Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 11:09, 30 November 2013

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

Shortcuts WP:RFPP WP:RFP WP:RPP 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. Skip to table of contents requests to raise protection lower protection requested edits (purge) Request protection of a page, or increasing the protection level Request protection Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level Request unprotection Request a specific edit to a protected page Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here Request edit

Current requests for increase in protection level

Diet Coke and Mentos eruption (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Page is the subject of a common urban legend. In the last 90 days, over 40 edits by IPs have been reverted and none retained. There have been only a couple of minor retained edits, by registered users. —— 09:52, 30 November 2013 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Recurring IP edits that change information that's cited and verifiable by a reliable source after previous temporary protection expired. IsaacAA (talk) 08:48, 30 November 2013 (UTC)

File:AFC-Logo Decline.svg (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Creation protection: High-visibility Commons file. Little conceivable need for a local file description page, yet it has been created for tests or vandalism (and subsequently deleted as CSD F2) four times already. SuperMarioMan 05:29, 30 November 2013 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: Previously salted title created as a soft redirect, should be protected against potential new user "oppsies". Technical 13 (talk) 22:25, 29 November 2013 (UTC)

Is there a reason that this should be exempted from the prohibition against preemptive protection? Mark Arsten (talk) 04:31, 30 November 2013 (UTC)

’’’Temporary semi-protection: Random people deleting sourced information and adding unsourced & obviously no true information. It's not vandalism yet but it's most certainly disruptive.

Current requests for reduction in protection level

• WP:RFUP
• WP:RFPU

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.

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

Temporary semi-protection: BLP policy violations – Article is attracting a lot of poor edits from anons. Kejriwal is a high-profile leader of a new-ish political party currently involved in an election campaign in Delhi (Aam Aadmi Party). Can we semi until the elections are over? A fortnight should do it. . Sitush (talk) 11:09, 30 November 2013 (UTC)

Current requests for edits to a protected page

• WP:RFED

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.
