Requests for page protection
Shortcuts:

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.

Instructions

If you would like to request a page to be protected, have an existing protection level lowered or an edit request, please follow the following steps:

  1. If you are requesting unprotection, you must ask the protecting administrator first for unprotection. If the admin is unable to respond and/or lower protection then you can list your request on this page.
  2. Add a level 3 header (i.e. === [[Example title]] ===) with the namespace if not an article. Place your request at the bottom of either the protection or unprotection list, depending on the nature of your request, and place the pagelinks template below the header in the form of * {{pagelinks|Example title}}. Please make sure you have spelled the name of the article properly; a common error stems from mistaken requests for the protection of redirects, particularly capitalised ones.
  3. If you are requesting protection, write the type of request (full protection, semi-protection, pending changes, move protection) and a brief reason for your request below your header.
  4. Please do not add arbitrary requests for a protection expiry time to your request, or request indefinite protection arbitrarily.
    • If there is a reason for a page to be protected for a certain amount of time, such as protecting a user talk page until the user is unblocked, please make this clear.
    • If you are requesting indefinite semi-protection or pending changes, be aware that it is only applied to articles with endemic and endless vandalism problems which multiple increasing periods of temporary semi-protection or pending changes have failed to stop.
    • Note that different expiry times can be set for edit and move-protections, so an article can, for example, be semi-edit-protected for a week and full-move-protected indefinitely.
  5. Sign your request with four tildes ~~~~ and save.
  • Note: this is not a venue for continuing an argument from elsewhere nor starting a new discussion regarding content. If a request contains excessive arguing, is being used for edit-warring or content disputes, contains personal attacks or uncivil comments or any other unrelated discussion, it will be removed from this page.
Examples
For single page requests
=== [[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. ~~~~
For multiple page requests with the same criteria
=== 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[edit]

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.

Random IP editing out sourced material[edit]

Temporary semi-protection: High level of IP vandalism. Nikhilmn2002 (talk) 01:02, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

Also include List of wars involving the People's Republic of China. Shulinjiang is just evading his block. Capitals00 (talk) 05:41, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

Module:Yemeni Civil War detailed map[edit]

full-protection: A lot of edit war with various users. Protection for 2 weeks or 2 months. Panam2014 (talk) 21:01, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

  • Automated comment: A request for protection/unprotection for one or more pages in this request was recently made, and was denied at some point within the last 8 days.—cyberbot IpTalk to my owner:Online 21:06, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
I suggest not issuing the protection. User:Panam2014 was a recent participant in a 3RR case about this page that I closed, and is now restricted from editing there. I am disappointed that he is now seeking other methods of continuing the dispute. EdJohnston (talk) 21:36, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
Declined – Consider dispute resolution. Lectonar (talk) 08:40, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
@EdJohnston and Lectonar: The topic topic which was more or less arbitrary than me EdJohnston imposed does not forbid me to do "administrator noticeboard " especially since a wave of Pov pushing hard since December 2015. It is my right not to accept this pov pushing faced by many contributors.Kiluminati doesn't respect the 3RR. For that, he should be Warned. Could you re open the request or permit me to re open a new. The Kiluminati's 3RR : [1], [2], [3]. The edit introduced by Kiluminati : [4], [5]. The map before the edit : [6]. Clearly, he has violated 3RR. It is a 3RR violation, not a user problem. Panam2014 (talk) 10:47, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
If there was a 3RR breach on the page, it was days ago. Full protection is denied; as I said: dispute resolution is the way to go. Lectonar (talk) 11:01, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
@Lectonar: It is the problem . The 3RR ended only because Edjohnston forbade me to me to change the module. But Kiluminati has not been blocked or warned from continuing. Could you consider my demand? because in the opposite case it amounts to giving carte blanche to continue Kiluminati . Especially since he already paticipate to various edit war with @LightandDark2000, Bigles, and PutItOnAMap:. Panam2014 (talk) 11:16, 29 March 2016 (UTC)

One-Punch Man[edit]

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Since the page was put on pending revisions, five out of the seven edits have been vandalism. (only one of these editors was autoconfirmed) The protection level should be increased to semi-protection so as not to take up editor time reviewing each edit and to stop the vandalism. Constructive edits from IP-editors would still be available via edit requests. Opencooper (talk) 03:57, 29 March 2016 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 10 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. It will revert to PC1 for 7 days. Yaris678 (talk) 12:32, 29 March 2016 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 2 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. AfD is not attracting much attention from unconfirmed users outside the socks, I think 2 days semi will be fine — MusikAnimal talk 14:59, 29 March 2016 (UTC)

States and union territories of India[edit]

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Upgrade this from indefinite pending changes to indefinite semi protected. Not a single constructive IP edit in the recent history and waste of editor's time reverting. Ugog Nizdast (talk) 12:59, 29 March 2016 (UTC)

Current requests for reduction in protection level[edit]

Shortcuts:
Please post requests in this section for removing or reducing the protection level of a page if the protecting admin is inactive or you have already asked them.
  • 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 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 here if you cannot find your request. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.
