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.

Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Semi-protection: An IP keeps on re-adding redundant information to an infobox. As a general matter, I believe the semi-protection should be indefinite, since the subject matter of the article is extremely contentious. – Herzen (talk) 00:53, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

List of The Simpsons episodes (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Lots of confusing/disruptive edits done by IP users and vandalisers . Chamith (talk) 00:47, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

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

Temporary semi-protection: BLP policy violations – The article was brought out of full protection earlier today, but has already been vandalized with defamatory content. I don't see this kind of behavior ceasing any time soon. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 23:10, 12 October 2014 (UTC)

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

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Multiple IP vandals, new SPAs all vandalizing, mostly to replace elements of the page with those of a competing team (the New England Patriots.) --Noren (talk) 22:54, 12 October 2014 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of ten days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. --Bongwarrior (talk) 23:02, 12 October 2014 (UTC)

Template:Under construction (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Indefinite template protection: Highly visible template – It comes and goes in every page; 1,800+ transclusions. George Ho (talk) 22:48, 12 October 2014 (UTC)

Dan Vs. (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Full protection: Some users keep adding an upcoming 4th season to premiere on the Cartoon Network when there isn't a reliable source found on the Internet. AdamDeanHall (talk) 22:38, 12 October 2014 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry. Darkness Shines (talk) 22:37, 12 October 2014 (UTC)

User(s) blocked. I've blocked the parent account temporarily and the most recent sockpuppet indefinitely. However, if the problems continue, I'm ready to semi-protect the article.

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

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Multiple IP vandals, appears to be dynamic so blocks wouldnt help. Amortias (T)(C) 21:32, 12 October 2014 (UTC)

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

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Rotating IP addresses. Dennis Bratland (talk) 20:23, 12 October 2014 (UTC)

Template:Error:must be substituted (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Template protection: This is a template that is used as a standard error message for some templates that require substitution to function correctly. Any edits to this template could be considered controversial. Also, its redirect, Template:Error:not substituted, is already subject to a protection level of at least template protection. Steel1943 (talk) 18:12, 12 October 2014 (UTC)

Miss Earth 2014 (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

User changes the original format of the article and other contributions misperception. I have previously called for the protection of the article, but not granted. I am one of those who keeps order in this article, please help. Jaam0121 (talk) 17:11, 12 October 2014 (UTC)

Automated comment: A request for protection/unprotection was recently made for this page, and was denied at some point within the last 8 days.—cyberbot I _Online 17:14, 12 October 2014 (UTC)

RT (TV network) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Indefinite semi-protection: History of IP meatpuppeting or sockpuppeting to bury the truth. Habitual constant distortion of edits to gradually remove well sourced passages. Every time semi-protection expires, IP's go back to moving information around to gradual deletion. IP's there have made their edits or reverts harder to track by using a different IP each time. If anyone wants to edit it, they should use an account or make a request. - Sidelight 12 05:06, 12 October 2014 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. The last such edit was on 4 October, so protection does not seem justified at this time. Diannaa (talk) 15:02, 12 October 2014 (UTC)

That was a big part of it, then it continues based on that edit, more recent than that. The last such edit was October 10, by the same gradual editing. Also by a username, using that edit to say it wasn't referenced. There is a history of combining IP addresses and SPAs to make hide their edit warring there. This has been going on at least since March. Ok, whatever, I don't expect anything here. - Sidelight 12 16:17, 12 October 2014 (UTC)

Current requests for reduction in 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.

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

No protection: Page history shows a series of redlinked accounts that try to add information critical of the article's subject, while established users edit war with them to keep that information out, sourced or not. I questioned the protecting admin about it here: , admin said that there are BLP issues that protect this company's invention from criticism. Geogene (talk) 23:44, 10 October 2014 (UTC)

Current requests for edits to a protected page

Further information: Misplaced Pages:Edit requests Shortcut

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.

Fulfilled/denied requests

A rolling archive of the last seven days of protection requests can be found at Misplaced Pages:Requests for page protection/Rolling archive.
