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

Reason: Aggressive vandalism going on BlameRuiner (talk) 13:52, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
User(s) blocked. The accounts in question have been targeting a large number of pages; protection won't work well in this case. They have already been blocked, though if they come back, please report to AIV. Complex/Rational 14:37, 21 June 2024 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: BLP Policy Violations. Brazil based LTA is persistently changing the birth date of the topic to what contradicts sources, using multiple IP's. The most simple solution for this chronic issue would be to indefinetely semi-protect the article to prevent further BLP violations. TylerBurden (talk) 13:53, 21 June 2024 (UTC)

Reason: High IP vandalism on this page. One IP 2409* is very disruptive. RangersRus (talk) 14:50, 21 June 2024 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Return of the IP-hopping editor adding swathes of contested and unsourced material. Due to several IP addresses being used, protection is probably better than blocks. Chaheel Riens (talk) 15:02, 21 June 2024 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Ae245 (talk) 16:23, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
Semi-protected for a period of 2 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 16:29, 21 June 2024 (UTC)

Reason: Content dispute resurfaced from 2016. Previously benefitted from protection preventing non-AC users from splitting into a stand alone article. Subject has attracted IP hopper to subject's talk page with odd reasoning for wanting to create the article. Rain the 1 16:32, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
Current requests for reduction in protection level
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.

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.
