    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.

    Sonny Kiss

    Reason: Falsification of sources, constant removal of content, unsourced statements, several reversions through the years from multiple users and anons. Where is the source claiming she has a new name? Not even her Instagram says that. Skemous (talk) 22:13, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

    Declined – Warn the user appropriately then report them to AIV or ANI if they continue. This is essentially one user, Writersluck777. It's always better to engage single users directly than to shut down the page. Lectonar (talk) 11:00, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

    Sheikh Mujibur Rahman

    Extended confirmed protection: Persistent vandalism – Adding controversial infos and undiscussed edits by new users. Niasoh ❯❯❯ Wanna chat? 22:59, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

    Declined – Warn the user appropriately then report them to AIV or ANI if they continue. Lectonar (talk) 11:00, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

    David Bowie Discography

    Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry. Home Lander (talk) 23:14, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

    User(s) blocked. Disruptive edits are months apart. Lectonar (talk) 11:01, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

    Jethro Tull (disambiguation)

    Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry. Home Lander (talk) 23:15, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

    User(s) blocked. Lectonar (talk) 11:01, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

    Dyab Abou Jahjah

    Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement – WP:PIA, as the article relates to the recent Israel-Arab conflict. Badbluebus (talk) 23:35, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Yes it does, but the last disruptive edit was about a month ago. Lectonar (talk) 09:14, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

    Glossary of cricket terms

    Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Repeated IP vandal, despite talk page warnings. Vestrian24Bio 10:15, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

    Declined – Warn the user appropriately then report them to AIV or ANI if they continue. BusterD (talk) 11:58, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

    Toxic (Indian film)

    Reason: The article has been repeatedly vandalized by unregistered users and IPs, causing unnecessary disruption. Given that it's a new and controversial topic, the constant editing wars and vandalism are making it difficult to maintain its integrity. Semi-protection would help ensure that only more experienced users can contribute, preserving the quality of the content. Bolly ka Badshah (talk) 10:22, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

    Temporary semi-protection provides a limited, but essential, layer of security, offering protection for a period of time to prevent vandalism or disruption, while still allowing for contributions from a broader range of users. Bolly ka Badshah (talk) 10:24, 8 January 2025 (UTC)
    Toxic:_A_Fairy_Tale_for_Grown-Ups page is here now Bolly ka Badshah (talk) 12:52, 8 January 2025 (UTC)
    Declined You just created that article today. It seems premature to protect it. As an aside, unregistered users and IPs are the same thing. Bbb23 (talk) 13:35, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

    Majha

    Indefinite Semi-protection: High level of IP vandalism. Sutyarashi (talk) 10:50, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

    Semi-protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. @Sutyarashi: Please take care to not violate WP:3RR when reverting edits. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 13:57, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

    Diddy parties

    Reason: Persistent Vandalism - Removal or changing of content that might be considered as vandalism. Galaxybeing (talk) 11:59, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

    Already protected by administrator Acroterion. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 13:50, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

    Syrian Army

    Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Presisting adding of unreference info. Myrabert01 (talk) 13:10, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

    User(s) blocked. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 14:02, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

    Current requests for reduction in protection level

    Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level Request 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.

    Shortcuts

    Template:Abuse filter

    Reason: Template-protected redirects to semi-protected template doesn't make sense. Nobody (talk) 08:29, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

    @Ixfd64: last protecting admin. Lectonar (talk) 11:08, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

    Current requests for edits to a protected page

    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 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.
