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.
Request protection of a page, or increasing the protection level
Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level
Request a specific edit to a protected page
Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here | ||

Reason: High level of vandalism. Seyamar(245CMR)💬📜 09:39, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
Declined – Warn the user appropriately then report them to AIV or ANI if they continue. Warnings have been given; a single disruptive user doesn't justify protection. —Ganesha811 (talk) 16:02, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
- India–Singapore Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Agreement (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Temporary semi protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Persistent addition of contentious material by drive-by IPs which has picked-up in recent months. The edits remain unaddressed and unexplained. A mid-term PP is needed on what is a perennial attractor of bad-faith actors (as witnesses by the page's history). Gotitbro (talk) 10:38, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
- Issues are compounded by the fact that the term (or rather its acronym CECA) is also being used as a racial slur ([1]). Gotitbro (talk) 14:54, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
Semi-protected indefinitely. Will log at CTOPS. Daniel Case (talk) 19:04, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
- Automated comment: One or more pages in this request appear to already be protected. Please confirm.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 19:03, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Persistent vandalism – Continued vandalism of contentious article by IP and new editors. Sciencefish (talk) 12:01, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
- Semi-protected for a period of three weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Will leave CTOPS notice on talk. Daniel Case (talk) 19:12, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
Reason: CTOPS. Israel-Palestine. Borgenland (talk) 13:35, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
- Extended confirmed protected indefinitely. Will log at CTOPS. Daniel Case (talk) 19:16, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
Temporary full protection: Repeatedly recreated by well-meaning users despite AfD consensus for it to be a redirect until the election. Full protection could be a good way to avoid people wasting time on recreating the article before a consensus is established for notability. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 14:29, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
- Declined A good thought, but doesn't meet the very high bar for imposing full protection. GoodnightmushTalk 18:28, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
Reason: High level of IP vandalism. SleepDeprivedGinger (talk) 15:02, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
- Semi-protected for a period of one year, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Daniel Case (talk) 19:21, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
Reason: Serious edit war. JacktheBrown (talk) 16:49, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
Reason: Edit war. JacktheBrown (talk) 16:51, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
- Declined I don't see any evidence of an edit war here. GoodnightmushTalk 18:01, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing. Dieter Lloyd Wexler 18:27, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
- Semi-protected for a period of three weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Daniel Case (talk) 19:29, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Addition of unsourced content/unexplained removal. Thanks. C1K98V (💬 ✒️ 📂) 18:55, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
- Semi-protected for a period of one week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Daniel Case (talk) 19:31, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
Reason: Persistent vandalism by unregistered users in recent days. AideDésintéressée (talk) 19:00, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
- Semi-protected indefinitely. Upgrading from PC. Will log at CTOPS. Daniel Case (talk) 19:24, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content. C F A 💬 19:09, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
- Declined for now. There's some engagement on the talk page now, so hoping this won't require admin intervention. If it does, probably can start with a block, not protection. GoodnightmushTalk 19:33, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
Current requests for reduction in protection level
Before posting, first discuss with the protecting admin at 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.
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.
