Requests for page protection | |
---|---|
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.
If you would like to request a page to be protected or unprotected, please follow the following steps:
=== [[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. ~~~~
=== Short descriptive header === * {{pagelinks|Wikipedia:Example Page Name 1}} * {{pagelinks|Wikipedia:Example Page Name 2}} '''Temporary semi-protection:''' High level of IP vandalism. ~~~~ |

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – A new editor/anon continues to remove content. No discussion, simply deletion. Would like to see discussion. I don't agree with the content, but it is somewhat sourced. Walter Görlitz (talk) 06:40, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – A new editor user:Kaye2Santos continues to remove content. No discussion, simply deletion. Would like to see discussionRaabbustamante (talk) 07:17, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
- Declined Raabbustamante, the new editor had absolutely nothing on their talk page. You should make them aware that changes need to be explained and discussed. I've done so now. NeilN talk to me 13:56, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
Kamala Nehru
- Kamala Nehru ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – IP-hopper repeatedly adding long unencyclopaedic excerpts from a book to the article (which is about Indira Gandhi's mother), material with no other sources for it, and with phrases like "there was of course no question of an Indian wife being anything but entirely chaste". Thomas.W talk 10:16, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

Tekken 7
Semi-protection:constant original research being added on by non registered IPs. the undoing revision edits aren't being enough to stop them. Osh33m (talk) 14:27, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
-
- Declined Osh33m, there is presently one IP who was not specifically informed about our sourcing requirements (I've done so now). If they continue, please warn them accordingly. Dealing with one user is preferable to protecting the article. NeilN talk to me 15:56, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection Disruptive editing by an IP User. I tried blocking this user for sock puppetry, but I don't think I did it right. This user should be blocked though because based on the edit history and this IP User's message on my talk page, this is clearly a sock puppetry case. – Michael (talk) 18:36, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
- Automated comment: @Mikemor92: This request cannot be parsed. Please ensure it follows formatting consistent with the current or previous methods of submission.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 18:37, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Persistent WP:BLP vandalism from multiple IP editors. It may be that this article should be deleted due to other issues, requesting semi-protection at this time so that may be sorted as well. Regards, 19:13, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

Current requests for reduction in protection level
- 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.
- Unprotection requests for 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 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.
Current requests for edits to a protected page
- Ideally, requests should be made on the article talk page rather than here.
- Unless the talk page itself is protected, you may instead add
{{Edit protected}}
,{{Edit template-protected}}
,{{Edit semi-protected}}
or{{Request edit}}
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 Category:Wikipedia protected edit requests, Category:Wikipedia template-protected edit requests, Category:Wikipedia semi-protected edit requests or Category:Requested edits respectively. - Page move requests should be made at Wikipedia:Requested moves, not here.
- If the discussion page and the article are both locked, this page is the right place to request an edit. 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 locked. Please make requests as long as you have a specific edit you wish to make.
