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

Talk:Austin S. Miller

• Talk:Austin S. Miller (edit | subject | history | links | watch | logs)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – The continued and persistent additions of IPs and new editors commenting about attempting to contact Miller, or trying to confirm if they were actually contacted by Miller from Facebook (who were contacted by clear scammers) is getting to be fairly disruptive, and the clear warnings against posting such is not working and has been going on for multiple years. Requesting indefinite talk page protection of the lowest level to combat this. I don't think the article needs any protection since these commenters never seem to do anything else and don't edit the article, but not against equal protection either.

Declined Talk pages are not usually protected, and are semi-protected only for a limited duration in the most severe cases of disruption. Edits every few weeks or days aren't enough disruption. I have watchlisted. Lectonar (talk) 08:43, 10 January 2025 (UTC)

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.

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.

Skibidi Toilet

• Skibidi Toilet (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

The whole page is just incorrect. This is an indie animation series and not a meme. Maybe it was a meme 2 years ago but now it is a proper animation series with a deep storyline and intricate details. If you don't believe me, watch one of the newer episodes. The evidence is there. Do research and fix this page and show how it is a proper series which it is instead of lying by saying it's a dumb meme. I know a lot about this series and I know what I'm talking about. Do your research and watch one of the newer episodes. Aeraxe (talk) 08:08, 10 January 2025 (UTC)

@Aeraxe: We couldn't cite those episodes as sources. What we would need is professional reviews of the animation series in order to cover it in that regard. (Or, to use another popular series with about the same status as Skibidi Toilet, see WP:BFDI; much of what applies there would apply to Skibidi Toilet as an animation series.) —Jéské Couriano v^_^v 08:17, 10 January 2025 (UTC)
