Wikipedia:Requests for page protection
| 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 | ||

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Page has received an influx of edits due to the album not being released (pop culture suggests fans believe it will never arrive) – requesting temporary semi-protect and a full revert of all the non-constructive edits. Seba5tien (talk/contribs) 06:21, 30 July 2016 (UTC)
Create protection: Repeatedly recreated. Persistent sockpuppetry. Linguist 111 talk 06:58, 30 July 2016 (UTC)
Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – A lot of new editors try to edit this as their online profile - I don't believe semi protection will prevent many constructive edits. Pending changes may be useful here. -- samtar talk or stalk 08:16, 30 July 2016 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content - Initial page author being overly protective of page, despite not providing sources to back up assertions; current edit tags all unsourced assertions while still acknowledging the "township" status issue. isagani (talk) 08:33, 30 July 2016 (UTC)

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.
- 2016–17 UEFA Champions League qualifying phase and play-off round (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Temporary pending changes: Persistent vandalism – Pending changes level 1 may be better. 333-blue 08:06, 28 July 2016 (UTC)
- @333-blue: Could you elucidate please? The vandalism level was high enough to warrant semiprotection. Lectonar (talk) 12:16, 28 July 2016 (UTC)
- I don't know...maybe PC1 would have been okay, as most of those redlinks are editors with hundreds or thousands of edits. Want to hear what Swarm says, though I see he's on a bit of a break. No hurry here. Katietalk 15:28, 28 July 2016 (UTC)
Unprotection: No transclusions, probably deprecated (report). Eyesnore 21:50, 28 July 2016 (UTC)
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.
I wanted to suggest something in the talk page for Anita Sarkeesian, however it's locked so here it is. I'd like to see the question discussed in the talk page:
I've examined all the provided references and I find the sentence:
The Tropes vs Women project triggered a campaign of sexist harassment against Sarkeesian
problematic. There is no doubt that she was subject to harassment, but the term 'sexist' is inappropriate and implies motive which has not been established. The sources themselves make the assumption that it's gender based ... but we've seen numerous examples where men with the same views as Sarkessian have been subject to similar harassment (if not at the same level) and it isn't because of their gender.
