Template:Edit copy/doc

Purpose

An edit copy subpage is a subpage (often called ) of a page that is protected. Its content is originally a copy of its base page but it isn't protected. This allows all users to suggest their contributions in the subpage although they can't directly edit the base page. Admins should keep an eye on such subpages and copy any good suggestions to the base page. Note however that this template is not to be copied to the base page.

This template also adds the page to the Edit copy pages category in order to gather all edit copy subpages to be watched for.

Usage
This template is used without any parameters. It should be added at the very beginning of the edit copy subpage (not the base page).

To use this template, you can copy and paste the following code to the page you want to use it on.
