    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

    Sofia Airport

    Admin only protection just for a few days - the edit wars are continuing over the content in the airlines and destinations table, with a number of different editors. Needs to go back to the talk page to sort out. SportingFlyer talk 20:36, 6 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    • Already one disruptive editor who had repeat warnings for edit warring has been indefinitely blocked and it appears that there is another one who has come out of the woodwork and doing the same thing. Ajf773 (talk) 21:52, 6 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    Fully protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 22:16, 6 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Environmental impact of agriculture

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – For some reason, this article is attracting lots of IP drive-by vandalism. Of the last couple dozen edits, only one was possibly legitimate. —[AlanM1(talk)]— 20:38, 6 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 22:42, 6 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Palos Verdes Peninsula High School

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Vandalism continues right after the protection has expired. Sam Sailor 21:48, 6 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Musical.ly and TikTok

    Indefinite semi-protection: vandalism by IP addresses continues on both articles after protection ends in each case. [1] and [2] Ups @nd Downs 1234 22:10, 6 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Energy Transfer Partners

    Temporary semi-protection: Protected in the past due to IP editors adding NPOV content. Reverted edits of IP users twice. Information was not what was in the sources while other information was already discussed previously on the talk page that it belongs in a different article. Reverted per WP:BRD and even opened the discussion on the talk page for the IP users. This was ignored and disruptive editing (introducing content that is NOT in the reference provided) continues. Should only need semi-protection for IP users as there are at least two at the moment and many more in the past. . CNMall41 (talk) 22:13, 6 December 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.

    Template:' (apostrophe)

    Reduce to template-editor protection. Can't think of any reason this should be admin-only. Need to fix the kerning in it to match the rest of the templates in this series. PS: Any of them (listed at Template:Quotation mark templates) that do not have T-E protection should have it, since vandalizing any of them could affect quite a number of articles, guidelines, template documentation, etc. (possibly in ways that would escape notice for a while). Most of them have semi-protection, and several none at all. There's probably no reason for anyone but a T-E (or admin) to be editing these, as any changes to them need to be made consistently across the entire set all at once, and have a high risk of visually mangling the output if not done correctly. If any are protected at any level, then they all should match, to prevent wildly inconsistent "output forking".  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  22:36, 5 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Not unprotected SMcCandlish I'd have been happy to do this (and will make any edits you specifically lay out for me to make), but as this page is listed on Wikipedia:Cascade-protected items/content, changing the protection level here will accomplish exactly nothing. Courcelles (talk) 13:50, 6 December 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. ~~~~
