    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

Check the archive of fulfilled and denied requests or, failing that, the page history if you cannot find your request. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.

    Template:Confirmed cases in 2019–20 coronavirus outbreak

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Temporary semi-protection is used on Coronavirus disease 2019 and this template is used on that page to report confirmed cases and deaths that have already been vandalised. Please assist. TIA! comrade waddie96 (talk) 10:50, 2 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 3 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. N.J.A. | talk 13:44, 2 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. N.J.A. | talk 13:30, 2 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    @NJA: Please see Template:Deaths in 2019–20 coronavirus outbreak which was protected (both were reported at the same time). I assume the same vandalism will occur with this template. comrade waddie96 (talk) 13:40, 2 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks for the ping. As of now it is a bit pre-emptive, which is not what we normally do unless it’s a high risk template. I can accept an argument that it is, so to save trouble I will semi protect for 3 months, N.J.A. | talk 13:44, 2 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    Trivium (band)

    Temporary extended confirmed: Persistent disruptive editing – The page seems to be a target for edit warring, and many edits are contested from the revision history. Thepenguin9 (talk) 11:09, 2 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    User(s) blocked. One IPv6 /64 range involved that I could see. Blocked for 1 week. -- ferret (talk) 13:17, 2 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    Battle of Kiev (1943)

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – IP editor keeps find-and-replacing Kiev with Kyiv against consensus (and it also breaks all the image and category names). Le Deluge (talk) 11:36, 2 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined, please warn the IP, and if they continue please ping me, I will block them--Ymblanter (talk) 11:46, 2 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    Joe Lycett

    Semi-protection: Things going a little crazy here since this British comedian legally changed his name to Hugo Boss. Also recomend protection against page moves in the short term too. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 12:02, 2 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 4 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected., was already moved protected indefinitely, N.J.A. | talk 13:32, 2 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    Sitar

    Semi-protection Some IPs are edit warring each other and also the regulars are confusing their edits for vandalism. NavjotSR (talk) 12:38, 2 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. seems contained mostly for now, keep engaging in dispute resolution or report any edit warring at WP:ANEW N.J.A. | talk 13:34, 2 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    (edit conflict) Declined I don't think protection is warranted here right now. Where's the talk page discussions? Slow moving and protection would only impact good faith IP editor. -- ferret (talk) 13:36, 2 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    A Quiet Place Part II

    Semi-protection: Roaming IP editor keeps adding unsourced content to the "Cast" section. They are also removing red links in violation of WP:REDLINK despite the figures having the absolute potential for their own articles, likely removing it because they think red links look bad. Erik (talk | contrib) (ping me) 12:48, 2 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    User(s) blocked. if that doesn’t help re-report here or to me for re-consideration, N.J.A. | talk 13:39, 2 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    John Smith (actor)

    Extended confirmed: Persistent sockpuppetry – Third account this user has created with what I believe is the express purpose of vandalising this page with Neo-Nazi-related content. This is following months of the same vandalism under IPs. Such persistence shows that this is not gonna stop unless we commit to tougher protection. Alivardi (talk) 13:32, 2 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protection: High level of IP vandalism. CAMERAwMUSTACHE (talk) 13:56, 2 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    • 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.

    2019–20 coronavirus outbreak

    Temporary pending changes. ~Nick~{talk} 02:30, 2 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    @El C: applied the indefinite Semi-Protection, so we need their input here. However, given that this outbreak is ongoing, it seems like a good idea to make it PC1 to prevent collateral damage by denying IPs who could add important information. — Maile (talk) 02:36, 2 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    Sorry, but I'm not at all convinced that protection needs to be downgraded from semi to pc1. El_C 02:39, 2 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    @Maile66: I did not apply an indefinite duration — the protection is set to expire on 19 April 2020. El_C 02:40, 2 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    Oh, pardon me. It's the page move that is indef protected. — Maile (talk) 02:54, 2 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    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.

    Im not afraid (talk) 04:21, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    I posted an edit request on the talk page there to look at this one. ~Anachronist (talk) 02:06, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Israel–Hamas war

    At present we have "On 24 May, the International Court of Justice ruled that Israel must immediately halt its Rafah offensive.[1]"

    I suggest changing it to include a longer, semantically-complete, quotation, to read: "On 24 May, the International Court of Justice ruled that Israel must immediately halt its military offensive, and any other action in the Rafah governorate, which may inflict on the Palestinian group in Gaza conditions of life that could bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part.[2]"

    As the Guardian article points out, and reports judges as arguing, the last comma is critical to the meaning of the ruling. Hunc (talk) 10:49, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
