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

Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing. Skitash (talk) 14:17, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
Reason: Part of the Israeli-Palestinian topic area, should be automatically extended-confirmed protected per PIA5. QuicoleJR (talk) 14:39, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
Reason: Persistent addition of unsourced content. Waxworker (talk) 15:17, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
Semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – this page is a mess. FMSky (talk) 15:46, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: There is a high level of unregistered users that constantly add in skaters or characters that are unconfirmed for the game, leading to constant manual removal. As there are new announcements concerning the game almost daily, there will be constant vandalism until the game releases in July, thus semi-protection should do fine.

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 17:08, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
User(s) blocked: 81.9.126.17 (talk · contribs). Favonian (talk) 17:17, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
Reason: Repeated BLP violations by IP editors. This page has been semi-protected four times for the same thing, might be worth considering a longer or indefinite semi-protection. Yhvr (talk) 17:20, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – There have already been 2 instances of vandalism in the one day since the last protection. Given Flagg has a very high profile I don't see this subsiding anytime soon. GPL93 (talk) 18:27, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Filmssssssssssss (talk) 18:49, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
- List of TV5 (Philippine TV network) original programming (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Extended confirmed protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Continuous addition of unsourced information by IPs that violates WP:NOTTVGUIDE. Constant warnings yet they keep coming. CNMall41 (talk) 18:58, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing. Mike Allen 20:04, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – mostly from IP users. 𝙳.𝟷𝟾𝚝𝚑 (𝚃𝚊𝚕𝚔) 20:28, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Persistent vandalism - people constantly trying to redirect it to another page. Gommeh (talk/contribs) 21:54, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
- Automated comment: One or more pages in this request appear to already be protected. Please confirm.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 22:18, 3 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.
"Israeli soldiers have summarily executed Palestinian civilians, often in front of their families." This is one citation that leads to another citation (why not list the original reference?) where it describes a single alleged incident that has been disputed. The original citation is careful to use the term 'alleged' and 'still under verification' and yet the wiki page does not say 'alleged' or 'accused of' - and goes on to add the word 'often', even though only one alleged incident is referenced. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 169.230.248.39 (talk) 02:19, 28 March 2025 (UTC)
