    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

    Place requests for new or upgrading pending changes, semi-protection, full protection, move protection, create protection, template editor protection, or upload protection at the BOTTOM of this section. 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.

    UFC_249_(May_9,_2020_event)

    Semi-protection: Persistent disruption on the article page and disturbing a move request. The disruptive activity started after Florida announced that "Combat Sports" are essential service and "people" starving for content during COVID-19 Pandemic. Regice2020 (talk) 02:23, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    I am sorry but I do not see much of a recent disruption. It looks like most IP edits stick, and only some are reverted.--Ymblanter (talk) 19:28, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    Declined – Likely collateral damage as one or several users who are making improvements would be affected by the requested protection. I concur with Ymblanter. This is a very heavily edited article, and many constructive edits are made by IPs. MelanieN (talk) 21:06, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    Oppose https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=UFC_249_(May_9,_2020_event)&action=history - It the disruption and move request tampering randomly occurs few times a day or two. Regice2020 (talk) 07:26, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    Note: Regice2020, you made your request. Two different administrators declined it. This is not a !vote; we don't take Support and Oppose votes. Yes, today there was a disruptive edit today by a new user, reverted by ClueBot. There were also constructive edits by three other IPs. Yesterday there were no vandalism edits, and constructive edits by four different IPs . That’s why we said that banning IPs/new users is not needed, and would do more harm than good. If the situation changes you can always ask again, but we are going to need to see more than just an occasional vandalism edit. -- MelanieN (talk) 19:16, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    Uncyclopedia

    Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – User:BFDIBebble and others are constantly attempting to change the URL to .ca without prior consensus. Kevindongyt (talk) 22:52, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    This was declined yesterday when I requested it to stop yourself, User:PKHilliam, User:Rock-O-Jello and others from attempting to change the URL to .co without prior consensus. There is a clear COI from this group of users pushing their website on this article. BFDIBebble (talk) 22:55, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    You, User:BFDIBebble, have been attempting to change the URL to .ca without any consensus whatsoever, since May 2019. Your attempts to surpress my edits are a clear COI. Proof of your agressive edit-warring can be found here: Uncyclopedia. Also I did not edit Uncyclopedia yesterday, contrary to your statement. Kevindongyt (talk) 23:00, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    Fully protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. — JJMC89 (T·C) 23:14, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    Indefinite semi-protection: Chronic test editing. {{u|Sdkb}} talk 04:38, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    Opinions please. I'm inclined to protect but I don't see it covered in WP:PROT. If someone wants to protect or decline, please go ahead. Johnuniq (talk) 07:17, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    I would decline, this is exactly the talk page we expect newbies to edit, and that some of them do not know how to edit is not really surprising--Ymblanter (talk) 10:49, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    Reason: The protection is no longer necessary this article was protected because of sock puppet users but all those account has been blocked and this article needs update and improvement but editors can't do that because of extended confirmed protection.Travis Headache (talk) 12:50, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    @Anachronist: any thoughts on that? Lectonar (talk) 12:57, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Not unprotected – Please use an edit request to request specific changes to be made to the protected page. The disruption in the contribution history, as well as the hits in in the filter log, are too recent to consider reducing protection at this time. ~Anachronist (talk) 13:25, 5 August 2024 (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.
