"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.
    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

    Mike Jackson (fighter)

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Much vandalism and disruptivity in the past few days, including removal of deletion tags, perhaps socks of some blocked users in the history. L3X1 ◊distænt write◊ 22:24, 17 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    William Kennedy Smith

    Semi-protection: BLP policy violations. Snuggums (talk / edits) 23:08, 17 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. There's only one substantive edit aside from yourself in months. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 12:09, 18 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Unnao rape case

    Temporary semi-protection: IP vandalism and disruptive editing. DiplomatTesterMan (talk) 23:13, 17 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Boba Fett

    Persistent sock puppetry. Potential meat puppet or copycat of the Maylasian IP vandal that has been using multiple accounts and IPs specifically to troll and revert my posts or spam my inbox. NinjaRobotPirate has dealt with that user, though the two IPs that are now following me appear to be from the United Kingdom. I will be opening an SPI on the newly surfaced UK vandal, but Boba Fett clearly needs to be protected in the meantime. DarkKnight2149 23:51, 17 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Jorhat

    Indefinite extended confirmed: Persistent sockpuppetry – * Hardeep Delhi (talk+ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki)

    The user/users have been constantly reverting the changes to include a list of shops and supermarket stores that has been pointed out to be violating WP:NOTDIRECTORY policies. There have been persistent edits from random IP addresses to include this info. to the Jorhat article although was scrapped previously by Adamstraw99, besides me. The user had also attempted to include the info. in the Jorhat article in an advertising tone in 2017. Furthermore, multiple edits suggest insertion of useless info. lacking citations. The article in itself requires a lot of clean-up as contains a lot of WP:SYNTHESIS, but disruptive edits and sockpuppetry via multiple accounts, violating policies make it very difficult to keep the page relevant. Furthermore, the user/s communicates via talk pages in a disrespecting tone which is a direct violation of WP:EQ. Besides all these, the user/s (with same name aliases) also make legal threats, a direct violation of the WP:THREAT policy! Please refer User talk:Hardeep Delhi for more info. and Talk:Jorhat.

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Septrillion (talk) 00:49, 18 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    List of people who disappeared mysteriously

    Stable version of the article: 1 Semi-protection: Insertion of table and undiscussed removal of cited content. The purpose of the protection is to bring all parties to the discussion page to sort out problems instead of seeking a fait accompli Jack Sebastian (talk) 01:15, 18 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    @Jack Sebastian: you want temporary full protection, since the edit-warring is between registered editors. I agree that some protection would focus minds on the t/p discussion, which has been started, but communication is currently solely through edit-summaries. Incidentally, I'm here because I was also requesting it via twinkle, but, annoyingly of course, you write a chunk of text and then the bloomiing thing tells you a plaint has already been filed, and aborts. It would be nice if it could check first. —SerialNumber54129 paranoia /cheap sh*t room 08:39, 18 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    Probably so, @Serial Number 54129:. Here is the version of the artivle before the contentious bits were added. Note that the version is not my edit, but someone who I've never met before. I've initiated discussion on the talk page. The full prot would serve to bring the editors to the talky part of editing. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 08:50, 18 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    Fully protected for a period of three days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Enigmamsg 19:22, 18 April 2018 (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.

    Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – I know this is already protected, but I'd like to extend this to indefinite as this has been a repeated target by a long-term abuser vandalising Wikipedia for ten years. Blake Gripling (talk) 01:33, 18 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    • Automated comment: One or more pages in this request appear to already be protected. Please confirm.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 01:50, 18 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Nav (rapper)

    Semi-protection: IPs are still persistent in vandalising the page, and the pending changes log is really not doing a lot to dissuade them. It's a lot of edits to rollback. Ss112 13:25, 18 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected. Courcelles (talk) 19:42, 18 April 2018 (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.

    Handled requests
