    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 increase in protection level

    Place requests for new or upgrading of article protection, upload protection, or create protection at the BOTTOM of this section. Check the archive of fulfilled and denied requests or, failing that, the page history if you cannot find your request. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.

    Billy Ward (boxer)

    Semi-protection: Not sure how best to deal with this--persistent removal of sourced content re: subject's suicide, replaced with euphemisms and memorial prose. 2601:188:0:ABE6:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 13:01, 7 August 2015 (UTC)

    Note: I've left a note on the IPs talk page and will monitor the situation. Jezebel's Ponyo 22:38, 7 August 2015 (UTC)
    I'm taking this as a Declined as we have admin eyes watching now. tutterMouse (talk) 19:39, 8 August 2015 (UTC)

    Bougainville Civil War

    Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – One day, persistent creation of copyright violation links to YouTube, see talk and article history. Peacemaker67 (crack... thump) 01:14, 8 August 2015 (UTC)

    and please freeze it as per my last rollback, he's just re-added the links again. Thanks, Peacemaker67 (crack... thump) 01:21, 8 August 2015 (UTC)
    withdrawn. He has removed all but one, appears to be working through them. Peacemaker67 (crack... thump) 03:03, 8 August 2015 (UTC)

    Haylie Duff

    Temporary semi-protection: BLP policy violations. Binksternet (talk) 03:13, 8 August 2015 (UTC)

    Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected.--Ymblanter (talk) 21:34, 8 August 2015 (UTC)

    Easycore

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing. General Ization 03:41, 8 August 2015 (UTC)

    Note: I've sent it to AfD, because it's an almost-WP:G4 situation (it was deleted before, but this isn't an exact copy, but it's still as bad). That might stop the edit war (which seems to be over that very thing) for the time being and will likely result in a WP:SALT or protected redirect. If it does continue, however, either update this or re-request protection. Obviously any other admin is free to go ahead and protect, too. --slakr 10:48, 8 August 2015 (UTC)
    Declined, the edit-warring seems to have stopped. Sorry for not reacting on time.--Ymblanter (talk) 21:39, 8 August 2015 (UTC)
    Semi-protected for a period of the duration of the AfD, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. –Darkwind (talk) 22:14, 8 August 2015 (UTC)
    Err, sorry, didn't mean to "overrule" you, I just had the tabs open for a while and came to a different conclusion. –Darkwind (talk) 22:15, 8 August 2015 (UTC)

    Hang Nadim Airport

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – the ip Indonesia was added again this article who post from their talk pages in their translation machine matter this happened. Oripaypaykim (talk) 04:18, 8 August 2015 (UTC)

    User(s) blocked. — MusikAnimal 16:46, 8 August 2015 (UTC)

    Sudeep

    Semi-protection: In spite of repeated warnings, the page is subject to vandalism, disruptive editing and addition of unsourced information, mostly by possible 'fans' of the subject.--Kannada123 (talk) 06:30, 8 August 2015 (UTC)

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection.--Ymblanter (talk) 21:41, 8 August 2015 (UTC)

    Ahmadiyya

    Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – Please protect the page after reverting to the original diff. The current version is the wrong version which adds to the lead the term "qadiani" a derogatory religious slur for Ahmadis. --Peaceworld 09:42, 8 August 2015 (UTC)

    Declined @Peaceworld111: If this is an edit war, it is slow motion, and not in need of a lock. As for the difference between you and the other user over the use of a particular term, that's what the talk page is for - to discuss and provide evidence for people's positions.

    Misplaced Pages:Sandbox

    Indefinite full protection: Persistent vandalism – Vandalism. A8v (talk) 11:35, 8 August 2015 (UTC)

    that would undermine the purpose of Sandbox. short temporary protection is better.--Peaceworld 12:29, 8 August 2015 (UTC)
    Declined I think it's fine... unless they're inserting copyrighted information or BLP violations, which I don't see, we should keep this open as that's exactly what it's intended for. Simple childish vandalism doesn't really matter there, I would argue. Meanwhile the bot doesn't mind continually restoring the sandbox template that the one anonymous user keeps removing. — MusikAnimal 16:44, 8 August 2015 (UTC)

    Srimanthudu

    Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – New film release whose protection was expired two days back. Lot of IP vandalism is happening and a reasonably long period of protection shall be helpful. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 13:23, 8 August 2015 (UTC)

    Semi-protection: I know that RFPP doesn't typically do preemptive page protections, but this band just invited all of their Facebook followers to come mess with their Misplaced Pages page.

    Hungama TV

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – I am requesting a longer page protection due to disruptive editing from various people who add unsourced content and per WP:NOTDIR Misplaced Pages is not a TV guide or broadcast.

By "fancruft" I mean adding information about non-official versions of Agar.io, addition of inappropiate links, etc. At least a 3-day protection should do the thing. TL22 (talk) 21:40, 8 August 2015 (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.

    Template:Nickelodeon original series and Nicktoons

    Unprotection Has been protected for too long and hasn't had much vandalism. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.108.23.15 (talk • contribs)

    House of Anubis

    Unprotection: A show that finished two years ago with no evidence of recent vandalism. Iady391 | Talk to me here 20:53, 8 August 2015 (UTC)

    Current requests for edits to a protected page

    Further information: Misplaced Pages:Edit requests 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.

    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.
