    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.

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Ongoing Vandalism. TF 13:37, 2 January 2016 (UTC)

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection., I see some unhelpful edits but no clear disruption in the last several days.--Ymblanter (talk) 12:27, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

    Regressive left

    Temporary semi-protection: Due to the political nature of the page, it is seen persistent IP vandelism from vested interests on either side, mass-deletions etc. At the moment the article is under consideration for deletion and until this is adjudicated I think having the article under semi-protection would be manifestly useful. Mrkingpenguin (talk) 13:57, 2 January 2016 (UTC)

    Semi-protected for a period of 3 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected.--Ymblanter (talk) 12:56, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

    Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – IP addresses keep vandalising the article, which I am hardly able to rectify. Kailash29792 (talk) 16:06, 2 January 2016 (UTC)

    Declined. This is just one IP, it this is vandalism (which I after a superficial check was not able to determine), please apply at WP:AIV.--Ymblanter (talk) 14:15, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

    Michael Mansell

    Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing - Michael Mansell is a living lawyer and activist of Aboriginal descent. Unregistered users have repeatedly blanked out the information about his ethnicity. Given the nature of Mansell's work as an Aboriginal activist, these disruptive edits can be considered to have a political or personally negative aspect.

    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.

    Denial of the Holodomor

    Nakon full protected the page a day or so ago in response to my request. The editors involved, including me, have reached an agreement on the talk page as to how to proceed. The page can be unprotected now. Kingsindian ♝ ♚ 20:27, 2 January 2016 (UTC)

    Bigg Boss 9

    Temporary pending changes: Persistent disruptive editing – Due to violation of Misplaced Pages is not a crystal ball policies users updating evictions and entries without an official statement. GSS (talk) 06:40, 3 January 2016 (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.
