Requests for page protection | ||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
This page is for requesting that a page, file or template be protected. 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. 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. Note: Editors should not consider requesting page protection as a method for continuing an argument from elsewhere nor as a venue for starting a new discussion regarding article content. If a request contains excessive argument, appears to be intended to resolve a content dispute, includes personal attacks or uncivil comments, or has any other unrelated discussion, it will be removed from this page and no action will be taken.

Temporary semi-protection:. Reason: High level of IP vandalism. Pugliese23 (talk) 00:55, 28 August 2022 (UTC)
- Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Only a handful of reverted edits. Ad Orientem (talk) 01:07, 28 August 2022 (UTC)

Reason: High level of vandalism once again on the page. We asked a few days ago and the protection was increased, but now registered users do make vandalism. Removing 3/4 of the content on certain sections without augmenting the value of the content but rather decreasing it on purpose. It seems that there are still political reason for attacking that page. Thank you for the help Academia45 (talk) 03:44, 28 August 2022 (UTC)
- Declined – No changes to the current protection level are required at this point in time. Nothing approaching a high level of vandalism on this page. Please consider reading the protection policy linked several times on this page. Pending changes protection has been applied as you have noted and appears to be working. Recent blanking by User:PacificDepths appears to be a good faith mistake, and we appreciate your reverting it. I have cautioned PacificDepths. BusterD (talk) 04:59, 28 August 2022 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing. —hueman1 (talk • contributions) 03:57, 28 August 2022 (UTC)
- Declined – Warn the user appropriately then report them to AIV or ANI if they continue. I have applied a final warning to the disruptive IP, the only disruptor here. Please read the protection policy linked several times on this page. We only apply protection when necessary and only apply indefinite protection to the most unsolvable situations.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. SparklingSnail (talk) 04:19, 28 August 2022 (UTC)
- Semi-protected for a period of two days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Surprisingly this page hasn't been protected in a dozen years, even though it sees regular disruption. A tiny bit too much traffic for pending changes, IMHO. Let's start with two days and keep watching. BusterD (talk) 04:38, 28 August 2022 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – The page has been victimized by red/terrorist-tagging. The deceased person has been continuously been defamed even outside Wikipedia. Ryomaandres (talk) 04:22, 28 August 2022 (UTC)
- Declined – Warn the user appropriately then report them to AIV or ANI if they continue. I can see you've already warned this person. I'll be watching and if they edit this again, I'll block. If you need help, please call on me. BusterD (talk) 04:30, 28 August 2022 (UTC)
Darna (2022 TV series)
- Darna (2022 TV series) (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Reason: There have been persistent edit wars on this page, primarily by those IP addresses without permanent Wikipedia accounts. They have been told to refrain from doing so but refuse to listen. It would be best to have the page semi-protected to prevent further vandalism and be exclusive only to those who have accounts. Thank you. Loibird90 (talk) 06:07, 28 August 2022 (UTC)
- Semi-protected for a period of two days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Never before protected but I can see the reason this was requested. Thanks for your eyes and effort. Glad to extend this protection if the condition persists, as seems likely. BusterD (talk) 06:22, 28 August 2022 (UTC)

Reason: Locking of page has prevented good edits from the page (see talk) and the vandalism reason for protection in 2013 has become irrelevant. CactiStaccingCrane (talk) 17:06, 27 August 2022 (UTC)
- @SilkTork: Notified as protecting admin. Favonian (talk) 17:35, 27 August 2022 (UTC)
- Protection lifted to see how it goes. The semi-protection has been working, and edit requests on the talkpage have been promptly actioned or declined as appropriate, so I don't see evidence that good edits have been prevented. SilkTork (talk) 23:38, 27 August 2022 (UTC)
