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. ~~~~ |

Temporary semi-protection: 6 months+ of unregistered/IP editors (possibly the same person) guarding this page from edits by others. Fralupo (talk) 20:43, 12 July 2021 (UTC)
- Comment I posted a note to our Heraldry and Vexillology project asking for more eyes. It's not clear to met what version to protect, or whether or not the reverts are disruptive. The article has zero sources, which is problematic in itself. OhNoitsJamie Talk 21:04, 12 July 2021 (UTC)

Indefinite Semi-protection - As I use this page primarily when helping new users on Wikipedia's helpdesks and #wikipedia-en-help and point said users to it, I want the page semiprotected so that a user doesn't get confused (or "get confused" - helpees get belligerent sometimes) and wreck it. —A little blue Bori v^_^v Jéské Couriano 09:26, 13 July 2021 (UTC)

Temporary extended confirmed protection: Persistent disruptive editing – By Javito1993 (talk • contribs • deleted contribs • nuke contribs • logs • filter log • block user • block log), always updating new cases and deaths but not recoveries. Maybe he likes bad things to happen. Flix11 (talk) 09:55, 13 July 2021 (UTC)

@Flix11: You and other people have labelled my editing on COVID-19 statistics, which is based on government sources, as "disruptive editing" with the purpose of vandalising the page, when in fact is quite the opposite. I do not mind to also edit the recoveries chart of Statistics of the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) or leaving all the editing to you; however, keep in mind anyone can edit any page as long as it is based on a reliable sources and no one is the owner of any page. Javito1993 (talk) 10:19, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
- @Javito1993, Flix11, and HiChrisBoyleHere: Goodwill Jawito, than those two. Flix11, what date is it? Yesterday's data? Better you don't have to edit it... Bored? --MRZQ (talk) 12:17, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
- The request needs to be declined as Flix11 doesn't have enough argument to justify protection. In addition, when Flix11 requesting the page protection of an article, he cannot be answered and someone cannot be owned the article per WP:OWN. 36.77.92.164 (talk) 13:02, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
- @MRZQ: Oh yeah? What kind of data? And Jambi IP, who are you? Flix11 (talk) 14:31, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
- @Flix11: This is a data about confirmed cases, deaths, and recoveries which you concern as vandalism or distruptive edits. But i don't think it is vandalism, so you must beware what the content that cannot be considered vandalism (see what are not considered vandalism). 36.77.92.164 (talk) 15:10, 13 July 2021 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Old sockpuppet back with new account - already move-protected because of his/her actions; now needs to be short term edit-protected if that's OK. Thanks. 10mmsocket (talk) 09:58, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
- Highly likely based on past actions that this current sockpuppet account will pop with another one once blocked - hence request for semi-protection 10mmsocket (talk) 10:09, 13 July 2021 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – If you take a look at this page's history, there's an absolute boatload of vandalism in it. In order to prevent further vandalism, it'd be a good decision to semi-protect this page. Lucicol4999 (talk) 16:14, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
Note: With less than 50 edits total in the last year, there is not enough recent activity (vandalism or otherwise) to justify protection at this time. - Adolphus79 (talk) 04:45, 14 July 2021 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Inappropriate use of user talk page while blocked – The user is making personal attacks while being blocked. FilmandTVFan28 (talk) 18:32, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
Note: IP in question has left a note on their talk page apologizing for the recent disruptive edits, it appears they have stopped for now. Does not justify protecting the talk page. If personal attacks continue in the future during the block, contact the blocking admin and request that the IP lose talk page rights instead of protecting the page. - Adolphus79 (talk) 04:49, 14 July 2021 (UTC)

Semi-protection: This page has been protected five times in the last three years and just came off extended confirmed protection. Since then, it's been hit by vandals with half-a-dozen edits. The subject of the page, through his large Twitter following, has been off-Wiki canvassing his followers to blank the page (in addition to making increasingly outrageous off-Wiki legal threats to pursue civil and criminal [!] action against WP editors).

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.
KP Sharma Oli
- KP Sharma Oli (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Reduction in protection:– Former Prime minister of Nepal Oli is no more a office holder. So there is much probability of no vandalism in this article. He's been dusted from the post after Supreme Court of Nepal's order. As seen in Nepal, people reactly highly to office holders only. And yes, none are interested to make vulnerable changes on such pages. So, I feel protection is no more necessary. I feel, this article can be reviewed or overlooked time and again rater than protection.150.107.107.36 (talk) 19:55, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
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.
