    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.

    Current requests for protection

    Temporary semi-protection vandalism, Three incidents since April 2008, most recently in November. hjweth (talk) 22:17, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Reverting the vandalism would be better, as the page has been vandalised so little for months. The Helpful One 22:24, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

    Real Chance of Love (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

    Temporary semi-protection vandalism, There has been a considerable amount of vandalism on this page by numeric IPs. This is a show currently airing, and thus has a bit more interest than usual. It would be great if we could get semi-protection for about 8 to 10 weeks, at which point the show will have concluded (last episode January 12, 2008). If this is not possible, any semi-protection is welcomed. Thank you for your consideration. Plastikspork (talk) 21:54, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

    Semi-protected for a period of 3 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected.. The page seems to have been vandalised over around the past 2 months, so I'll give you 3 months. The Helpful One 22:22, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

    semi-protection vandalism, I actually have a question and have used this to get your attention: This page HAS as silver lock on it, saying that it IS semi-protected. However, IP's are still vandalizing it. How can that be?.T Berg Drop a Line ޗ pls 20:50, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

    temporary semi-protection Vandalism, an IP editor is regularly vandalizing this little article about an Irish town. Since the article is very stable, a month of semi would seem reasonable. looie496 (talk) 17:29, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

    indefinite semi-protection vandalism/disruptive reverts Anon addresses keep on reverting to a version without sources and refuses to discuss/communicate. MythSearcher 07:49, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. SoWhy 11:19, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
    I don't know, 6 reverts in 12 days looks quite serious to me, 4 of them are from the 189.106 range with 5 different IPs that make it hard for AIV to work on. MythSearcher 14:09, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
    Do you think a range block would be in order, then? —Mizu onna sango15 17:20, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
    Note: No where near enough. That's an average of one revert every other day. That's nothing near a level warranting protection, or range blocking. Warn and block as appropriate. لennavecia 20:34, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

    Current requests for unprotection

    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.

    Earthquake (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

    It's been semi-protected since early September. There may be IPs that are of value. ~the editorofthewiki ~ 17:23, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

    Unprotected Ioeth (talk contribs friendly) 18:39, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

    Current requests for edits to a protected page

    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 Misplaced Pages:Suggestions for COI compliance), the {{Edit COI}} template should be used.
    • Requests to move move-protected pages should be made at Misplaced Pages: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.

    Template:Zh-c (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

    Along with:

    There are about 60+ Chinese-language multilingual support templates (for better or worse) and I've created a new sub-category for them under Category:Multilingual support templates. The ones listed above are protected so I could not move them to the new category. Please unprotect. Thanks. Hong Qi Gong (Talk - Contribs) 16:17, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

    Not unprotected Request the edits to these high-visibility templates by using {{Editprotected}}. Alternately, leave a message on my talk page listing all of the chinese language templates that need to have the category added and what should be added to them and I will do it.

    Semi-protection requested. Several IPs and newly created accounts with similar names (so looks like probably socking) keep inserting no-consensus additions while refusing to discuss the matter at the talk page, despite the additions being challenged at the talk page.

    Template:Steven Spielberg (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

    Semi-protection. A load of IPs and new editors have something against short films and Spielberg's (TV) movie debut, and keep removing these. By semi-protecting the template it could inspire arguments instead rather than wasting editors' time to undo an unexplained removal. Alientraveller (talk) 13:53, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
