    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

    List of current National Football League stadiums

    Temporary semi-protection: High level of IP vandalism. The page clearly states that it is citing the smallest full-time NFL stadium, which is Soldier Field, and an anonymous editor keeps on changing it toOakland Coliseum which is shared with the MLB. Maybe a semi-protection for a few weeks will chase these anonymous editors away. Jdavi333 (talk) 02:05, 17 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    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.

    List of social networking websites

    Indefinite semi-protection: There's no reason why an article should be indefinitely fully protected. If it must be protected indefinitely, then either semi, 30/500, or PC2. —cyberpowerChat:Limited Access 18:57, 15 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Paging Kudpung. Kudpung to aisle 3. Katietalk 20:47, 15 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    @KrakatoaKatie:. If Cyberpower678 is prepared to find time to watch the article round the clock and be sure to remove the constant stream unwanted additions to it, then I have no objection to it being unprotected. Perhaps a review of its history and talkk page archives will help to understand the situation. . Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 01:41, 16 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    Glancing over it, it would seem the biggest problem is that people keep adding non-notable/unsourced social networking sites. Looking closer at edit requests, those that get approved, are experienced editors, while those that don't, are new/anon editors. I would say 30/500 protection is sufficient for not having to deal with reviewing edits, and that PC2 is sufficient if we want to enable reviewing edits.—cyberpowerChat:Online 01:51, 16 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    Well, we can do neither of those for this article as it stands now. The options are you watch it and revert the disruptive edits, or we leave it as is. Up to you. Katietalk 01:58, 16 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    Wasn't PC2 approved for use at some point? I occasionally see my bot tagging articles with the PC2 tag.—cyberpowerChat:Limited Access 03:38, 16 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    It's enabled technically, but there's no consensus how to use it. There's a newish RFC about it that's not drawing any interest but I think that's because nobody knows about it. Katietalk 16:56, 16 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    I would pefer 30/500 protection instead of other protections, I currently can't edit on 30/500 because of a low edit count. KGirlTrucker87 (talk) 01:44, 17 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    So why can't we use 30/500 protection? It seems like the perfect protection level to keep this article in check.—cyberpowerChat:Offline 05:07, 17 April 2016 (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.
