    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.

    List of Ben 10 (2016 TV series) episodes

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Everyday 3-4 disruptive editing about aired, or upcoming episode. As episodes aired with gap of many days, and with different sequence in episodes. That is leading to disruptive editing from mostly IP users, making it difficult to maintain/stabilise the article. Requesting autoconfirmed protection for at least 30 days. Thanks. —usernamekiran(talk) 17:25, 13 May 2017 (UTC)

    Semi-protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected.--Ymblanter (talk) 18:02, 14 May 2017 (UTC)

    Talk:Destination1

    Indefinite create protection: Repeatedly recreated – Created and deleted eight times, why I don't know... JMHamo (talk) 18:59, 13 May 2017 (UTC)

    • Hold on: This might be more innocent than it looks. I've encountered two {{merge}} tags pointing at it. I suspect it's an old documentation example parameter that someone failed to change when tagging. I'm fixing the tags, which may make this moot. See Special:WhatLinksHere/Talk:Destination1. Murph9000 (talk) 19:06, 13 May 2017 (UTC)
    • Ok, I've removed all of the malformed merge tags where there was no obvious discussion started, and corrected those which had at least some discussion. It was down to the instructions in Misplaced Pages:Merging, and some lazy or just bad tagging from a variety of people who did a drive by tag without starting a discussion or checking their work. So, that explains what was going on. The page creation here is explained and innocent (there were around a dozen pages with a big notice telling people to create this talk page). It might still be worth protecting if we expect the same mistakes to repeat themselves. Alternatively, we can fix the template, docs, or both to prevent it. Murph9000 (talk) 19:26, 13 May 2017 (UTC)
    Creation protected--Ymblanter (talk) 18:04, 14 May 2017 (UTC)

    Ransomware

    Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – Ongoing slow-motion edit war over cryptoviral extortion. Jasper Deng (talk) 23:03, 13 May 2017 (UTC)

    Fully protected for a period of 3 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Lectonar (talk) 19:04, 14 May 2017 (UTC)

    Proud Boys

    Temporary semi-protection: extensive vandalism. Neutrality 23:39, 13 May 2017 (UTC)

    Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Lectonar (talk) 18:51, 14 May 2017 (UTC)

    Sprout (TV network)

    Temporary semi-protection: The kids TV network IP vandals were using Universal Kids to dump unsourced shows and schedules on that article even though it's not on the air until September 9 and has literally nothing about it; that's already been protected until Labor Day, but then was rightfully redirected because we have little to nothing about the new channel. Thus, they've moved on to Sprout, which UK is replacing with the same detritus and low-quality sources, thus I'm asking for three months there too to save our sanity during the US summer break. Nate • (chatter) 23:58, 13 May 2017 (UTC)

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Lectonar (talk) 19:53, 14 May 2017 (UTC)

    2017 FIA Formula 2 Championship

    Temporary semi-protection: ongoing vandalism from anonymous IP address after sister article 2017 GP3 Series was semi-protected because of their actions (I would report them, but I don't know how to report IP vandals). Prisonermonkeys (talk) 00:24, 14 May 2017 (UTC)

    User(s) blocked. Lectonar (talk) 19:54, 14 May 2017 (UTC)

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – IPs repeatedly adding current airing info in violation of WP:NOTTVGUIDE. DonIago (talk) 03:13, 14 May 2017 (UTC)

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Lectonar (talk) 19:55, 14 May 2017 (UTC)

    Southern Poverty Law Center

    Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – more edit warring. – S. Rich (talk) 03:41, 14 May 2017 (UTC) NOTE: I've posted an {{inuse}} template, but would like the RPP to go into effect immediately. Just remove the template when protecting. Thanks. 04:05, 14 May 2017 (UTC)

    Jeez, in looking at the recent Talk:Southern Poverty Law Center posts, it looks like multiple issues are in contention. Please protect for a couple of weeks. Thanks again. – S. Rich (talk) 04:12, 14 May 2017 (UTC)
    I'm done for now with my "inuse" template. Please lock down now so that discussion can ensue. – S. Rich (talk) 06:04, 14 May 2017 (UTC)

    User(s) blocked. AlexiusHoratius 16:26, 14 May 2017 (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.

    SahBabii

    Please unprotect SahBabii. He is now notable and I have prepared a draft. He is signed to Warner Brothers Records, on the Billboard charts, write up in NY Times and in radio rotation all over the world. Your help in this matter is greatly appreciated.Kimber0316 (talk) 18:41, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

    I take it you would like Draft:SahBabii unprotected. @RHaworth:, the protecting admin. And I think this should go to WP:Refund, as there are several problems here which are beyond the scope of unprotection Lectonar (talk) 17:44, 12 May 2017 (UTC)
    @Lectonar: Isn't this yet another sock of OfficialPankajPatidar? --NeilN 09:12, 14 May 2017 (UTC)
    @NeilN: Of course it is possible, but after reading the op's talk-page and their help-desk query, I agfed. That's why I pinged RHaworth; I see no problem in lifting the protection of the draft-page. The article is another problem, as the title is blacklisted. Lectonar (talk) 18:48, 14 May 2017 (UTC)

    United States presidential election, 2020

    Can we unprotect this page? Im pretty sure it became protected due to vandalism but i beliebve that issue has long passed Crewcamel (talk) 05:24, 14 May 2017 (UTC)

    @Vanamonde93:--Ymblanter (talk) 08:08, 14 May 2017 (UTC)

    Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia

    Unprotection: Recommend replacing with a fully protected {{wiktionary redirect}}. feminist 07:51, 14 May 2017 (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.

    Handled requests

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