    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

    Mount Olympus

    This page is currently the subject of a "Doodle" on Google, and is being persistently vandalised by an IP user. Hallucegenia (talk) 07:18, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 36 hours, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Anarchyte (work | talk) 07:52, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Willows High School

    Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – vandalism. Joeykai (talk) 06:49, 3 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Just a drive by by one user, nothing since then ~ Amory (u • t • c) 14:26, 3 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    QAnon

    Extended confirmed protection: Persistent vandalism from otherwise dormant/pre-registered accounts; abnormally high level of off-wiki organizing (1, 2, 3, 4). Currently semi-protected until Sep 22, 2018. Adelsheim (talk) 10:36, 3 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Joint secretary to Government of India

    Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – This page has had a history of disruptive editing by a long-term abuser, User:Vrghs jacob and his various user and IP socks; the user tries to push his own agenda on Wikipedia, going against reliable sources and the encyclopaedia's manual of style and is also apparently not so welcoming of Indians. As the concerned page has been semi-protected a bunch of times already, an indefinite semi-protection may well be in order.
    Regards, SshibumXZ (Talk) (Contributions). 10:44, 3 August 2018 (UTC); edited 10:45, 3 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Edit — More vandalism, diffs:- [1]; [2]; [3]; [4]; [5]; and [6]. I have got stuff to do now, so, I would like to kindly request the protecting-admin to first revert his edits, too.

    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.

    Psycho Killer (video game)

    Unprotection: Found sources to prove notability. I already asked the protecting admin, and got a response from a non-admin. Thanks. The Duke of NonsenseWhat is necessary for thee?. 17:02, 29 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    The protecting admin is still pretty active. I'd like to hear from him first. Enigmamsg 20:17, 29 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    Pinging @BU Rob13: Fish+Karate 12:26, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    I don’t recall being asked. I would say draft it in draftspace and then ping me to unsalt. I’d like to see that the AfD rationales are addressed before unsalting. ~ Rob13Talk 14:46, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    It's in your most recent talk archive. Enigmamsg 15:20, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Template:AdultFilm db name

    Reduction in move-protection level: Please change move-protection for this template from "sysop" to "template editor" (or lower). This was added at the same time that edit-protection was set to "autoconfirmed". The protecting admin is mostly inactive, with two edits in 2018. Thanks. -- Zyxw (talk) 21:05, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    @Zyxw: that's quite a widely transcluded template (699 transclusions). Why would you need to be able to move it? Fish+Karate 12:28, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    @Fish and karate: 700 isn't too much, and haven't we been reducing sysop template protection to template editor over the years as more are found? I don't see any reason to not reduce this one, but I'm also interested in why the prospect of moving it was mentioned. Anarchyte (work | talk) 08:10, 3 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    @Anarchyte: The template is only semi-protected for editing. Zyxw wants the move protection reducing. Fish+Karate 08:31, 3 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    @Fish and karate: Oh, my bad! I still don't think reducing it is an issue, but it's your decision. Anarchyte (work | talk) 08:44, 3 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    Why would it need moving is my question. Fish+Karate 08:46, 3 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    YouTube

    Unprotection: Was protected for eight years. Protecting admin refused to delete here. Plenty of edit requests have been filed recently, and their merits can't be easily judged. I'm requesting unprotection to see whether pending changes could be used, or if semi-protection should remain. wumbolo ^^^ 16:01, 3 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    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.

    Handled requests

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