Revision as of 10:34, 12 June 2018

    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

    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

    World Seniors Championship

    Temporary semi-protection: There is an ongoing edit-war between two anonymous editors at the above articles. The only discussion as far as I can tell is at my talk page (where I have been mistaken for an admin): User_talk:Betty_Logan#Vandalism_on_the_Seniors_World_Championship_site. However, I think semi-protection for these three articles would allow things to cool down and encourage meaningful discussion on the talk pages. I am a member of the snooker project so if one of them doesn't start the discussion I will, but we need some article stability first. Betty Logan (talk) 22:56, 10 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 10:22, 12 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The determination will come on 13 June 2018 so please lock until noon UTC on that date. I can't imagine any further changes need to be applied here between now and then (that don't involved one of the two ongoing edit wars). Walter Görlitz (talk) 03:18, 12 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Nirmal Baby Varghese (Editor)

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Two IPs that geolocate to the same location are performing bad-faith removals of AfD and speedy deletion tags. Might be the article creator editing while logged out but I can't tell. Drm310 🍁 (talk) 04:39, 12 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Not done - the AFD and speedy tags got removed once, got restored, IP hasn't removed it again and is instead adding references to the article, which is a good thing. Fish+Karate 10:21, 12 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protection: The link to the article was posted on some videogame community page on Reddit and now it's being constantly vandalized by various IPs posting unrelated trivia about some funny Youtube video or something like that. 193.34.160.162 (talk) 07:46, 12 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    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


    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.
