Wikipedia:Requests for page protection

"WP:RFP" and "WP:RPP" redirect here. You may also be looking for Wikipedia:Requests for permissions, Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission, or Wikipedia:Random page patrol.

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 protection Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level Request unprotection Request a specific edit to a protected page Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here Request edit

Indefinite full protection: Content dispute/edit warring. ♠Devan Lallu ^Talk 13:29, 10 April 2021 (UTC)

Non-administrator comment: Why you requesting indefinite full protection in the article? I don't see any edit warring or content dispute from any users. In addition, full protection cannot be indefinite. Any admin, please decline this request because it doesn't know about full protection rule. 110.137.184.144 (talk) 13:35, 10 April 2021 (UTC)

Declined – No changes to the current protection level are required at this point in time. Favonian (talk) 14:33, 10 April 2021 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: for some reason, this page has been the target of persistent vandalism by a number of IP addresses. While I don’t think that this warrants indefinite protection, I do think it needs to be protected for a few weeks to drive them off. HelenDegenerate (talk) 21:12, 10 April 2021 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Socking and disruptive by one non-AC user. The page history is a mess and while a block is likely forthcoming protection would help too. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 22:24, 10 April 2021 (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.

Reason: Back when this article was protected, it was a featured article. That was in 2011. Hopefully, protection is no longer necessary now that 13+ years have passed. 2600:382:12B4:E73D:591C:E954:CAFE:4867 (talk) 16:45, 12 October 2024 (UTC)Wikipedia:Requests

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.

Israel–Hamas war

• Israel–Hamas war (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

I want to add a little information inside the template since houthi is already added on the Belligerents side i think we should add the casualties of the yemani also in the template same as egyptians or syrians especially those who died as resulted from isreali airstrike and according to those articles 20 July 2024 Israeli attack on Yemen and 29 September 2024 Israeli attacks on Yemen, the yemani casualties are 20 killed, and +147 injured 70.26.36.11 (talk) 03:48, 10 October 2024 (UTC)

1948 Palestinian expulsion and flight

• 1948 Palestinian expulsion and flight (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

In the second paragraph it states that "The desire to prevent the collapse of the Palestinians and to avoid more refugees were some of the reasons for the entry of the Arab League into the country, which began the 1948 Arab–Israeli War." It is absurd to characterize the invasion by the Arab league into Israel, which triggered the War of Independence as an "entry". The words "entry of" should be changed to "invasion by" which is supported by the source text and just about every other paper on the Israeli War of Independance. Apndrew (talk) 01:34, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

Gaza genocide

• Gaza genocide (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

My suggestion is to leave out the following 2 sentences in the "German complicity" paragraph as they seem to be based on misunderstandings:

"She also highlighted police suppression of pro-Palestine protests throughout Germany[509] as evidence of state complicity.[508] Karen Wells et al. highlight how Germany has entrenched its complicity in Israel's actions by banning use of the word "genocide" in reference to Israel.[471][better source needed]"

1. In general violent protests are not allowed in Germany. As some of the first pro-Palestine protests were violent, they were sometimes forbidden by courts, if they were expected to turn violent. But that is common policy in Gemany with all subjects and not special for pro-Palestine protests.

Meanwhile, there even is a calendar concerning pro-Palestinian protests[1] with daily up to 20 protests all over Germany. Thus, there is no general police suppression of pro-Palestine protests as is suggested by the current wording.

2. The word “genocide” is not banned in reference to Israel in Germany - maybe that was a misunderstanding: What is not allowed in Germany is to call for genocide against Jews. The slogan “From the river to the sea” is seen as such call and banned. Gilbert04 (talk) 15:34, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

Template:Country data Maldives

• Template:Country data Maldives (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Hello, I'm requesting to make some edits on Template:Country data Maldives. In the |link alias-air force=, You should change because it has a page now "MNDF Air Corps", Note: Do not add "Maldives Maldives Air Corps" because per https://mndf.gov.mv/mndf/en/org-structure.php?cmd=air-corps, the official name is "MNDF Air Corps", in that case you should change to link alias-air force = MNDF Air Corps. Also you should change link alias-marines = MNDF Marine Corps|Maldives Marine Corps to link alias-marines = MNDF Marine Corps because its official name is MNDF Marine Corps, not Maldives Marine Corps. And then link alias-coast guard = Maldivian Coast Guard should be changed to link alias-coast guard = MNDF Coast Guard, the same reason. Thanks. MAL MALDIVE (talk) 08:12, 12 October 2024 (UTC)
