    Welcome—request protection of a page, file, or template here.
    Shortcuts

    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

    Current requests for increase in protection level

    Current requests for reduction in 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.

    Unprotect for this shit. BULLSHIT DICKTWAD

    Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals

    Temporary semi-protection: Article is woefully out of date after today's news of Trump ending DACA. Semi-protection would allow confirmed editors to make improvements. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:50, 5 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Now I am making a request. The article is too out of date and there is no reason why it shouldn't be updated.JoetheMoe25 (talk) 17:56, 5 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    I vote for extended confirmed protection, at least for the time being. Funcrunch (talk) 18:00, 5 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    Extended confirmed protection would be great. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:38, 5 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    I say keep up to date with the facts, like by sourcing the story reported here about the repeal http://www.cnn.com/2017/09/05/politics/congress-reaction-daca-end-jeff-sessions-donald-trump/index.html.JoetheMoe25 (talk) 18:02, 5 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    • Comment from involved administrator (I edited through the protection to add the recent news): I endorse the proposal to decrease the protection, with the proviso that if even ONE person resumes the edit warring about undocumented-vs.-illegal, then full protection would be restored. --MelanieN (talk) 20:45, 5 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    Pinging User:Samsara, the protecting administrator, who should be the one to make this call. --MelanieN (talk) 20:52, 5 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Current requests for edits to a protected page

    Further information: Wikipedia:Edit requests
    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.
