    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

    Talk:RT (TV network)

    Short-term semi-protection: active edit-warring. Ymblanter (talk) 21:02, 11 May 2018 (UTC)

    Declined. That's not going to stop it. It will need EC or full. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 22:24, 11 May 2018 (UTC)

    Semi-protection Persistent disruptive editing by multiple IPs. DerbyCountyinNZ 22:52, 11 May 2018 (UTC)

    Malu Trevejo

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – persistent vandalism . Thsmi002 (talk) 23:29, 11 May 2018 (UTC)

    Dushu Lake

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. E8xE8 (talk) 01:21, 12 May 2018 (UTC)

    Australopithecus

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism by an IP-hopping vandal who is edit-warring in order to preserve original research it keeps putting into the article. Has made threats to vandalize the page further if its original research efforts are further opposed.--Mr Fink (talk) 02:09, 12 May 2018 (UTC)

    Neanderthal

    Temporary semi-protection: Same IP-hopping vandal who was revenge-vandalizing Australopithecus with racist vandalism in revenge for having its WP:OR reverted is now targeting Neanderthal with similar racist vandalism out of spite.--Mr Fink (talk) 02:41, 12 May 2018 (UTC)

    Facadism

    Temporary semi-protection: Trivial edit-warring involving IP socks of a banned user. A topic was started on the talk page to discuss the changes, but of course the IP user is not interested in a conversation. Something else might distract them if we have a few days of semi-protection, and it will avoid further accusations of edit-warring against honest users who revert the sock in good faith. Jack N. Stock (talk) 03:43, 12 May 2018 (UTC)

    Zumbo's Just Desserts

    Temporary semi-protection: IP users continuously removing sentence from lede despite repeatedly being made aware of the spoilers policy. -- Whats new? 03:45, 12 May 2018 (UTC)

    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.

    Unprotection: Create redirect to Scott Kildall#Misplaced Pages Art. 10 16:55, 11 May 2018 (UTC)

    Declined: procedural decline as requests should be made to the protecting admin before being posted here. I will follow up with RHaworth. — Ivanvector (/Edits) 19:00, 11 May 2018 (UTC)
    Note: you may certainly have the redirect but I think we should keep it protected. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 20:53, 11 May 2018 (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.
