Wikipedia:Requests for page protection
| Welcome—request protection of a page, file, or template here. | ||
|---|---|---|
|
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 addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – Same as WWE Women's Tag Team Championship. Mann Mann (talk) 04:00, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
Reason: The IP-hopping WP:GENREWARRIOR has returned at 190.114.41.245 shortly after their three month block at that address ended, making the same edits of removing sourced info based on their original research on music genres. Xfansd (talk) 04:39, 22 December 2024 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection.. Talkpage hasn't been edited since December 3. Have semi-protected the article per the report a few entries above. Euryalus (talk) 08:26, 22 December 2024 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Persistent additions of poorly sourced advertising fluff, and removal of info that is not unequivocally promotional, by IP users; mentions of "unauthorised persons" sound like there's a COI involved. Article has previously been protected multiple times for the same reason. bonadea contributions talk 09:32, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – ongoing vandalism of the infobox against consensus despite repeated warnings and clear markup within the editing. All my warmest wishes, ItsKesha (talk) 09:43, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – A lot of unsourced/unreliable edits by IP users in the recent days. The new info needs to be confirmed by WWE. Requesting 2-week protection. Mann Mann (talk) 10:12, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing. Remsense ‥ 论 11:23, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
Reason: Second time requesting rfpp. Offending IP address range was blocked and a note on a possible 2nd IP vandalising page. Please protect or block the 122.11.212.xxx range. ~ JASWE (talk) 11:27, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
Current requests for reduction in protection level
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.
Reason: Protection is too high and it was for sockpuppetry in 2018. It's nearly 2025 now so if it needs protecting just do pending changes or semi-protection but unprotection would be better I think. 147.10.234.99 (talk) 23:19, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
Current requests for edits to a protected page
Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here
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 Wikipedia:Suggestions for COI compliance), the
{{Edit COI}}template should be used. - Requests to move move-protected pages should be made at Wikipedia: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.
Change 16,000 civilians (May 2024)[43] to 16,000 civilians (May 2024)[42]

Why have you unreverted my revision on the Hayden Panettiere artricle by removing Joe Somebody (2001) with Tim Allen? 86.130.33.243 (talk) 22:31, 16 December 2024 (UTC)
