Requests for page protection | |
---|---|
This page is for requesting that a page, file or template be fully protected, create protected (salted), extended confirmed protected, semi-protected, added to pending changes, move-protected, template protected, upload protected (file-specific), or unprotected. Please read the protection policy for details. 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 page-move 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, 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 to have a page protected, have a page's existing protection level lowered or raised, or would like to submit an edit request for a protected page, please follow these steps (note: if you enable the Twinkle gadget for your Wikipedia account, this process can be largely automated for you):
=== [[Example Article Name]] === * {{pagelinks|Example Article Name}} '''Semi-protection:''' High level of IP vandalism. ~~~~ === [[Template:Example Template Name]] === * {{pagelinks|Template:Example Template Name}} '''Reduction in protection level:''' 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. ~~~~ |
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 rolling 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.

Semi-protection: Disruptive editing by an IP-hopping individual over the last few days. Confirmed IPs include 31.217.12.222, 141.136.197.249, and 89.164.179.77. Would potentially suggest similar semi-protection for other pages affected by these IPs. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 20:21, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

2021 Myanmar coup d'état
- 2021 Myanmar coup d'état ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Temporary semi-protection — Due to the recent and controversial nature of this article's topic, there has been a large influx of unsourced and originally researched edits by anonymous (IP) editors and new accounts. Warnings have gone ignored, and anonymous editors from both sides of the political dispute arising from the coup have added several unsourced claims that could further tensions in Myanmar. These edits can have actual real world consequences if they are missed, because Wikipedia may be cited as proof of unproven theories and claims. Thus, I believe temporary semi-protection is needed. I propose a length similar to the protection that currently exists for 2021 Myanmar protests. All the best, CentreLeftRight ✉ 20:50, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
- Comment: You needs to read WP:PREEMPT as the pages cannot be protected as preemptive measures to anticipate vandalism. As i see in the page, i don't see any effort by IPs or users to vandalise the page as most of that edits are good faith and not even have a tag "Reverted". If you want to re-request again, please adding links that you see any persistent or endless vandalism on the page. Or if you want insist to do it, please ping El C to do it. Thank you. 36.77.74.149 (talk) 22:45, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
- Semi-protected for a period of 6 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Per the rest. Thanks for the ping, IP, but nothing preemptive here as there does seem to be a disruptive edit once every couple of days on average since the previous protection lapsed.

Current requests for reduction in protection level
Before posting, first discuss with the protecting admin at their talk page. Only post below if you receive no (favourable) 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 rolling archive 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
{{request edit}}
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.
Create a level 3 header with a link to the article in question, then a {{pagelinks}} template and then the reason.
Handled requests
