    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

    The Reason (Hoobastank song)

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – IP hopping genre warrior. - Mlpearc (open channel) 23:10, 13 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Ad Orientem (talk) 23:50, 13 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    I disagree. I've removed the page from my watchlist, maybe you can watch it. Cheers, - Mlpearc (open channel) 23:54, 13 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Ottawa Senators

    Temporary full protection: Persistent vandalism – When Toronto Maple Leafs play Ottawa Senators, which is happening this weekend and next, there is regular vandalism. Alaney2k (talk) 00:01, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. We don't preemptively protect pages. If the vandalism picks up, feel free to come back. Ad Orientem (talk) 00:11, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Template:Infobox badminton player

    Infinite semi protection WP:HRT, about 1,800 links. --218.102.34.64 (talk) 02:25, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Boeing 737

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Same vandal from the past few weeks, changing the aircraft as supersonic. McSly (talk) 02:47, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 3 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 03:44, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Kero Kero Bonito

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – There is a meme going around involving the lead singer (Sarah Midori Perry) being nicknamed "Crusher." The page had to be fixed a dozen times today.

    Please protect it for a week or more. That, hopefully, will be enough time for the meme to die down. KNHaw (talk) 03:50, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Kate Smurthwaite

    Persistent vandalism throughout 2016, 33 times by multiple unregistered users, 14 times by 4 SPAs (one SPA nominating the page for deletion, which was overwhelmingly rejected), one long vandalism edit war in February 2016. In 2014 and 2015, the constructive edits from unregistereds outnumbered the disruptive ones (2014: 3 to 1; 2015: 9 to 2), but this balance was overturned in 2016 (7 to 33). I'm not sure if semi-protection will solve the problem, because some vandals simply create an SPA. Also, most disruptive edits are reverted the same day, the page is relatively well-guarded. However, according to my calculation, 52 of the total of 232 or 22.4% of all edits are vandalism, which is far above the average of 5%. Interested in your opinion.

    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.

    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.
