    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

    Temporary full-protection: Article is in technical move problem made by Ghianangel112 (talk · contribs). User is keeping on reverting edits without proper history. Article needs to be deleted to be fixed with the proper history. Please fix this issue by protecting or deleting. SeanJ 2007 (talk) 12:28, 20 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

    Extended confirmed protection: A single user, JimmyCrow, has continued to vandalize this article by reverting every attempt to clean the page of their original vandalism. As you can see in the article's edit history, this user continuously changes language and date formats from the published standards of the article. I requested semi-protection for the article yesterday due to several random IPs making the exact same vandalism, but this user is still able to vandalize the page and has continued to make the same vandalism as the IPs, which suggests sockpuppetry. I don't know if this user is an extended confirmed editor, but I am out of ideas at this point. I have posted a vandalism notice on their talk page three times now—most recently on March 19—but the user simply blanks their talk page and copies the exact same warning on my talk page (I deleted the vandalism, so please check the edit history). Nothing has worked, and the vandalism continues to happen. Any help would be appreciated. Anwegmann (talk) 23:15, 20 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

    @Anwegmann: This is a content dispute and edit warring. So it needs to be reported via ANEW or AIV. 36.69.52.139 (talk) 23:46, 20 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    I just saw your report. I appreciate it. Anwegmann (talk) 00:16, 21 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

    Istanbul Convention

    Temporary semi-protection: I and some users are adding sourced information to improve the article. But especially IPs in Turkey add unproductive or unsourced information. Therefore, as you can see in the article history, I and the rollbackers makes great efforts for these (with the summaries of edits). These IP edits will be able to continue because it is a current issue in Turkey's politics. Therefore, wars of edits are likely to continue. I wouldn't have wanted to make request the protect for this article that I edit/revert the it but IPs in Turkey don't recognize us another chance. Regards. (I signed out while making edit Sorry for my mistake. Dear admins can hide my IP?) See Special:Diff/1013358752 Uncitoyen (talk) 05:25, 21 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

    Mass shooting

    Semi-protection: High level of edit-warring by IP users in regards to including a lengthy list of perpetrators'/suspects' names in prose, when links to such lists are already available and easily seen. Love of Corey (talk) 06:06, 21 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

    2021 Atlanta spa shootings

    Temporary semi-protection: Disruptive behavior from IPs/new users has gotten to the point of making not having a lock a net negative to the page. Egregious examples include page blanking and claiming without evidence that the mass shooter was Muslim. AllegedlyHuman (talk) 08:25, 21 March 2021 (UTC)[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.

    Craig Kelly (politician)

    Reduction in protection level: From semi protection to pending changes protection. My understanding is that this would allow all people to make changes but would still maintain a level of protection against vandalism etc. for this controversial crossbencher. This kind of protection has been in use on other politicians' pages such as Joe Hockey's for years with success. Thank you for your consideration. 159.196.100.171 (talk) 21:41, 19 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

    Just unprotect it. The last edit to the article was on February 25. No history of problems in well over a month. Nsk92 (talk) 14:52, 20 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    @ Orderinchaos last edited several days ago. Let's give them an opportunity to respond first -FASTILY 02:54, 21 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    They didn't respond to me and posted on the Australian project's message board something to the effect of "can someone else please take care of this request", so I felt free to take my request further. --159.196.100.171 (talk) 07:30, 21 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

    If the admin didn't listen to you,then protest my fellow Indians. We have to come out of this useless Islamic organization man... If we won't do it, it will be a shame

    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.
