameters with equals sign
If your edit request includes an equals sign, but you use implicit parameters, the template will break. In this example, the template assumes there is a parameter named "Please add my_parameter", which does not exist in the template code, and results in the template not outputting any request code.
The following code:
{{subst:new edit request|full|Please add my_parameter=yes to the template.}}
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.
