An editor requesting a change to a semi-protected page, for example, would add the {{tl|editsemiprotected}} template, followed by their request, to the Talk page. The {{tlc|editsemiprotected}} template expands to a texty notice which includes the instruction "Replace the {{tlc|editsemiprotected}} template with {{tlc|tlf|editsemiprotected}} when the request has been accepted or rejected."
