Requests for page protection

Shortcuts: WP:RFPP WP:RFP WP:RPP WP:PADLOCK

This page is for requesting that a page, image or template be fully protected, create protected (salted), semi-protected, move-protected, or unprotected. Please read up on the protection policy. Full protection is used to stop edit warring between multiple users or to prevent vandalism to high-risk templates; semi-protection is usually used only to prevent IP and new user vandalism (see the rough guide to semi-protection); and move protection is used to stop pagemove revert wars.

After a page has been protected, the protection is listed in the page history and logs with a short description indicating why it was protected, and the article is listed on Special:Protectedpages. Further discussion should take place on the Talk page of the article. In the case of full protection due to edit warring, admins do not revert back to specific versions of the page, except to get rid of obvious vandalism.

Instructions

If you would like to request a page to be protected or unprotected, please follow the following steps:

If you are requesting unprotection, it is almost always a good idea to ask the protecting admin first before listing a page here.
Add a level 4 header (i.e. ==== {{lx|Example}} ====, where "x" stands for the namespace) at the TOP of either the protection or unprotection list and place one of the templates from the table below within the header. Please make sure you have spelled the name of the article properly; a common error stems from mistaken requests for the protection of redirects, particularly capitalised ones.
If you are requesting protection, place the type of request (full protection, semi-protection, move protection) and a brief reason for your request below your header.
Please do not add arbitrary requests for a protection expiry time to your request, or request indefinite protection arbitrarily.
- If there is a reason for a page to be protected for a certain amount of time, such as protecting a usertalk page until the user is unblocked, please make this clear.
- If you are requesting indefinite semi-protection, be aware that it is only applied to articles with endemic and endless vandalism problems which multiple increasing periods of temporary semi-protection have failed to stop.
- Note that different expiry times can now be set for edit and move-protections, so an article can, for example, be semi-edit-protected for a week and full-move-protected indefinitely.
Sign your request with four tildes ~~~~ and save.

Note: this is not a venue for continuing an argument from elsewhere. If a request contains excessive arguing, is being used for edit-warring or content disputes, contains personal attacks or uncivil comments, or any other unrelated discussion, it will be removed from this page.

[edit] Current requests for protection

Place requests for semi-protection, full protection, move protection, or create protection at the TOP of this section. Check the list of denied requests if you cannot find your request. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.

[edit] 2011–12 Serie A `(`edit`|`talk`|`history`|`links`|`watch`|`logs`)`

Temporary semi-protection: Content dispute turned disruptive editing. What started as a content dispute has turned into disruptive editing by an floating-IP user after consensus on the matter was established against his position. The anon-user has continued disrupting the article spouting non-sensical and baseless rationale. Hopefully it'll pass.

[edit] Academy Award for Best Actress `(`edit`|`talk`|`history`|`links`|`watch`|`logs`)`

Temporary semi-protection Multiple GF edits, but many IPs are confusing the award with Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. Tbhotch.^™ Grammatically incorrect? Correct it! See terms and conditions. 17:25, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Roger Federer career statistics `(`edit`|`talk`|`history`|`links`|`watch`|`logs`)`

Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – I wasn't sure whether to call it content dispute or vandalism. User Praline97 is going against tennis project consensus and guidelines by continually adding the same charts. Yes I wanted to add/edit some other things to the page but I can wait and maybe protection from all editing for 3 days will stop this fellow from adding minor tournament charts and flagicons to established charts. If it doesn't work.... I'll have to get admins to step in and give a hand slap. Fyunck(click) (talk) 05:30, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Columbo `(`edit`|`talk`|`history`|`links`|`watch`|`logs`)`

Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring. Mt king ^(edits) 04:31, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Current requests for unprotection

Shortcuts: WP:RFUP WP:RFPU WP:RUP

If you simply want to make spelling corrections or add information to a protected page that is not disputed, and you are not involved in any disputes there, consider simply adding {{Editprotected}} to the article's talk page, along with an explanation of what you want to add to the page. See the list of current {{Editprotected}} requests.

If you want an existing page unprotected, please try to ask the protecting admin first before making a request here.

Check here if you cannot find your request. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.
