    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 protection

    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.

    UEFA Champions League 2007-08 (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

    Semi-protection Edit warring due to a single IP editor (IP range 88.77-8.x.x) adding the irrelevant fact that Sevilla won the 2006-07 UEFA Cup. Nine edits have been reverted over the past three days. Consensus on this issue was made some time ago. —Ed Cormany (talk) 17:41, 16 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    The Simpsons (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

    Semi-protection It's been protected for a year and was suddenly unprotected. Since then, it's been vandalised four times in three hours. -- Scorpion0422 17:11, 16 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    Note: This article appears on the main page as Today's Featured article on 17 December 2007. That is within the next 7 hours, and protection was dropped to move protection only as standard Main Page procedure. - auburnpilot talk 17:36, 16 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined This is more of a content issue and semi-protection shouldn't be used to prevent well meaning editors from participating. - auburnpilot talk 17:41, 16 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    Current requests for unprotection

    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.

    Ahmad Zahir (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

    unprotection The article has been protected for several months now so I think it is probably safe now to unprotect it. CanadianAnthropologist (talk) 15:41, 16 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    Khojaly Massacre (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

    unprotection , The page has been protected for more than 3 months now. And all the disputes in the talk have died down. .VartanM (talk) 06:56, 16 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    I think it is a little premature. Recently 2 pages got protected because of edits wars involving the same users. Unprotection may result in resumption of the edit war. Grandmaster (talk) 08:41, 16 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    I oppose the unprotection of this page until the author wishing to make further edits brings up and discusses the edits on the talk page and comes to consensus. Provided the substantial edit warring going on related Armenia-Azerbaijan dispute pages, such as Shusha, Shusha pogrom (1920), and many others, unprotection of Khojaly Massacre may not be practical. Thanks. Atabek (talk) 08:42, 16 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    Bone Thugs-n-Harmony (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

    Unprotect - I could be wrong but this page (along with almost all Bone Thugs-n-Harmony related articles) was 'protected' by someone who was not on the list of admins and didn't give a real compelling reason they needed protecting given the article(s) history. τßōиЄ2001 (ǂ ) 00:35, 15 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    Current requests for significant edits to a protected page

    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.
