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. ~~~~ |

July 2013 Latakia explosion
Temporal semi-protection: the page "July 2013 Latakia explosion" is a redirect, created by merging an article per standard procedure. Currently a changing range of IPs, which is likely identified with a banned sock master, is constantly recreating the article.GreyShark (dibra) 18:11, 10 November 2015 (UTC)

- Comment: I'm not seeing vandalism here. I do see persistent editing by users (possibly SPA?), but I don't think protection is needed at this time. ~Oshwah~ (talk) (contribs) 10:42, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

Semi-protection: High level of disruption. IPs constantly add unsupported sales figures as well as chart peaks.--Harout72 (talk) 13:57, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

Lee Kun-hee
- Lee Kun-hee ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Temporary pending changes: BLP policy violations – I have already protected this page because the unsourced death contributions were happening now. However, I'm asking for an admin to review my protection because I used to work for Samsung and I know Lee Kun-Hee's family so I have a conflict of interest. No reliable news source is confirming his death and the page has only just come off protection from the same rumours being added a few months ago. . 5 albert square (talk) 14:10, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

- Already protected by 5 albert square Good call - I'd say that was the most conservative thing possible given the situation. If it persists upon expiry, I would endorse putting it on pc-indef. And if PC alone doesn't cut it, don't hesitate to add semi for a few weeks. Samsara 16:02, 12 November 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.
- 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 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 fully-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.
