See also the userscripts editProtectedHelper and COI Request Tool.

Also, is covid-19 really an applicable tag here? I believe that this is relating to the protected/COI edit templates, correct? If so, it's not solely related to COVID-19, and the tag should be removed, in my opinion.

Aklapper changed the subtype of this task from "Task" to "Feature Request".

It's unclear what this is asking for, and the link goes to a talk page instead. What's there to "close", after which steps?
@kaldari, @Abit: Does anyone know (or remember)?

It appears this task is proposing that a new workflow be introduced that makes it possible for people to mark an edit request [i] as being resolved/addressed/etc. without needing to know about or interact with wikitext.

There is a user script that does this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Jackmcbarn/editProtectedHelper (I've never tried it myself).
