Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – See WP:ANI#Dorje Shugden Controversy. Dougweller (talk) 10:13, 16 April 2014 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. There haven't been any edits by non-autoconfirmed users in around 3 weeks and if Truthsayer62 comes back with socks we can deal with them or semi the page then, am I missing something Doug?

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.

Misplaced Pages:Categories for discussion/Working (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

This page was fully protected in 2009 to prevent vandals from activating the bots that it controls. However, I'm currently involved in closing CFD discussions to help clear out the backlog. Could you reduce CFD/W to template protection so that I can perform the closures properly, by activating Cydebot? The number of template editors is far lower than the number of admins; I believe that these users can be trusted with access to the page. As of now, the protecting administrator has not responded to a request to change the protection level. Thanks. DavidLeighEllis (talk) 22:48, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

Note: This request contravenes protection policy (see WP:TEMP-P); I'm not convinced we want to go down this path. Spike Wilbury (talk) 12:02, 16 April 2014 (UTC)

Understood. I will file a BRFA instead so that I run my own bot to effectuate the CFD closures. DavidLeighEllis (talk) 14:34, 16 April 2014 (UTC)

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.
