    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.

    Note: @Sulfurboy: This was a full edit protection request, not a move protection request. Either way, we have some magical editors to block since they could edit during the protection. Upsidedown Keyboard (talk) 01:51, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

    Misplaced Pages:April Fools/April Fools' Day 2020 (unironic)

    Semi-protection: High level of IP vandalism. Sorry to my IP friends out there, but some bad apples have been vandalizing the page to the point it's unusable. Temporary protection requested. –MJL ‐Talk‐ 02:10, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

    Trying to prevent stuff like this (which needs revdel). –MJL ‐Talk‐ 02:13, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
    Genuine support for extended confirmed protection, It's getting kinda insane, and semi might not be enough. Upsidedown Keyboard (talk) 02:31, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
    Genuine support for extended confirmed. It's far out of control. Way far out of control. —moonythedwarf (Braden N.) 02:35, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
    Strong support — how about editors read Uncyclopedia's how to be funny and not just stupid then make a decision? It has a lot of helpful advice to be humorous without causing disruption. Aasim 02:49, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
    I'll note that I am also okay with extended confirmed protection as well. –MJL ‐Talk‐ 02:57, 1 April 2020 (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.

    Reason: Request unprotection We are unable to create an article for this....... . Janufff (talk) 02:45, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

    @Janufff: Make a draft for this. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v 02:52, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
    Not unprotected – Please create a sourced version of this article in a subpage or your userspace. When this is done, please make the request again, or ask any administrator to move the page for you. Favonian (talk) 14:04, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

    Show Me series

    Reason: It was recreated same other page article Cardinals vs Royals closed as redirect at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Cardinals–Royals rivalry (3rd nomination) I think this protection is no longer need because no one gonna use this page anymore since is deleted per CSD G4 applies. 173.219.25.75 (talk) 06:15, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

    Insofar as I can actually grok this request, that isn't an argument for unprotection; in fact repeated deletions (of any sort, not just G4) is grounds for a salting. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v 08:56, 1 January 2025 (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.

    Baahubali 2: The Conclusion

    I would like to request that... (The upper range of Bahubali 2's gross is stated as 2500 crore. This is incorrect as only one source mentions it and even there the insinuation is that both part 1 and 2 collectively did this number.) . Darius bactria (talk) 10:20, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

    Not done – Please use an edit request to request specific changes to be made to the protected page. Talk:Baahubali 2: The Conclusion is not protected. Favonian (talk) 14:00, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

    Create a level 3 header with a link to the article in question, then a {{pagelinks}} template and then the reason. It looks like this: Misplaced Pages:Example (edit | ] | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) your request here. ~~~~

    Talk:Main Page

    Talk:Main Page (edit | subject | history | links | watch | logs)

    Please add under the "General Discussions" header:

    COVID-19 portal

    Shouldn't the Portal:Coronavirus disease 2019 page link use a Portal icon in the Coronavirus box in the In The News section?

    -- 65.94.170.207 (talk) 00:32, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

    Question: what un/protection action are you seeking, exactly? El_C 00:36, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

    I believe this is a request that someone add a "COVID-19 portal" section under Talk:Main Page#General discussion with the IP's text above because that talk page is currently semi-protected. The Main Page is currently showing "In the news" at top-right with a "Coronavirus pandemic" mini navbox. The last link in that is displayed as "Portal" with a link to Portal:Coronavirus disease 2019. The IP's suggestion might have made sense in a previous version of the navbox but it is now showing a horizontal list and won't be getting any icons added. I would decline this request unless I have misunderstood it. At any rate, the navbox comes via Template:In the news which uses Template:In the news/special-header and the IP could post there.
