    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.

    The Lorax (film)

    Reason: You can give this article some pending changes protection. I see a persistent amount of inappropriate humorous edits to this article (it is likely to be vandalism, but I am not sure) by IP editors, but I doubt that it is enough for semi-protection.

    I do not even know if it is protected or not, since when I add the template for a protection icon/banner, it shows me nothing, not even if the article has pending changes protection.

    The last time it was protected was from 18 May 2023 to 18 August 2023, and it could have had pending changes protection either in the meantime or after the expiration of the semi-protection. I do not know.

    In summary, to curb current disruptive editing by IP editors, I think pending changes protection (to review all edits by new and unregistered users before they are visible to everyone) should be applied to reduce the need to block IP addresses (and many different addresses are involved there too).

    Declined – No changes to the current protection level are required at this point in time. The article is already pending-changes protected (you cam see this via "view history", and then "view logs for this page". Lectonar (talk) 12:23, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Okay. Thank you. CarlFilip19 (talk) 12:24, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Reason: Repeated vandalism and disruptive editing of a BLP article over the past few days by numerous IP users. Sigma440 (talk) 12:35, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 12:39, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Pending-changes protected for a period of 3 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 12:39, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Manipuri–Burmese wars of 1717 to 1749

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – There has been a persistent effort to add WP:COPYVIO content to this page, which had to be revdeled repeatedly. It would be useful to put it under semi-protection and see if it helps. Kautilya3 (talk) 12:46, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 3 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. The insertion of copyrighted materiel occurs so frequently that semi-protection is warranted. Lectonar (talk) 13:29, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Current requests for reduction in protection level

    Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level
    Shortcuts

    Before posting, first discuss with the protecting admin at 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.

    Template:Her

    Reason: To create a redirect to Template:Their, similar to the existence of Template:His. — GMH Melbourne (talk) 03:35, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Request a specific edit to a protected page
    Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here
    Shortcut

    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.
