Template talk:Editnotices/Page/User:Gioguch/sandbox

Template-protected edit request on 9 October 2020 edit

I would like to edit this page for a test editnotice. I want to create this test editnotice for my sandbox, and I attempted to use User:Gioguch/sandbox/Editnotice, but it didn't work. I want to use this editnotice for my sandbox, so please enable it for me. Thank you. Gioguch (talk) 23:24, 9 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

You won't be able to edit the edit notice after it's been created, you'd have to make an edit request for each change. – Thjarkur (talk) 19:23, 10 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

This sounds hinky, because the second sentence at WP:editnotice sez: "All users can create editnotices for their user space,...". So why can't this user create and edit their own edit notice? Gioguch, did you get yourself in some kind of trouble? P.I. Ellsworth  ed. put'r there 19:35, 10 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

It would be this: "Anyone can create an editnotice for a user or user talk page. (But editnotices for user sub-pages can only be created by admins, template editors, and page movers.)" since user subpage editnotices are kept in templatespace rather than userspace. – Thjarkur (talk) 19:43, 10 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
So you may prefer to just use your main userpage editnotice for testing purposes, since it's so rare that anyone try to edit your userpage. – Thjarkur (talk) 19:46, 10 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
There's a subtlety I never noticed before. I see it now at WP:Editnotice#User and user talk. So for now this request is answered as:
