I can't edit c:Template:Anon-check-links yet due to "You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reason: ... This page is currently protected, and can be edited only by administrators." It has been protected with "[edit=sysop] (indefinite)" since 2012. c:Special:ListGroupRights confirms that as the member of group "Template editors" I have the "templateeditor" right. ~~~~
@Jeff_G that's because the template is still fully protected. You can only edit pages that are template protected. See the current list.
