==How to use==
{{mbox|text=Are you here because you have a [[WP:COI|conflict of interest]] or are a [[WP:PAID|paid editor]]?  The [[WP:Edit Request Wizard|Edit Request Wizard]] may be all you need.}}
Go to the article's Talk page and click the <code>Add topic</code> tab.{{efn|name=tabs|On certain skins of Wikipedia, this tab will show up as <code>New Section</code>}} Add and fill in the following:

{{ pre | width = 40em |
{{ tl1 |edit COI}}
* Specific text to be added or removed: {{ kbd |ADD TEXT HERE|style=background-color: #c6c6c4; color: red; }}
* Reason for the change: {{ kbd |ADD TEXT HERE| style = background-color: #c6c6c4; color: red; }}
* References supporting change: {{ kbd |ADD URL AT LEAST| style = background-color: #c6c6c4; color: red; }}
<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>
 }}

In further detail:
# <code>Add topic</code>{{efn|name=tabs}} on the talk page, with a subject like <code>Some proposed changes</code> 
# In the large empty text area, type <nowiki>{{edit COI}}</nowiki> (do not indent the template with <code>:</code> or <code>*</code><!--It causes a Linter syntax error-->)
# Underneath this, write out the ''specific'' changes you want made to the article. Volunteers are less likely to respond to unclear or open-ended requests. Using {{tlc|TextDiff |1{{=}}Existing text |2{{=}}Your proposed text}} here will help make your intent clear.
# At the end, sign the post using four tildes: <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>
# Click on the <code>Show preview</code> button and have a look to make sure the request appears the way you want it to
# If you wish to make any corrections or additions, you may do so in the edit box below the preview (scroll down to see this box); preview your post as many times as you wish, and when you are satisfied, click on the <code>Publish changes</code> button

===Request options===
{{tld|edit COI}} = {{tl|edit COI/request}} for requested edits. Post on the article talk page, in a thread that describes the edit to be made. The template automatically adds the request to [[Template:Request_edit/COIinstructions#Current requested edits|the list]] of edits requested and [[:Category:Wikipedia conflict of interest edit requests]].

{{tld|edit COI | R}} = {{tl|edit COI/significant}} same function as <nowiki>{{edit COI}}</nowiki> – use for more substantial changes.

{{tld|edit COI | N}} = {{tl|edit COI/new}} for new editors.

==Response options==
*{{tld|edit COI | A}} = {{tl|edit COI/accepted}} for accepted edits that have been implemented; adds the request to [[:Category:Implemented requested edits]] (the template also accepts {{para|answered|yes}} or {{para|ans|yes}})
*{{tld|edit COI | G}} = {{tl|edit COI/proceed}} for allowing the COI editor to directly implement the requested edits to article themselves.
*{{tld|edit COI | P | [see below] }} = {{tl|edit COI/partial}} for partially completed requests adds the request to [[:Category:Partially implemented requested edits]]
*{{tld|edit COI | D | [see below] }} = {{tl|edit COI/declined}} for declined request; adds the request to [[:Category:Declined requested edits]]

===Additional parameters===
When declining a request, either using <code>P</code> or <code>D</code>, an optional second parameter can be given to further explain why the request was declined (for example, {{tlc|edit COI|P|ADV}} for a partial-block decline for advertising). The additional text values are given below.
;<code>ADV</code>: Some or all of the changes may be promotional in tone.
;<code>V</code>:Some or all of the changes weren't supported by neutral, independent, reliable sources. Consider re-submitting with content based on media, books and scholarly works.
;<code>O</code>:The suggested edits are good, but the reviewer felt omissions in the content may create balance issues.
;<code>R</code>:The changes suggested removing content that is well-cited or where sources exist.
;<code>D</code>:The reviewer would like to request the editor with a COI attempt to discuss with editors engaged in the subject-area first.
;<code>S</code>: The request was not specific enough. You may consider leaving your comments on the Talk page or escalating significant issues to the  [[Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard|conflict of interest noticeboard]].
;<code>T</code>:A reviewer felt that this edit would not improve the article. 
;<code>C</code>:A consensus could not be reached.
;<code>''custom rationale''</code>:''Adds a custom rationale supplied by the editor''
