Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 05:12, 10 March 2014

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

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Semi protection was lifted a few days ago and the page is already sparking back up with vandal IPs. . Gloss • talk 02:12, 10 March 2014 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages talk:Reference desk (edit | project page | history | links | watch | logs)

Temporary semi to fend off harassment-only IP trolls. Admin advised me to delete the troll's garbage on-sight, and the IP is now edit-warring to keep his garbage visible. ←Baseball Bugs carrots→ 22:57, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

Baseball Bugs is repeatedly removing my reply to The Rambling Man. I should be able to interact with the editor. BB on the other hand, has an interaction ban in effect with TRM (here) and should not be interfering with the discussion. 54.213.95.118 (talk) 23:02, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for posting the interaction ban, as it makes clear that my reverting your trolling does not fall within the boundaries of it. Now if YOU and I were interaction banned, that would be a different story. But we're not. ←Baseball Bugs carrots→ 02:36, 10 March 2014 (UTC)

As noted on that page, 54's personal attacks are subject to deletion on-sight, and he's also using an inappropriate entry point (you'll have to ask the admin exactly what that last part is technically about). ←Baseball Bugs carrots→ 23:34, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

What admin? That would be helpful to note. meteor_sandwich_yum (talk) 23:43, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

On the ref desk talk page, Bishonen restates what KWW told him about the illegitimate use of that 54 series, and Bishonen states his opinion that 54's trolling is subject to deletion on-sight. 54 also violated 3RR in that talk page edit-war. ←Baseball Bugs carrots→ 00:10, 10 March 2014 (UTC)

Semi-protection: IP hopper edit warring. Jojalozzo 22:19, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

I'd like to see how this looks in, say, 12 or 24 hours, so I'll leave it up until then. Any admin override me if you want, especially if the situation gets worse while I'm AFK. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 23:59, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

Semi-protection:Second request - Repeated dynamic IP vandalism. Suspected by disgruntled former employee (judging on IP location). Unfounded allegations of bias. Malicious edits also made to linked pages. Have had to request this again as the first request was declined and the edits have been reapplied.Only1weasel (talk) 22:15, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

• Automated comment: A request for protection/unprotection was recently made for this page, and was denied at some point within the last 8 days.—cyberbot I _Online 22:22, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. As Kelapstick said not 12 hours ago. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 23:57, 9 March 2014 (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.

Misplaced Pages:File Upload Wizard (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Indefinite template protection: Highly visible template – I realize this isn't in Template or Module space, but it is defined as a template, so I think it still qualifies... I have an edit request, and another user has an edit request, and I could quickly fulfil both if it was lowered to  Template editor. Thanks. — {{U|Technical 13}} 23:01, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

Not unprotected. First, Future Perfect at Sunrise (talk · contribs · blocks · protections · deletions · page moves · rights · RfA) is still active; second, this is much higher-profile than most of the recent requests, so I'd prefer there to be a discussion first. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 23:48, 9 March 2014 (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.
