Hi!

Lately a lot of users have been really helpful about updating some templates and other technicalities on this wikia, and they've given many great suggestions. However, to avoid bad edits the admins can not open the templates up to all users. But because we still want to give the option to edit templates, we've decided to reintroduce TemplateGate.

TemplateGate is a procedure where good editors get permission from admins to edit a specific template. An admin will unlock the template temporarely, allowing the user to edit. Then the admin woudl follow up on the changes made, and re-lock the template again.

It would enable people who have a suggestion about a template-adjustment to edit those templates, without exposing the templates and risking bad edits. In order to be given a TemplateGate, you'd have to have discussed the suggestion on the suggestions forum. Then you can request a TemplateGate with me, or the other admins. If we agree with the proposition, you will be able to edit the template accordingly to your suggestion.

I hope you guys will use this option, and I hope it heps to execute many of the great ideas for improvement you have :) My message wall is open if you have any requests.

Kind Regards,

Taya
