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

    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.

    Current requests for increase in protection level

    Lists of South Korean idol groups

    Full protection: Persistent vandalism/Disruptive editing and edit warring. The pages in question was originally by agreed by consensus that it would be a bulleted list on each page without the unnecessary information overload. Every time someone tries to go back to it, someone turns the pages back into a table layout. Further more, even with the pages as tables and with information overload there is always someone edit warring with information both minor edits and major edits. I'm requesting that the pages should be returned to their original bulleted list state. Most of these idol groups aren't particularly notable and without a page of their own in the English Misplaced Pages. Could we have it so that these pages are highly protected in some way? (I do hope I'm doing this request right) Alicia leo86 (talk) 18:25, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

    Command Prompt

    Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – It is a rather controversial redirect. Consensus in Talk:Cmd.exe is to redirect it to Cmd.exe but looking at the history, I see the famous edit-warrior User:Mdrnpndr (formerly Dogmaticeclectic!, now blocked) once prevented the consensus from taking effect. I tried to do it today, but 73.40.108.10 (a harassment-only IP) tried to disrupt me. (Materialscientist has blocked 73.40.108.10 in the past). To prevent IP-hopping, however, protection is needed.

    Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Repeated disruptive edits by IPs, adding wrong year of birth etc, a type of edits that have been going on for years.

    Current requests for reduction in protection level

    Shortcuts

    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.

    Bambi II

    Unprotection: Page was vandalized 8 years ago. CoconutPaste (talk), 15:00, 20 January 2016 (UTC)

    • CoconutPaste doesn't mention it here, but protecting admin Tanthalas39 last edited in 2008, and the protecting edit summary mentions another admin who, after a username change, edited for a while but retired in 2010: this is definitely the right place to come. Normally I would fulfill the request without question, but these Disney movies are routinely the targets of a long-term disruptive user, so I don't know if this is a good idea. Other admins, note that CoconutPaste is a new account, but his editing patterns make me confident that he's unrelated to the disruptive user. Nyttend (talk) 15:11, 20 January 2016 (UTC)
    I feel 4 days is a long time to have a request open, is it a decline if no admin seems willing to unprotect? tutterMouse (talk) 17:34, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

    Amy-Leigh Hickman

    Unprotection: The page was blocked in 2010 as the actress was barely notable. However, the actress since then has appeared in much more and I would like to do an article. I have asked once before, but I got ignored. Thanks. Grangehilllover (talk) 23:27, 21 January 2016 (UTC)

    Do you have a draft prepared? tutterMouse (talk) 10:32, 22 January 2016 (UTC)
    Hi, Yes. I'm almost done. Thanks. Grangehilllover (talk) 13:02, 22 January 2016 (UTC)
    When you've completed it, make an article in userspace or within the Draft namespace so an admin can move it into mainspace. tutterMouse (talk) 15:32, 22 January 2016 (UTC)
    Hi,

    I'm really not understanding it as these articles are confusing. Can the page not be just unprotected? Grangehilllover (talk) 16:28, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

    No, usually if you want a page unprotected because you feel the subject is now notable then a draft article is helpful to get it unprotected as then at least you're showing evidence that an article is viable and that it'll pass notability guidelines. If the processes I showed you are too complex to understand then the article wizard tool will also help. tutterMouse (talk) 17:06, 22 January 2016 (UTC)
    Hi,

    I've submitted an edit request if that's any good. Grangehilllover (talk) 19:14, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

    It won't be, you've already got one request here. tutterMouse (talk) 19:36, 22 January 2016 (UTC)
    I'll give you the super easiest way to put your draft article up so we can see it; click on this link in red, copypaste your article into the window and hit save page like any page you'd create. You shouldn't need to put a link to it here but you may want to so a passing admin can see it. tutterMouse (talk) 07:09, 23 January 2016 (UTC)
    Hi,

    That was much easier, thanks! I've done it. Grangehilllover (talk) 16:48, 23 January 2016 (UTC)

    @Grangehilllover: My strong advice is that you take this draft through Articles for creation (AfC) – they will unsalt this page for you if they approve it. (If you want, I can put an AfC template at the top of the draft for you.) On my end, I don't think your sourcing is quite strong enough yet to take this draft into mainspace yet... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 03:04, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

    Current requests for edits to a protected page

    Further information: Misplaced Pages:Edit requests Shortcut

    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.

    Handled requests

    A rolling archive of the last seven days of protection requests can be found at Misplaced Pages:Requests for page protection/Rolling archive.
