Wikipedia:Requests for page protection
| Welcome—request protection of a page, file, or template here. | ||
|---|---|---|
|
Before requesting, read the protection policy. Full protection is used to stop edit warring between multiple users or to prevent vandalism to high-risk templates; semi-protection and pending changes are usually used to prevent IP and new user vandalism (see the rough guide to semi-protection); and move protection is used to stop pagemove revert wars. Extended confirmed protection is used where semi-protection has proved insufficient (see the rough guide to extended confirmed protection) After a page has been protected, it is listed in the page history and logs with a short rationale, and the article is listed on Special:Protectedpages. In the case of full protection due to edit warring, admins should not revert to specific versions of the page, except to get rid of obvious vandalism.
Request protection of a page, or increasing the protection level
Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level
Request a specific edit to a protected page
Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here | ||

Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement – Arbcom: India Pakistan articles. Heyaaaaalol (talk) 01:31, 15 December 2024 (UTC)
- Hi Heyaaaaalol, contrary to the very similarly named WP:ARBPIA, the WP:ARBIPA area has no automatic extended-confirmed protection. There has been some disruptive editing in the history of this article, but no recent incident. Is there a specific reason for requesting this today? ~ ToBeFree (talk) 03:01, 15 December 2024 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Persistent disruptive editing by various IPs. RachelTensions (talk) 08:36, 16 December 2024 (UTC)
Reason: Persistent addition of unsourced content by IP editor Ckfasdf (talk) 08:40, 16 December 2024 (UTC)
Extended confirmed protection: Persistent BLP violations – @NAUser0001 user Adding controversies content to the Muhammad Yunus article without independent and reliable sources. I told him/her on the talk page that Indian media sources can't be considered reliable and independent in controversial, defamatory issues. Add independent media sources like BBC, The New York Post, Washington Post, DW, Al Jazeera, etc., and international media sources for his/her claim. but not listening and reverting the edit again and again.

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Many Vandalism occurred in this article. RealStranger43286 (talk) 09:06, 16 December 2024 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – IPs repeatedly restoring the same unsourced/fake acting credit added by blocked user User:Bigboss19923 (and that user's sock User:Rustylad21). Belbury (talk) 09:52, 16 December 2024 (UTC)
Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Per WP:GSCASTE - IPs trying to peddle a fringe origin theory while removing academic views. - Ratnahastin (talk) 11:28, 16 December 2024 (UTC)
Current requests for reduction in protection level
Before posting, first discuss with the protecting admin on their talk page. Post below only if you receive no reply.
- To find out the username of the admin who protected the page, click on "history" at the top of the page, then click on "View logs for this page," which is under the title of the page. The protecting admin is the username in blue before the words "protected", "changed protection level" or "pending changes". If there are a number of entries on the log page, you might find it easier to select "Protection log" or "Pending changes log" from the dropdown menu in the blue box.
- Requests to downgrade full protection to template protection on templates and modules can be directed straight here; you do not need to ask the protecting admin first.
- Requests for removing create protection on redlinked articles are generally assisted by having a draft version of the intended article prepared beforehand.
- If you want to make spelling corrections or add uncontroversial information to a protected page, please add {{Edit fully-protected}} to the article's talk page, along with an explanation of what you want to add to the page. If the talk page is protected, please use the section below.
Check the archives if you cannot find your request. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.
Reason: Courcelles have not responded, please unprotect if reasonable. ミラへぜ (talk) (ping me!) 01:06, 16 December 2024 (UTC)
Reason: It hasn't been vandalised, and there are things that should be added, such as Lorena Andrea as part of the cast, although the movie has a big controversy because of Rachel Ziegler. 190.21.180.249 (talk) 06:00, 16 December 2024 (UTC)
- The talk page is not protected. And have you considered that a lack of vandalism might be because it's protected? Sumanuil. (talk to me) 06:12, 16 December 2024 (UTC)
Reason: Move protection was never really needed because there is no history of bad moves. Unprotection is needed because the page should be (uncontroversially) moved to match the sentence case of the other Merseyrail/Merseytravel and also to follow how Transport for London underground and overground lines are named. 10mmsocket (talk) 11:10, 16 December 2024 (UTC)
Current requests for edits to a protected page
Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here
Ideally, requests should be made on the article talk page rather than here.
- Unless the talk page itself is protected, you may instead add the appropriate template among
{{Edit protected}},{{Edit template-protected}},{{Edit extended-protected}}, or{{Edit semi-protected}}to the article's talk page if you would like to make a change rather than requesting it here. Doing so will automatically place the page in the appropriate category for the request to be reviewed. - Where requests are made due to the editor having a conflict of interest (COI; see Wikipedia:Suggestions for COI compliance), the
{{Edit COI}}template should be used. - Requests to move move-protected pages should be made at Wikipedia:Requested moves, not here.
- If the discussion page and the article are both protected preventing you from making an edit request, this page is the right place to make that request. Please see the top of this page for instructions on how to post requests.
- This page is not for continuing or starting discussions regarding content should both an article and its discussion page be protected. Please make a request only if you have a specific edit you wish to make.
Change 16,000 civilians (May 2024)[43] to 16,000 civilians (May 2024)[42]

- User talk:Soetermans
Why have you unreverted my revision of the Hayden Panettiere article? 81.152.221.213 (talk) 00:06, 16 December 2024 (UTC)
Automated comment: @81.152.221.213: This request cannot be parsed. Please ensure it follows formatting consistent with the current or previous methods of submission.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 00:27, 16 December 2024 (UTC)- @81.152.221.213. This is a page for requesting a specific edit to a protected page, particularly when the talk page is also protected, not for general enquiries. Discuss the change you want to make on the article talk page which is not protected. Malcolmxl5 (talk) 03:45, 16 December 2024 (UTC)
