    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.

    Full protection: Content dispute/edit warring. DavidLeighEllis (talk) 03:53, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

    Non-admin comment - supporting indefinate semi-protection for IP and New Editor because persistant vandalism / edit warring. The Aug 11 incident was from a "new editor" at the time. Qwertyxp2000 (talk | contribs) 07:19, 11 August 2015 (UTC)
    Semi-protected for a period of 1 year, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Content disputes involving few parties are often better dealt with through dispute resolution and/or individual sanctions. At a cursory glance, it does not seem like the past few edits on the page are related to the dispute, so I don't think full protection is needed. Airplaneman ✈ 16:06, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

    Semi-protection: Receives frequent vandalism from many different IPs. The page also undergoes edit wars amongst IPs and registered over unsourced details that are, in some cases, known to be untrue or speculation. Katzenlibrary (talk) 14:14, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

    Pending-changes protected for a period of 2 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. I thought this would work better, as the problematic edits are largely non-malicious and the frequency of edits is not terribly high. Airplaneman ✈ 15:37, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

    Semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Another article affected by the "sock war" that is currently raging on a considerable number of articles about India/Pakistan. A long protection is needed to calm things down, on this article at least. Thomas.W 16:25, 11 August 2015 (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.

    SummerSlam (2015)

    semi-protection I get that you want to prevent vandalism, but full protection is preventing editors from being able to add the matches the WWE officially announced for the PPV. All i ask is a simple reduction in the protection level on the article. Rusted AutoParts 15:27, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

    Semi-protected for a period of 14 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Makes sense. Protection can be changed again later if needed. @CambridgeBayWeather: Airplaneman ✈ 15:55, 11 August 2015 (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.
