Doesn't make any sense, WP:AN is not the place to post a request for an edit. I presume this intended for requesting edits to protected pages, which is supposed to be done on the protected articles talk page. Bundling Requested edits into this for the exact same reason.

 * So redirect it to a better location? Richard001 (talk) 23:33, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Comment. Explanations of edit requests and how and when to make them appear to be currently split between Category:Wikipedia protected edit requests, Template:Edit protected and Suggestions for COI compliance (and possibly elsewhere too). It would be far better to have a centralised overview page at one of these titles (with the other redirecting to it) linking to more detailed instructions at the existing pages. I'll drop a note about this at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Policy and Guidelines. Thryduulf (talk) 00:44, 21 May 2011 (UTC)
 * There's also Template:Request edit (for COI edit requests). I agree with Thryduulf, let's have a centralised page (and move the detailed instructions out of Template:Edit protected - just point people to the new page, which should be Edit requests as it's the more common and more general term). That page can then distinguish the uses of Template:Edit protected (where the page is protected) and Template:Request edit (for COI issues), as well as covering all the bits of advice on whether/how to do it.

 * Well, I've had a crack at it: Edit requests. Any comments? Rd232 talk 03:55, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Maybe it should be a Help: page? (Or maybe not, I've never really understood how we choose whether something goes into helpspace or projectspace.) But it's a nice handy info sheet for newer users. / ƒETCH COMMS  /  00:59, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Generally looks good, I've made one suggestion on the talk page, which is where comments about improving it (or moving it to the help namespace) should happen. Thryduulf (talk) 16:32, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
