    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

    Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – IP vandalism. ManaliJain (talk) 06:33, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Question: @ManaliJain: Could you please tell me which specific recent edits are vandalism and why are they vandalism? Thanks. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 06:58, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    The recent IP are subtly disruptive with no value added to the page. These edits seem to be made solely to remove or alter existing content without valid reasoning or improvement to the page's quality. ManaliJain (talk) 12:44, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Can I request temp RPP again please, an IP from a constantly jumping IP range keeps making edits against consensus and they were doing the same thing months ago, they're doing it across this as well as Star Wars and Return of the Jedi, they've previously ignored any attempts at discussion or edit notes and just keep remaking the same edit over and over.

    Kalaripayattu

    Reason: Page was recently given semi-protection for a month due to persistent disruptive edits and vandalism. Page protection was removed not long ago, and there has been large scale disruptive editing by anonymous and newly made accounts. About two months ago, the page was given semi-protection for a month, but since the page has had an increase in disruptive editing from anonymous IPs and new accounts since the protection was removed, I would like to request extended confirmed or at least semi-protection for 6 months.

    Mirza Tahir Ahmad

    Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Persistent vandalism with no chance of subsiding – the subject was a leader of a breakaway sect in Islam considered heretic by mainstream Islam. Hate speech and derogatory comments are added by IP editors every couple of weeks since its 3-year protection period ended in December. Needs renewed protection now – I strongly recommend indefinite protection (which of course doesn't mean infinite), much like with Mirza Ghulam Ahmad. — kashmīrī TALK 17:53, 3 June 2024 (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.

    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.

    The talk page Talk:Israel-Hamas War is protected, therefore edit requests by non-extended-confirmed users land here. That is acceptable, and this request made above is reasonable.
