    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

    Place requests for new or upgrading pending changes, semi-protection, full protection, move protection, create protection, template editor protection, or upload protection at the BOTTOM of this section. Check the archive of fulfilled and denied requests or, failing that, the page history if you cannot find your request. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – I've been reverting again and again with a couple of IP's, pointing out to WP:GAMEGUIDE and WP:VGSCOPE has not worked so far. Soetermans. T / C 10:18, 16 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. NeilN talk to me 14:17, 17 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protection: High level of IP vandalism. Currently, an IP hopping editor placing in "Disney a Owned Governments" section and proclaiming Hong Kong is owned by Disney. But other disruptive edits too since beginning of the month. Spshu (talk) 17:20, 16 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – To prevent spoilers, whether true or false. Protection effective until the show's finale has aired in all U.S. time zones. Greggens (talk) 18:05, 16 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Disruptive and unsourced edits. Qed237 (talk) 19:47, 16 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    Pending changes: Vandalism, although there were some good edits too. 115.188.198.32 (talk) 03:26, 17 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Persistent edit-warring over birth year, which is 1982 per college yearbook source. Binksternet (talk) 04:36, 17 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent WP:Disruptive editing and WP:Edit warring by 143.176.216.29 (talk · contribs · WHOIS). Same person who used the 143.176.62.228 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) IP and was repeatedly blocked for WP:Disruptive editing and WP:Edit warring with regard to age disparity. Flyer22 (talk) 08:10, 17 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    • I request full protection, because the 'editwar' is started by the person that made this request. So far there have been 2 reverts, so there is doubt that there is even an editwar at all. There is no WP:Disruptive editing by the IP, but the threats and false accustistions made by flyer (about sockpuppets) are disruptive.143.176.216.29 (talk) 08:13, 17 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    User(s) blocked. Callanecc (talkcontribslogs) 08:21, 17 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Thank you, Callanecc. The edit history clearly shows that he was reverted by three different editors. I still feel that the article should be WP:Semi-protected for at least two months, though. This person does not give up, as his editing at the Age disparity in sexual relationships article and its talk page show. Also see past commentary at the User talk:143.176.62.228. Flyer22 (talk) 08:31, 17 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Given it's just one person I'd rather focus on blocking the IP rather than protecting a page and preventing everyone else from editing it. The IP (given how long it took for it to change last time) is fairly stale so can be managed that way. I'd suggest disengaging from their talk page though.

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. I dream of horses (T) @ 11:17, 17 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    User(s) blocked. Pending-changes protected for a period of one month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Callanecc (talkcontribslogs) 11:22, 17 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    Indefinite full protection: Inappropriate use of user talk page while blocked. —JAaron95 Talk 11:33, 17 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of one week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. No need for indef full, it's only new accounts we're trying to stop editing the page. Callanecc (talkcontribslogs) 11:39, 17 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks @Callanec: One more please.. 985M. Regards—JAaron95 Talk 11:43, 17 September 2015 (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.

    Fulfilled/denied requests

    A rolling archive of the last seven days of protection requests can be found at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection/Rolling archive.
