Wikipedia:Requests for page protection
| Welcome—request protection of a page, file, or template here. | ||
|---|---|---|
|
Before requesting, read 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 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, it is listed in the page history and logs with a short rationale, and the article is listed on Special:ProtectedPages. In the case of full protection due to edit warring, admins should not revert to specific versions of the page, except to get rid of obvious vandalism.
Request protection of a page, or increasing the protection level
Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level
Request a specific edit to a protected page
Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here | ||

Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring. Capitals00 (talk) 01:52, 26 April 2025 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. A09|(talk) 08:31, 26 April 2025 (UTC)
Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Low percentage of edits are vandalism; not an unexpected amount. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 17:08, 26 April 2025 (UTC)
Reason: People from other countries and specially from Pakistan are making false edits and put neutrality of this page on crisis. I might not edit this page anymore but please protect this page as Extended Confirm Portection. It is going really out of hand and can not control the level of Vandalism. Hypothetical Painter (talk) 12:25, 26 April 2025 (UTC)
Extended confirmed protected indefinitely. Per WP:CT/IPA. OhNoitsJamie Talk 15:31, 26 April 2025 (UTC)

- Seconded. An account even used LLM to create an edit. Juxlos (talk) 15:32, 26 April 2025 (UTC)
Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Annh07 (talk) 13:17, 26 April 2025 (UTC)
Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content. — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 13:19, 26 April 2025 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. randomdude121 13:36, 26 April 2025 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – One vandal using multiple IPs/accounts to disrupt this page recently. Entranced98 (talk) 14:11, 26 April 2025 (UTC)
- Semi-protected for a period of two days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 17:07, 26 April 2025 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – IP-hopping vandalism issues recently. Entranced98 (talk) 14:13, 26 April 2025 (UTC)
- Semi-protected indefinitely. * Pppery * it has begun... 15:59, 26 April 2025 (UTC)
Indefinite full protection: Persistent vandalism – This article has a long history of edit warring and vandalism, and has several earlier page protections over the years. Recently this article has been the target of a 4-account sock who is now editing as an IP. ▶ I am Grorp ◀ 15:32, 26 April 2025 (UTC)
Reason: Highly controversial topic from countries with massive numbers of rather inflamed accounts. One even used LLM to generate POV content. Same as the border skirmishes article, need indefinite ECP. Juxlos (talk) 15:34, 26 April 2025 (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 ITalk to my owner:Online 15:39, 26 April 2025 (UTC)
Already protected by administrator Sohom Datta. * Pppery * it has begun... 15:58, 26 April 2025 (UTC)
Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Persistent disruptive editing – This page is consistently disrupted, also a controversial topic [ARBITRATION] iirc, should be protected. Noorullah (talk) 16:18, 26 April 2025 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – We have this IP address who has been targeting this page for a while, and I do not think they will stop soon. Locking the page for a while might push them to stop, as clearly we are not able to block this IP address, see User contributions for 2A0A:EF40:1395:D501:5971:8629:EBA9:4FCE. FuzzyMagma (talk) 17:10, 26 April 2025 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Repeated vandalism by block-evading IPs. See (1), (2), (3). Nahida 🌷 17:11, 26 April 2025 (UTC)
- Wanted to note this same page only just had page protection expire today. Nahida 🌷 17:12, 26 April 2025 (UTC)
Current requests for reduction in protection level
Before posting, first discuss with the protecting admin on their talk page. Post below only if you receive no 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 archives if you cannot find your request. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.
Current requests for edits to a protected page
Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here
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
{{Edit COI}}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.
