Wikipedia:Requests for page protection

"WP:RFP" and "WP:RPP" redirect here. You may also be looking for Wikipedia:Requests for permissions, Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission, or Wikipedia:Random page patrol.

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 protection Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level Request unprotection Request a specific edit to a protected page Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here Request edit

Ultimate Fighting Championship (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Temporary semi-protection, Introduction of factual errors after contentious judges decision in the main event of UFC 104 (people changing the winner (and thus new champion) to Rua instead of Machida). --aktsu ^(t / c) 07:05, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Gatling gun (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Semi-protect - persistent IP and new user vandalism/page blanking for the past week, but has gotten a lot worse today. — DanMP5 04:19, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Declined for now - vandalism does seem a bit heavier than normal but not really out of control yet, let's wait and see on this one. Re-report if vandalism worsens. AlexiusHoratius 04:26, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Steve McNair (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Temporary semi-protection vandalism, looking at recent edits, almost all IP edits are vandlism, in heavy quantities. RF23 (talk) 03:24, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. "Heavy quantities" usually means 5-50 IPs vandalizing per day. This article has hardly had 5 IP edits this month. tedder (talk) 03:26, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

First Flight High School (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Temporary full protection vandalism, The kid-spam is going to make it difficult for any interested serious editor to add content... it is hard even to keep the flags in the article. - Sinneed 03:03, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Declined I'll watch the article and warn/block editors if necessary. There aren't any IPs vandalizing the article, so it should be pretty easy to control. Full-protection (let alone semi-prot) during AFD is pretty rare. tedder (talk) 03:20, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Semi-protection, please. Various vandalism (mostly from one IP) over the past week, persistently removing a member from this group. Note that this IP cannot be blocked (see User talk:222.127.223.71). SKS (talk) 01:46, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

User(s) blocked. Sure, they are dynamic, but they can be blocked. Come back if they are IP hopping, but in general, give warnings and take to WP:AIV. tedder (talk) 02:10, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Current requests for unprotection

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

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.

Barricade (Transformers) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Temporary full protection dispute, An IP editor and a registered user editwarring over some trivia fact. I've asked both of them to take it to the talk page and the registered user has tried, but the IP won't comment. IP's being slightly more disruptive and throwing personal attacks around. GrooveDog • i'm groovy. 17:12, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

User(s) blocked. The IP is certainly over the line. I blocked them for a few days, let me/us know if the protection is needed. tedder (talk) 18:47, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. I'm not a fan of long protections, but this one seems to be a favourite target for vandals. Oh and I messed up with the protection level - sorry about that. ≈ Chamal ^talk ¤ 11:14, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

Final Fantasy XIII (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Semi-protect. IP addresses continuously adding the same useless information in at least 15 edits to make it hard to find genuine edits and a clean revision.
