    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

    Current requests for increase in protection level

    Seaford High School (New York)

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Repeated additions of unverifiable and incorrect information by IP users. StrikerforceTalk 15:44, 31 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Central African lion

    Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – Got a edit war going on between Punetor i Rregullt5 and BhagyaMani with multiple 3RR violations. Whispering 16:24, 31 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Statue of Unity

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Kirbanzo (talk) 17:46, 31 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    American Renaissance (magazine)

    Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – IP editors POV pushing and inserting WP:FRINGE theories, going back months. Page was semi'd for this reason last month, which stopped the disruption, then it resumed within hours of semi expiring. Should be protected for longer than a month this time; since this is an inherently controversial topic it's unlikely disruption will stop any time soon. PC may also be appropriate given disruption occurs every few days. Aspening (talk) 17:58, 31 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protection: High level of IP vandalism, seems to be a hot topic in India. Zaka (talk) 18:47, 31 October 2018 (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.

    Great Famine (Ireland)

    This is just strange; the first entry in the log is for unprotection, and there's no other substantial reason given, other than some vague somethingorother about "located protection log". At the very least, someone should probably take a look at this and unprotect if it's not needed, and specify a reason if it is. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 22:01, 31 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Lubos Motl

    Unprotection: and redirect to Luboš Motl. Widefox; talk 22:38, 31 October 2018 (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.

    Create a level 3 header with a link to the article in question, then a {{Pagelinks}} template and then the reason. It looks like this: Example (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) your request here. ~~~~
