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 extended confirmed protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Requesting increase in protection (again) because the current semi-protection hasn't even lapsed yet and the disruptive editing of unsourced content has persisted. This unfortunately seems necessary. Trailblazer101 (talk) 06:47, 13 March 2025 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Parksfan1955 (talk) 08:16, 13 March 2025 (UTC)
Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Favonian (talk) 13:58, 13 March 2025 (UTC)
Reason: Extremely high level of egregious edits, sometimes implying he was "headshot" or he committed sexual crimes or that he is a nazi every since he won the election. The page was temporarily protection a while ago but that expired. Theofunny (talk) 10:09, 13 March 2025 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – IP/brand new users disruption an edit-warring. ---Wikaviani (talk) (contribs) 11:07, 13 March 2025 (UTC)
Reason: Users consistently edit warring over Tsoi's place of death, between the Latvian SSR and the Republic of Latvia. As Latvia's declaration of independence took place on May 4, 1990, Viktor Tsoi died within the Republic, not the Soviet Union. I am requesting page protection to prevent further edit warring over his place of death. PhoenixCaelestis (Talk) (Contribs) 11:48, 13 March 2025 (UTC)
- You and the two IP addresses pushing this edit seem to be unwilling to discuss your edit against longstanding consensus in talk, so it's quite interesting that you're requesting page protection the moment someone reverted you. michael60634 / talk / contributions 14:20, 13 March 2025 (UTC)
Reason: Indefinite semi-protection: This article has had disruptive edits for almost a year where IPs add the same content over and over and are reverted over and over. The IPs never use edit summaries or respond to talk page warnings. Sometimes the IPs get banned, but just resume once the block expires. Every aspect of their edits violate guidelines of WP:V and are against all guidelines established at MOS:TV. Zatima was another target of theirs, but that got semi-protection last month and all disruptive editing to that article ceased. Along with the main article mentioned, Power Book III: Raising Kanan and The Chi also receive the exact same disruptive edits and would benefit from long-term semi-protection. Thank you.

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.
