    Welcome—request protection of a page, file, or template here.
    Shortcuts

    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

    Indefinite extended-confirmed protection: Contentious topic restriction. per WP:GS/AA. How come his father is under ecp? 🗽Freedoxm🗽(talk • contribs) 07:15, 19 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Comment - "C. On any page where the restriction is not enforced through extended confirmed protection, this restriction may be enforced by other methods, including page protection, reverts, blocks, the use of pending changes, and appropriate edit filters". @Freedoxm I believe there are instances where pages that fall under GS/AA can have auto confirmed or even no protection if other remedies are applied.

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Don't see any going back a few months. That is what determines whether an article in this particular topic gets protected. Daniel Case (talk) 04:36, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Shū ni Ichido Classmate o Kau Hanashi

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – An IP user who was blocked earlier today for edit warring and personal attacks on this page has returned under another IP to continue to disrupt the page. Should the new IP be blocked, they will likely swap to another one to continue the disruption. silviaASH (inquire within) 09:19, 19 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Since I blocked that user, there has been no fresh disruption. Daniel Case (talk) 04:40, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Vegan Camp Out

    Reason: Editwarring going on. Editors keep changing the page back to incorrect information. I have tried to bring about a resolution with them but they are not interested. I have found out all the information myself through hours of research. Editors admit they are not vegan, don't live in the UK and know nothing about the event. Whereas I do, as I am very involved with the scene here and help lots of vegan businesses to be as accurate as they can online in several places (including Wikipedia) Simply patience 405 (talk) 15:37, 19 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    I think this is an excellent request. Simply patience 405 has been editwarring both logged out and with this account.

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. I don't see a lot of reverting going on, and really this belongs at AN/I where it is already. Daniel Case (talk) 05:15, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Emirates (airline)

    Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Ongoing issue with the fleet number being changed, completely unsourced. I would have requested a rangeblock for the relevant IPs but it seems they're now editing under a user account. ser! (chat to me - see my edits) 16:09, 19 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Palestine–United Kingdom relations

    Extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement. Filmssssssssssss (talk) 17:12, 19 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. And not a primary topic in the current conflict. Daniel Case (talk) 05:31, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Digambara

    Reason: Reason for Protection: The Digambar page is facing repeated vandalism from multiple anonymous and registered users, primarily due to sectarian rivalry. Users from another sect are continuously removing well-sourced content without justification, violating Wikipedia’s neutrality policy. The edits are being made from different IP addresses, indicating coordinated disruptive activity. Despite multiple reversions, the vandalism persists. To maintain content integrity and prevent further edit wars, I request temporary semi-protection to restrict edits to only autoconfirmed users.

    Zizians

    Reason: Persistent disruptive IP editing Eigenbra (talk) 17:28, 19 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Seconding this request. Many of the IP users have been making similar edits, and have been trying to declare consensus on a talk page discussion here based on the agreement of WP:SPA IPs. The page was semi-protected for a week up to March 14, during which the IPs congregated on the talk page, and after the protection ended, they resumed editing.
    I raised a relevant sockpuppet investigation here. Truthnope (talk) 18:51, 19 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Current requests for reduction in protection level

    Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level
    Shortcuts

    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

    Request a specific edit to a protected page
    Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here
    Shortcut

    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.
