    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

    Superman Returns

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – An IP 73.94.200.XXX has persisted with an edit for a few weeks now that slips in sneaky vandalism among a much greater change (much of which seems to be legitimate). One example would be the addition of fake cast members in the infobox. Betty Logan (talk) 01:20, 4 February 2020 (UTC)

    Miss USA 2020

    Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. { } 02:21, 4 February 2020 (UTC)

    Pending-changes protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. qedk (t 桜 c) 19:36, 4 February 2020 (UTC)

    Yeet (disambiguation)

    Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. -- Deepfriedokra 06:26, 4 February 2020 (UTC)
    Already protected. -- Deepfriedokra 06:26, 4 February 2020 (UTC)

    Semi-protection: High level of vandalism. This Yeet (disambiguation) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) should properly occupy Yeet (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views), which is a creation-protected location. The same vandalism that afflicted Yeet also applies to this page, because of the wikt:yeet usage on the internet. Thus the disambiguation pagename and the base pagename locations need edit protection, and the disambiguation page should occupy the base location. 67.70.33.184 (talk) 05:41, 4 February 2020 (UTC)

    Note: Not the venue for a page move discussion, but I disagree anyway. -- Deepfriedokra 06:26, 4 February 2020 (UTC)

    Daniel Craig

    Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – recent IP edits have been consistently reverted despite PC protection, numerous previous semiprotections. Will120 (talk) 06:40, 4 February 2020 (UTC)

    Semi-protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. -- Deepfriedokra 07:00, 4 February 2020 (UTC)
    Note: PC remains -- Deepfriedokra 07:00, 4 February 2020 (UTC)

    Segun Adebutu

    Temporary extended confirmed: Persistent disruptive editing – Requesting page protection on the subject for at least a week pending when the controversy section can be well written with facts and proper reliable sources, there's continuous revert and addition of contents to it by new users. Lapablo (talk) 10:11, 4 February 2020 (UTC)

    Note: (Non-administrator observation) It seems there's a content dispute going on. I'd recommend any admins processing this request to tread carefully. Invalid (talk) 15:09, 4 February 2020 (UTC)

    Prague

    Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing (South Korea vs Korea, China vs Mainland China etc.) by IP edits, popular theme. Jklamo (talk) 15:24, 4 February 2020 (UTC)

    Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. -- Deepfriedokra 17:51, 4 February 2020 (UTC)

    List of pedophile and pederast advocacy organizations

    Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – This is a BLP violation magnet (e.g., people adding names). Crossroads 16:30, 4 February 2020 (UTC)

    Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. -- Deepfriedokra 17:54, 4 February 2020 (UTC)
    Pending-changes protected for a period of 1 year, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. -- Deepfriedokra 17:54, 4 February 2020 (UTC)

    Semi-protection: High level of vandalism going on, since the subject is hot topic in India. Need protection for at least one month till trial starts which will be in March. Dey subrata (talk) 17:20, 4 February 2020 (UTC)

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. qedk (t 桜 c) 19:33, 4 February 2020 (UTC)

    Te Pahi

    Temporary Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism by IP-hopping editor. DerbyCountyinNZ 17:21, 4 February 2020 (UTC)

    Note: typo -- Deepfriedokra 18:51, 4 February 2020 (UTC)
    Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. I have posted to ANI, though it looks like the edit warring stopped 10 hours ago.-- Deepfriedokra 19:04, 4 February 2020 (UTC)

    Semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Previous IP editor blocked for edit warring but now appears that they are socking. Semi protection for one week would be helpful to prevent further socking. Enwebb (talk) 18:44, 4 February 2020 (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.

    Bigg Boss (Malayalam season 2)

    Reduction in protection level: Semi-protected to unprotected. The sock IP was blocked and seems no more active. Protecting a whole page for a single person is no more necessary. The other edits going on the page is updating tables (non-disputable content) as the show is currently running.

    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.
