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 vandalism. General Ization Talk 23:50, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
Babu Singh Kushwaha
Temporary extended confirmed protection: Persistent vandalism – This article is frequently disrupted and hence needed protection. Admantine123 (talk) 03:59, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
Kailaasa
Reason: Per talk discussion it was split from Nithyananda. This is just as likely to acquire the same amount of unproductive editing so it should be extended protected as well. PARAKANYAA (talk) 04:56, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
Declined – Pages are not protected preemptively. Ad Orientem (talk) 19:45, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

Reason: Persistent IP vandalism. PARAKANYAA (talk) 05:09, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
- Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Last outbreak was four days ago. Daniel Case (talk) 19:52, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Protection has recently been removed, vandalism has restarted. Suggest increase length of protection, maybe the vandals will lose interest. Chiswick Chap (talk) 07:54, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – Unsourced addition and persistent vandalism due to upcoming season of the reality show. C1K98V (💬 ✒️ 📂) 09:59, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
- Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Once every few days right now ... it doesn't seem like anything the editors there can't handle. Daniel Case (talk) 20:27, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
Shivaji
Reason: Disruptive editing on the title of Shivaji, without discussing it on the talk page. Frequent edit warring and suspecting meatpuppetry. Imperial[AFCND] 10:44, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
- The article has been under indefinite semi-protection for about five years now. It does not appear to me that going to ECP would make much of a difference as many contributors already have that user right. The only thing I could imagine doing that could force more talk page discussion would be imposing 1RR. Would you be amenable to that? (I have put a long-overdue CTOPS notice on the talk page). Daniel Case (talk) 20:33, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: Given the number of times this page has bursts of unnecessary edits and vandalism, I think indefinite semi-protection is warranted. I understand these are managable but I (and many others) would prefer we block them permanently rather than go through an endless routine. It would put this page on the same protection level as pages protection, in my humble opinion, for a lot less. Omnis Scientia (talk) 11:53, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
- Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. There hasn't been anything that seems disruptive in 11 days. Daniel Case (talk) 20:38, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
Volkswagen Beetle
Indefinite extended-confirmed protection: This page has been vandalised ever since it was created, by both users and IPs, which is why I request extended confirmed protection. Us as the good users cannot keep reverting these edits, as cars are obscure on WP, making them a good target for vandals. Here are some counts of vandalism: and there too much more to count, which is why I request extended confirmed protection 750h+ | Talk 16:07, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
- Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. It seems the editors on the page have been able to keep up with the vandals ... there are only a few such edits over the past month or so, all readily reverted. It may be a pain but it's what you do. Daniel Case (talk) 20:42, 26 April 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.
Draft:William Bishop
Reason: Create-protecting the generic form of this name in draft space is not needed, and may interfere with submission of a draft for someone other than the current subject. Multiple forms of the name are already create-protected in article space, and some in draft space also. Robert McClenon (talk) 14:09, 23 April 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.
A historical archive of previous protection requests can be found at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection/Archive.
