Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 05:22, 8 April 2015

Welcome—request protection of a page, file, or template here.

Shortcuts WP:RFPP WP:RFP WP:RPP 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. Skip to table of contents requests to raise protection lower protection requested edits (purge) Request protection of a page, or increasing the protection level Request protection Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level Request unprotection Request a specific edit to a protected page Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here Request edit

Blackfriars Massacre (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Move protection: Page title dispute/move warring – User has repeatedly boldly moved this article, despite multiple reverts and a lack of consensus in a mass RM. Please protect the article to allow for discussion in an RM. RGloucester — ☎ 03:36, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

Govindudu Andarivadele (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Repeated addition of poorly sourced content by IP users. Though their edits have been undone for now, the situation may worsen further. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 02:22, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 05:12, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

Little India (location) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Continues to get filled with WP:UNDUE material by the multiple accounts/IPs of blocked editors. OccultZone (Talk • Contributions • Log) 23:22, 7 April 2015 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. MelanieN (talk) 23:41, 7 April 2015 (UTC)

Trayvon Martin (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – After the temporary full protection expired, the page is now completely vulnerable to vandals. Please reinstate this protection. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 23:03, 7 April 2015 (UTC)

Semi-protected indefinitely. Restoring the indefinite semi-protection that was in place before the brief period of full protection. Of course, semi won't do anything to stop the edit warring over the inclusion of an infobox; I see that is under discussion at the talk page, and hopefully the regular users involved will work it out.

• Automated comment: Page has not been protected.—_{Talk to my owner:Online} 23:57, 7 April 2015 (UTC)

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.

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.
