Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – It seems she is leaving WWE[1] but IP users continuously add unsourced/unconfirmed stuff to the article, plus BLP violation and vandalism like [2][3][4]. The article needs 1 week semi-protection for confirming news from reliable sources about her departure and the related details. Mann Mann (talk) 03:18, 16 August 2023 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 7 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 04:56, 16 August 2023 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – A dozen reversions of vandalism by IPs in just the last 30 days; long history of vandalism. Grorp (talk) 06:25, 16 August 2023 (UTC)

Pending-changes protected for a period of 3 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Disruption not heavy enough to warrant semi-protection. Lectonar (talk) 07:38, 16 August 2023 (UTC)

@Lectonar: I didn't realize the pending-changes protection was added right before I semi-protected the article, but the level of disruption seems substantial and relentless since the page was unprotected. If you want to undo my change or revise it, feel free. I'm looking some more at the page history now. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 07:50, 16 August 2023 (UTC)

Semi-protected indefinitely. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 07:39, 16 August 2023 (UTC)

@Daniel Quinlan: indefinite semi-protection for an article with no great protection log, and not very heavy editing activity? Lectonar (talk) 07:46, 16 August 2023 (UTC)

@Lectonar: I see 26 reversions since the page was unprotected June 8th, but only 8 in the preceding 2 years while it was semi-protected. Prior to that, it was protected several times with some hidden edits as well. I suspect pending-changes will produce at least as many disruptive edits (I've seen cases where disruptive edits actually increase in number with pending-changes turned on). If you think pending changes is the better option, we can try it out and see how it goes. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 07:58, 16 August 2023 (UTC)

@Daniel Quinlan: I have seen the oppsite...pending-changes protection produces frustration with the vandals, as the edit does not go "live" immediately (so I do not see real disruption there, it's just one more click to revert), so people tend to give up. Anyway, in cases like these I use pending-changes protection for some months; I watchlist, and try to evaluate if the the article needs semi-protection. Lectonar (talk) 08:19, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
