    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.

    Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Disruption by IPs. - Ratnahastin (talk) 12:05, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

    Declined - your reverts are restoring a BLP violation. If you fix it with a proper inline source, and other editors disagree with your edit, please discuss on the talk page. Ivanvector (/Edits) 14:42, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

    2025 Canadian federal election

    Full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – Just your basic, textbook edit war: EC users declaring on the talk page that their preferred version has consensus and reverting the article accordingly, while discussion is still ongoing. I am involved. Ivanvector (/Edits) 14:37, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

    Gqeberha

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Repeated unexplained change of the city's name contrary to consensus. Sjö (talk) 14:53, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

    User(s) blocked. As the IP is the only editor editing disruptively, protection is not needed. Ivanvector (/Edits) 15:03, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

    List of hybrid creatures in folklore

    Reason: Request for semi-protection because a vandal using different IPs keeps returning to the page to make multiple unconstructive test edits inserting original research, reverts, and then returns again to repeat the process. Mr Fink (talk) 15:01, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

    User(s) blocked: 2606:9400:ae00::/40 (talk · contribs). 3 months. Favonian (talk) 16:18, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Target for extremely poor taste vandalism Special:Diff/1268385834. DarmaniLink (talk) 15:33, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

    Wasn't isolated either, it's becoming a problem. Special:Diff/1268368521 Special:Diff/1268289592 DarmaniLink (talk) 15:41, 9 January 2025 (UTC)
    Semi-protected for a period of 2 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Ivanvector (/Edits) 17:32, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

    Walter White (Breaking Bad)

    Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – It recently got unprotected, and it's already being vandalized by IP users. I believe it should be indefinitely semi-protected so its good article status doesn't get revoked from all the vandalizing, though you have every right to say that it should only be temporary. OpalYosutebito (talk) 16:09, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

    2025 Cetinje shootings

    Reason: Persistent addition of unsourced content. Borgenland (talk) 16:41, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

    Führer

    Reason: Persistent vandalism, persistent disruptive editing, high-risk page due to subject. Requested protection level: Semi-protection or extended protection due to some logged in users seemingly disruptively editing the page, the hist. of the page looks reminiscent of an edit war due to constant reverting, with some normal edits and vandalism in between. RaschenTechner (talk) 16:56, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

    UNITA

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Persistent Block Evasion by ip's. Untamed1910 (talk) 17:13, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

    User:VSOian

    Reason: Since, I am using this device from a Cyber Cafe. There are many people who also use this device, I don't want any one to, by any chance log in to my Misplaced Pages account. Prevent IP Vandalism. I only, want my ownself, to be able to edit my own Misplaced Pages User page- User:VSOian Thank You. VSOian (talk) 17:22, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

    Karen Bass

    Reason: Temporary semi-protection - Tons of political edits regarding handling of the California wildfire crisis, also just good ol' vandalism. While I do agree the wildfire handling controversy needs to be added, it needs to be sourced and NPOV, unlike what those IPs are doing. Wildfireupdateman :) (talk) 17:25, 9 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

    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.
