    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

    User talk:Sro23

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry. Amaury (talk | contribs) 07:58, 23 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Though it isn't necessary, I'd just like to ping Sro23 to make sure he's fine with his talk being protected for 24-48 hours. Anarchyte (work | talk) 09:48, 23 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    @Anarchyte: If Sro23 passed RfA, they could do it themselves, of course. — fortunavelut luna 11:32, 23 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    Hi. The vandalism looks to be over so I don't think it's needed. Sro23 (talk) 13:51, 23 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Danilo (footballer, born 1991)

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – A lot of IP vandalism after protection expired. JMHamo (talk) 10:56, 23 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – Persistent WP:MEATPUPPETry removing sourced material. — fortunavelut luna 11:30, 23 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Location hypotheses of Atlantis

    Temporary semi-protection: For almost all of this year now editor or editors using IP addresses from Caceres in Spain http://whatismyipaddress.com/ip/79.155.29.234 has been trying to include material rejected on the talk page. Doug Weller talk 12:12, 23 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Walt Whitman High School (New York)

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – IP users again trying to add information about non-notable person to notable alumni list. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 14:17, 23 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Paladins (video game)

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Regular mentions of rival games and how this one compares. Looking at the history of the article, this appears to be happening every few days and includes vandalism of parts including the infobox title. Jrmswell (talk) 14:25, 23 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Astroturfing

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing by IP (see 37.47.35.101 (talk · contribs · WHOIS)). Xenophrenic (talk) 14:39, 23 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Kek

    Indefinite semi-protection: Page is frequently in the pending changes queue and no constructive edits from non-autoconfirmed users have been made. DrStrauss talk 14:51, 23 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Geo Kahani

    Semi-protection: constant stream of IPs + sockpuppets making unsourced additions - has been protected twice before - Arjayay (talk) 15:48, 23 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    FC Bayern Munich

    Indefinite semi-protection: All of the Europe's biggest football clubs, including Real Madrid, Barcelona, Man Utd, PSG, Arsenal, Juventus, etc. have had their Wikipedia pages protected, but Bayern's Wikipedia page is the execption even though the German club is one of the best in Europe. That means that anyone can vandalise the page and write some bad comments about the club at any minute. So, that's why I am requesting you folks to protect Bayern Munich's Wiki page indefinitely because doing so is very neccessary. SuperBayern (talk) 16:51, 23 July 2017 (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.

    Template:FOSS

    Template:FOSS (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
    Unprotection: Pinging responsible admin @HJ Mitchell: Hi, you've restricted this template to autoconfirmed edits seven years ago. I've so far used edit requests to make changes to the page, but I don't think this edit restriction is necessary. According to toollabs:templatecount, the template is transcluded from (only) 315 pages. The restriction to autoconfirmed users was set indefinitely without prior restrictions. This template also doesn't have any intricate syntax, but it's a wrapper around {{Navbox}}. 2001:2003:54FA:D2:0:0:0:1 (talk) 16:28, 20 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    (Non-administrator comment) I don't see a point in removing protection from a template where vandals can easily add fake licenses or blank the template. Even though it's only transcluded in less than 500 pages, it's still prone to vandalism as it's transcluded on several already highly viewed articles. jd22292 (Jalen D. Folf) (talk) 21:42, 20 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    Per WP:BIDIRECTIONAL, this should probably be removed from many articles (about 200 of them). After that's done, semi wouldn't be warranted. ~ Rob13Talk 04:06, 23 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Unprotection: Inline sourced article, and he passes WP:NFOOTY. Joseph2302 (talk) 19:49, 20 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    This is a redirect page. The protection log indicates it was specifically protected because of a given situation at that time. What would be your reason for wanting it unprotected? — Maile (talk) 23:26, 21 July 2017 (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.
