Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 12:55, 22 May 2013

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

Full protection until the show's cancellation can be either confirmed or denied: The article was previously protected to prevent repeated additions of speculation. As soon as the page was unprotected, the additions resumed. Hearfourmewesique (talk) 03:29, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

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

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Pending Changes doesn't seem to be working. JayJay 22:25, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

Declined Sorry? But Pending changes prevents edits from IPs to go live unless they are being accepted by someone...so what is not working, in your opinion? Btw, the frequency of vandalism still is not very high. Lectonar (talk) 09:30, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

These pages might need a long(may be a week) protection time to cool the editors off a little. Amit (talk) 16:49, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

Narendra Modi (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Current requests for unprotection

• 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.

Lia Marie Johnson (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Unprotection: Article was salted on October 14, 2011, after numerous recreations on a "then" non notable subject. However, since that time, the subject appears to have crossed the threshold of notability. The salting administrator appears to be online only sporadically and not since April 6, so I will make my request here. Request removal of page creation protection and any other protections that may exist on the page. Thanks. The article currently exists at the wrongly capitalized Lia marie johnson for reference if necessary. Safiel (talk) 03:59, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

• Comment Never mind, another administrator has handled it. Safiel (talk) 04:46, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

   Requesting immediate archiving... Lectonar (talk) 10:54, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

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.
