Wikipedia:Requests for page protection
Welcome—request protection of a page, file, or template here. | ||
---|---|---|
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.
Indefinite full protection: High-risk file. There is a {{keep local high-risk}} template on this page, but the page has not been locked from uploading yet. Aasim 05:57, 4 June 2020 (UTC)
Semi-protected. For indefinite full protection,. I would like to see better arguments. Unless I am mistaken, we do not have indefinitely full protected files.--Ymblanter (talk) 18:49, 4 June 2020 (UTC)
Template protected, upgraded to template protected--Ymblanter (talk) 18:52, 4 June 2020 (UTC)
Declined, now unprotected since the file was already ipload-protected, and the description is not vulnerable--Ymblanter (talk) 19:16, 4 June 2020 (UTC)
Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – Content dispute that lead to edit warring. Someone has to state in the article edit summary first the REFERENCE that Agust D was not the producer of the song before removing it in the credits. It was clearly stated during the mixtape release that Agust D did produce all the song is his solo comeback, therefore, was included here. Now, anyone has to prove otherwise with a legitimate and unbiased source. "Full protection" because the edit warring involved extended confirmed users. (User:Chiyako92, for example, keeps on adding unsourced content, among others.) The best, safest, and unbiased version as of now is the one with my revision (02:51 PHT, 5 June 2020). ~PogingJuan 19:02, 4 June 2020 (UTC)
Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. --auburnpilot talk 00:19, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Short-term IP vandalism and BLP policy violation. -- LuK3 (Talk) 19:54, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Some BLP disruption and vandalism. -- LuK3 (Talk) 19:56, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: Main page of RedWarn, an anti-vandalism tool - likely to be vandalised in future as more and more editors begin using the script - non-confirmed users can't use the tool, therefore there is no need to edit the page. Ed6767 (talk) 22:38, 4 June 2020 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Persistent removal of maintenance templates by IP hopper in the 2606:6000:6205:4d00 range. Thanks. Sundayclose (talk) 00:06, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
Current requests for reduction in protection level
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.

Reason: Should redirect to Hashtag United F.C. as an alternative name for Spencer FC (Spencer Carmichael-Brown), also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Spencer Owen was about a different person of the same name. Sahaib (talk) 09:02, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
Current requests for edits to a protected page
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.

"Israeli military activities in the Gaza Strip remained unchanged following adoption of the resolution" needs a marker: citation needed. AmbroseVenture (talk) 18:42, 17 August 2024 (UTC)
"On 28 March, the IDF shot and killed two unarmed men in central Gaza, before burying them in sand with bulldozers.[397]" needs to be altered, the source gives two contradicting stories which CNN (the source) didn't clear up. In the article AJ argues without evidence the two videos they present are from the same people, the IDF tells those were two separate incidents. This has to be cleared up to remain factual.

I want to add an RFPPI request for 2018 Philadelphia Phillies season, with the reason; “socking and vandalism” 134.6.109.138 (talk) 18:52, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
Semi-protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Isabelle Belato 🏳🌈 20:15, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
Create a level 3 header with a link to the article in question, then a {{pagelinks}} template and then the reason.
