Wikipedia:Requests for page protection
| Welcome—request protection of a page, file, or template here. | ||
|---|---|---|
|
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
Place requests for new or upgrading pending changes, semi-protection, full protection, move protection, create protection, template editor protection, or upload protection at the BOTTOM of this section. Check the archive of fulfilled and denied requests or, failing that, the page history if you cannot find your request. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.
Shivaji
Reason: Disruptive editing on the title of Shivaji, without discussing it on the talk page. Frequent edit warring and suspecting meatpuppetry. Imperial[AFCND] 10:44, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
- The article has been under indefinite semi-protection for about five years now. It does not appear to me that going to ECP would make much of a difference as many contributors already have that user right. The only thing I could imagine doing that could force more talk page discussion would be imposing 1RR. Would you be amenable to that? (I have put a long-overdue CTOPS notice on the talk page). Daniel Case (talk) 20:33, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
- I don't have a strong opinion, but looking at edits from the last 2 weeks, 3 out of 8 users involved in the dispute over titles are not EC so ECP probably would improve the situation over the long run. I suspect that even if EC editors reach consensus, the title dispute will continue. Perhaps full protection for a week or two followed by indefinite ECP?

Soad Hosny
Reason: Persistent disruptive editings and removal of sources by many "new" accounts and IPs. Not a single edit by that recent attack on the page is with sources, they appear to be teamed up. Fragrant Peony (talk) 22:10, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
- Automated comment: A request for protection/unprotection for one or more pages in this request was recently made, and was denied at some point within the last 8 days.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 22:13, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
ITV plc
Reason: For months now, there has been multiple IPs making false edits suggesting ITV plc has been acquired by Paramount Global when in fact this has not happened. Professional Adriazeri (talk) 22:20, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
Pending-changes protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 22:37, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
Chris chan
Indefinite create protection: Repeatedly recreated – Since everything related to chris-chan is permanently locked, might as well lock this too. Okmrman (talk) 22:49, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection.. Hasn't been recreated since 2015? -- Euryalus (talk) 22:56, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
Chris Chan: A Comprehensive History
Indefinite create protection: Offensive name – Chris Chan is banned. Okmrman (talk) 22:52, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
- Declined – Pages are not protected preemptively. -- Euryalus (talk) 22:57, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
Carolyn Bertozzi
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Lots of IP vandals the last couple days. –CWenger (^ • @) 23:04, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
- Semi-protected for a period of 3 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Euryalus (talk) 23:17, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
List of Disney live-action adaptations and remakes of Disney animated films
- List of Disney live-action adaptations and remakes of Disney animated films (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Persistent addition of unreliable sources to justify content that has been repeatedly removed. Probably needs to be longer protection. Trailblazer101 (talk) 23:25, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
Current requests for reduction in protection level
Before posting, first discuss with the protecting admin at 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.
Current requests for edits to a protected page
Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here
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 Wikipedia:Suggestions for COI compliance), the
{{Edit COI}}template should be used. - Requests to move move-protected pages should be made at Wikipedia: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.
