This page has an administrative backlog that requires the attention of willing administrators.
Please replace this notice with {{no admin backlog}} when the backlog is cleared.

    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.

    T.U.F.F. Puppy

    Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – IP editor keeps making edits claiming that T.U.F.F. Puppy is "not for children" using some of the flimsiest and most laughable logic I have ever seen (because it's rated TV-Y7 FV and not TV-Y - TV-Y7 FV is still considered children's programming, and the editor is seemingly unable to get it through that thick skull of theirs). While the edits are not constant, they have been occurring long enough to the point where it's considered disruptive. Enough is enough. The Grand Delusion 06:15, 24 December 2024 (UTC)

    Pankaj Purohit

    Reason: It seems that user User:Kriji Sehamati‬ is not new to Misplaced Pages and might be operating multiple accounts. It appears she has an issue with one of my contributions, as she created her account just 15 days ago, yet she already has a good understanding of tools like Twinkle and AfD procedures. This level of familiarity suggests prior experience on the platform. I am now requesting her account to be blocked as I am completely disturbed by her repeated allegations and disruptive behavior.

    Harshada Pathare

    Reason: User:Kriji Sehamati‬ is intentionally disrupting all my contributions on Misplaced Pages. Her repeated actions, including unnecessary AfD nominations and COI tagging, suggest a targeted effort to undermine my work.. 𝒮-𝒜𝓊𝓇𝒶 11:46, 24 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.

    Shortcuts

    A-League Men records and statistics

    Reason: Protection is too high and it was for sockpuppetry in 2018. It's nearly 2025 now so if it needs protecting just do pending changes or semi-protection but unprotection would be better I think. 147.10.234.99 (talk) 23:19, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

    Pinging protecting admin User:Ponyo, who might or might not wish to have input. I looked at the history of disruption and it looks pretty bad. I'm inclined to give semi protection a shot (this would eliminate 95% of the disruption in page history), but I'd rather hear from the sysop who made the call first. BusterD (talk) 14:24, 23 December 2024 (UTC)
    The LTA sockmaster, who is still very active, creates new accounts, makes the required number of edits to to get auto-confirmed, then by-passes the semi-protection in their pet set of articles, including A-League Men records and statistics. The extended confirmed protection has been very effective against this sockmaster because they always tip their hand before they can reach EC status. No worries with given semi protection a shot BusterD, but it will likely have to be bumped up again in short order.-- Ponyo 18:09, 24 December 2024 (UTC)

    Kay Granger

    Reason: Things have calmed down and some consensus between registered & unregistered editors seem to favour small tweaks that are supported by reliable sources. See here:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Talk:Kay_Granger&diff=prev&oldid=1264954740

    Additionally, yesterday at

    https://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=User_talk:Schwede66&diff=prev&oldid=1264772930 I asked protecting user to unprotect and/or make needed edits, but no response even as yet.

    Thank you.107.115.165.20 (talk) 09:58, 24 December 2024 (UTC)

    Declined – Protection expires in 6 hours. Favonian (talk) 12:33, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
    Acknowledged. Thank you for pointing out the expiry time. This should give sufficient time for reassessment by concensus. You're welcome to weigh in, as both the backlash/scrutiny / public debate is at issue as well as whether this development should be "lede" in an article about her. I am of the mind that public debate is warranted as encyclopedic historical news, but not sure if it warrants lede status. In my view, health is secondary to legislative record, tho both are important. I'll mull over it and maybe seek input from others. Thanks again, Favonian, for the prompt reply.107.115.165.20 (talk) 15:29, 24 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.
