'''Semi protection''': This article is repeatedly vandalised, article sections are deleted, others are changed, facts are removed... all by IP users. It's been going on ever since a movie based on this series was announced, possibly by people who don't want to believe it, or who don't want others to learn of it.

It used to see maybe 1 vandalism per month, now it's 2-3 PER DAY. Repeatedly from the same user, and repeatedly from OTHER users.

I'm just getting tired of constantly fighting a losing battle with this. I grew up watching this series, and i love it, so i'm very annoyed by vandals hacking this article to bits. The IP addresses vandalising this page are as follows:

* 75.51.231.149 -- 4 times
* 71.202.157.86 -- 3 times
* 68.217.180.20 -- 1 time

Note:
The user at IP 156.34.187.103 contributes legitimate information and spelling/coding/formatting corrections. That user should not be punished...

    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.

Check the archive of fulfilled and denied requests or, failing that, the page history if you cannot find your request. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.


    Azerbaijan Airlines Flight 8243

    Reason: Plane crashes are usually protected in the immediate aftermath of the incident to prevent misinformation. This one should be no different, especially considering the wide media coverage and the different unconfirmed theories about what happen, such as a potential Russian shootdown or a bird strike. Ordsju (talk) 04:02, 26 December 2024 (UTC)

    Declined – Pages are not protected preemptively. Sorry, but those protections were likely due to actual disruption (as opposed to potential only). If any issues arise, feel free to relist. El_C 04:04, 26 December 2024 (UTC)

    Current requests for reduction in protection level

    Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level Request unprotection 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.

    Reason: Lil Dicky was semi-protected back in 2019. Now that five years have passed, could the semi-protection be lifted? I asked the protecting administrator and received no response. 174.93.89.27 (talk) 00:25, 26 December 2024 (UTC)

    Reason: It appears that the article has had Pending Changes enabled since 2017. The admin protecting the page hasn't made any edits since 2018. I don't think the current history of the article warrants Pending Changes being enabled. Rockfang (talk) 02:57, 26 December 2024 (UTC)

    Current requests for edits to a protected page

    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 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.
