Requests for page protection | |
---|---|
This page is for requesting that a page, file or template be fully protected, create protected (salted), semi-protected, added to pending changes, move-protected, template protected (template-specific), upload protected (file-specific), or unprotected. Please read up on 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 only to prevent IP and new user vandalism (see the rough guide to semi-protection), and move protection is used to stop pagemove revert wars. After a page has been protected, the protection is listed in the page history and logs with a short description indicating why it was protected, and the article is listed on Special:Protectedpages. Further discussion should take place on the Talk page of the article. In the case of full protection due to edit warring, admins do not revert to specific versions of the page, except to get rid of obvious vandalism.
If you would like to request a page to be protected or unprotected, please follow the following steps:
=== [[Example Article Name]] === * {{pagelinks|Example Article Name}} '''Semi-protection:''' High level of IP vandalism. ~~~~ === [[Template:Example Template Name]] === * {{pagelinks|Template:Example Template Name}} '''Unprotection:''' From full protection to template editor protection. ~~~~
=== Short descriptive header === * {{pagelinks|Wikipedia:Example Page Name 1}} * {{pagelinks|Wikipedia:Example Page Name 2}} '''Temporary semi-protection:''' High level of IP vandalism. ~~~~ |

Raoul Wallenberg
- Raoul Wallenberg ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Semi-protection: Some persistent vandalism. mike.x.cao (talk) 1:58, 10 December 2015 (UTC)
25 (Adele album)
- 25 (Adele album) ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Again continuous IP cruft and vandalism going on. Please protect this highly visible album page as its getting difficult to sort out the crap edits from the actually good ones. —Indian:BIO [ ChitChat ] 10:19, 9 December 2015 (UTC)
Brendan Ryan (baseball)
- Brendan Ryan (baseball) ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – Ryan will be included in a trade as a player to be named later according to sources. Editors seem to have trouble understanding the word "later". It will not be until after the Rule 5 draft, which will be held tomorrow morning. Can we get this article shut down until around noon tomorrow, with the version that says he's a Yankee? He will be until after the Rule 5 draft. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:44, 9 December 2015 (UTC)
Vitamin C
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Got an IP repeatedly inserting bogus stuff into the lede. Alexbrn (talk) 21:01, 9 December 2015 (UTC)
- Declined – Warn the user appropriately then report them to AIV or ANI if they continue. NeilN talk to me 21:27, 9 December 2015 (UTC)

Freemen on the land
- Freemen on the land ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Indefinite pending changes: Persistent disruptive editing – Conspiracy theory article frequently the target of "new" and "anonymous" editors insisting that Freemen views are valid, declaring sources "dubious" and inserting their own interpretation, which happens to line up with Freemen teachings. Of course no sources are ever provided. I've already reverted and been reverted by an editor actually named "anonymous" who is currently picking the article apart into basically a Freemen how-to guide.

Kinder Surprise
- Kinder Surprise ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism by what seems to be one or two individuals who keep creating new accounts. The accounts keep adding in nonsense wording about Walmart and Paw Patrol as well as deleting existing sourced article copy and reintroducing an error to the introduction. (Disclosure: I am working on behalf of the manufacturer of Kinder Surprise, Ferrero SpA, via PR agency Glover Park Group as a paid consultant, as part of my job with agency Beutler Ink.) 16912 Rhiannon (Talk · COI) 22:36, 9 December 2015 (UTC)
Seaford Head School
- Seaford Head School ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent Vandalism. Pretty clearly all disruptive accounts belong to the same child. 2601:188:0:ABE6:D538:9C0E:BF78:37A3 (talk) 22:45, 9 December 2015 (UTC)

Semi-protection: High level of IP vandalism. Simione001 (talk) 23:55, 9 December 2015 (UTC)

Dick (slang)
- Dick (slang) ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Pending changes: Persistent vandalism – Was previously pending change protected, and was semi-protected during some time. Some recent or constant vandalism, and yes, the article is a target of vandalism. (You see that the vulgar slang word references a penis, which vandals may love to try to edit?).

"Middle Dot"
Sorry for the improper link, the page is not currently active but its talk page has been recreated, since it's a unicode character I can't link it normally. Semi-protection This page and its talk page have been repeatedly recreated over the last few days despite being part of another topic, by one registered user & several unregistered users.

Current requests for reduction in protection level
- To find out the username of the admin who protected the page click on "View 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 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 here if you cannot find your request. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.
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
{{Edit protected}}
,{{Edit template-protected}}
,{{Edit semi-protected}}
or{{Request edit}}
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 Category:Wikipedia fully-protected edit requests, Category:Wikipedia template-protected edit requests, Category:Wikipedia semi-protected edit requests or Category:Requested edits respectively. - Page move requests should be made at Wikipedia:Requested moves, not here.
- If the discussion page and the article are both locked, this page is the right place to request an edit. 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 locked. Please make requests as long as you have a specific edit you wish to make.
