    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

    BT Group

    Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – Multiple users continue to remove the {{copyvio}} notice on this page. I think it needs to be protected until such time as an admin, clerk or OTRS agent can resolve the copyvio issues. . Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 05:33, 21 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    To be honest, I do not see what the problem is.--Ymblanter (talk) 11:11, 21 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    @Ymblanter: with the page or with the page history? Happy to help explain.... --Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 22:33, 21 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    I see that there was something happening on 18 November, which might or might not have merited full protection, then there was nothing for three days, and I see three edits on 21 November, which clearly do not constitute edit-warring, and the page is behind the copyvio template anyway. My guess is that protection is not needed at this point. (I am going to bed right now, and leave another administrator to decide).--Ymblanter (talk) 22:39, 21 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Koniuchy massacre

    Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring. wumbolo ^^^ 22:09, 21 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Note: As of 03:50, 22 November 2018 (UTC) it looks like this might have paused with a discussion on the talk page and user's "self-reverting" to stop the edit war. We should keep an eye on this, but if it stays quiet protection shouldn't be needed. Mifter (talk) 03:50, 22 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Dummy Boy

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent changes of sourced content by various IPs following the artist's arrest and the album's postponement. Ss112 04:03, 22 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Mifter (talk) 17:36, 22 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    List of radio stations in Central Luzon

    Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – To protect this article from disruptive editing and adding hoax information. Myrabert01 (talk) 13:22, 22 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. AlexiusHoratius 15:47, 22 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    User(s) blocked. Mifter (talk) 17:50, 22 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Montgolfier brothers

    Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Persistent vandalism and once the whole page was blanked by an IP. Denim11 (talk) 16:02, 22 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    User(s) blocked. Mifter (talk) 17:52, 22 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    List of Social Distortion band members

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Persistent timeline changes w/o consensus. - FlightTime (open channel) 16:51, 22 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Warn the user appropriately then report them to AIV or ANI if they continue. Mifter (talk) 17:57, 22 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Elmo Saves Christmas

    Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Regular vandalism by IPs including the sock of a blocked user. Lard Almighty (talk) 18:10, 22 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Donald Trump

    Temporary full protection: Being hit by compromised accounts. Home Lander (talk) 18:31, 22 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    User(s) blocked. It was one compromised account, which has been blocked. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:42, 22 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    I thought there were two hacked accounts there. funplussmart (talk) 18:43, 22 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    Muboshgu, there have been at least two accounts, multiple are being breached by the same vandal. Home Lander (talk) 18:46, 22 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    Which? I only see one. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:53, 22 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    They were GrantyO and Radomil. funplussmart (talk) 18:55, 22 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    Full protection still seems like overkill to me, for an article being so cloaley watched by admins. But if another admin here disagrees, that's fine. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:10, 22 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    We've just lost Frankie0607. Maybe we should fully protect until the attack stops. funplussmart (talk) 20:21, 22 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – The talk page has not had a valuable contribution from an unconfirmed user in a long time. Could go for a 6-month to 1-year or so semi rather than indefinite. Izno (talk) 19:09, 22 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    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.

    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.

    Create a level 3 header with a link to the article in question, then a {{Pagelinks}} template and then the reason. It looks like this: Example (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) your request here. ~~~~
