Requests for page protection


Current requests for increase in protection level[edit]

Request protection of a page, or increasing the 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.


East Pakistan[edit]

Reason: A IP is doing vandalism and unhelpful edits in these three articles, we are reverting them for three long days but they are continuously doing it. I reported them see here but looks like they are using more than one ips to vandalize these articles. In this situation it is important to protect these three articles for longer period because the person is persistent enough. No other action will not work as they are using many ips. Mehedi Abedin (talk) 08:59, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

Please enforce WP:CT/IPA across all three. IanDBeacon (talk) 21:37, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
Semi-protected for a period of three months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. all articles, although for now I have made that a regular admin action. The last one is in Bangladesh, not covered by IPA, and I could not see a sufficient nexus to justify adding the CTOPS tag to that page. Daniel Case (talk) 02:44, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

User:Iwaqarhashmi[edit]

Indefinite template protection: Requesting indefinte template protection for my user page because it was vandalized before, so I copied all the contents of the user page onto a ".css" subpage, but an extended confirmed user added the wrong COI template recently. Thanks! Waqar💬 16:27, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

Uh ... this is sort of a unique request. Anybody other regular reviewer here have a take on this? Daniel Case (talk) 02:14, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
I understand this is a unique request, but I'm hoping you can help. I would be incredibly grateful if you could consider fully protecting my user page to prevent any further vandalism once and for all. Waqar💬 05:32, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
Template-protection or full protection would make the userpage inaccessible for almost everyone, and also for the OP. I see the incident of adding a COI template as a one-time off which doesn't amount to enough disruption to warrant protection; I would not grant this request. Lectonar (talk) 06:42, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
While template protection can limit editing access, it doesn't necessarily render the user page inaccessible. Editors with appropriate permissions, like administrators or template editors, can still make edits if necessary. In the case of a COI template, a one-time incident can still be disruptive, especially if it affects the accuracy of the userpage. Waqar💬 07:04, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
Yes, that's why I wrote ' for almost everyone. But imagine you want a change made, and if the page was protected like you requested (so you can't edit it it yourself), you would then need an admin or template editor to implement the changes you want to make. I just gave my 2 cents here, and will let another admin decide. Lectonar (talk) 07:24, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
The content of my user page is still uneditable by most users, even without template protection, because it's been transcluding from a ".css" subpage on my user page, and whoever wants to make changes to my user page can leave a message on my talk page. That's a much better approach! Waqar💬 07:37, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
Also, if I wanted to edit my user page, I would just make changes to my ".css" subpage conveniently without needing any admin intervention ever. Waqar💬 07:49, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

Abdul Qadir Gilani[edit]

Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Persistent disruption by IPs and new users. HistoryofIran (talk) 02:40, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of one year, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Daniel Case (talk) 02:48, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Garena[edit]

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – This is the talkpage of a mobile games company. While there are occasional normal contributions, the vast vast majority (see the recent revision history) is just spam related to various accounts and requests for free currency or account help etc. Some of these contain what I think is game profile info, I don't know to what extent this is a privacy concern, but it doesn't feel great. At any rate, due to the excessive and continuous disruption I am proposing it for one of the rare talkpage indefinite semis. CMD (talk) 03:01, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Lectonar (talk) 06:51, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
What is your yardstick here? It's literal years of disruption. CMD (talk) 07:43, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Long-term abuse/Meena Kurian[edit]

Indefinite create protection: Repeatedly recreated – Please restrict creation to autoconfirmed. LTA is known for disrupting his own LTA page, which has already been semi-protected, and various other LTA-related pages. He just created this page as pure vandalism. Very few non-autoconfirmed are aware of LTA pages in wikispace, let alone have a reason to edit the talk page. Air on White (talk) 03:03, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

Scar (The Lion King)[edit]

Reason: Persistent vandalism over the past couple of weeks by numerous new and IP users. Sigma440 (talk) 03:49, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

List of All Elite Wrestling personnel[edit]

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Nonsense edits by anon IPs. Vjmlhds (talk) 03:56, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

Hari Singh Nalwa[edit]

Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Persistent edit warring (spanning at least 2 years) pertaining to his caste. Constant addition of a caste contradictory to what sources state. Southasianhistorian8 (talk) 05:11, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

Mewing (orthotropics)[edit]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Classicwiki (talk) If you reply here, please ping me. 06:46, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

Declined – Likely collateral damage as one or several users who are making improvements would be affected by the requested protection. Dsiruption not heavy enough to warrant protection, too. Lectonar (talk) 07:57, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

Foreign relations of Malaysia[edit]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Dynamic IP disruption. May spill out into China–Malaysia relations. CMD (talk) 07:41, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

Toofan (2010 film)[edit]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. -Lemonaka 07:51, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

Current requests for reduction in protection level[edit]

Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the 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.

Montana Tucker[edit]

Reason: This page has been protected in 2008, after several attempts at COI biographies. In other words, very much justified at that time. 16 years have passed and by now she passes the GNG. I wish to undo what is by now an injustice. gidonb (talk) 22:43, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

@Gidonb: Do you have a ready draft article you could use to help justify unprotecting it? —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 22:47, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
I have something on my machine I plan to use once unprotected. It's not very organized. I will add plenty of references and tie to the many pages where she is currently mentioned.[2] It's a similar effort really to the Brian Balmages article that I recreated. Was also understandably removed for peacock, yet notable. gidonb (talk) 22:53, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

Module:RFX report[edit]

Reason: Downgrade to semi-protection to match Template:RFX report, which is the only template that invokes this module. They are both transcluded on 389 other pages. (For a period of three months in 2022 the module was transcluded on >5000 pages because of this edit, later reverted, so the bot template-protected it.) If semi is too low, please increase Template:RFX report to match the module. SilverLocust 💬 06:24, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

Module:Rfx[edit]

Reason: Downgrade to semi-protection from template-protection. Transcluded on 490 pages. It is invoked by Module:RFX report, so the bot template-protected it in 2022 for the same reason. SilverLocust 💬 06:24, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

Current requests for edits to a protected page[edit]

Request a specific edit 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.


Israel-Hamas War[edit]

I would like to request that... (the map be updated to show that Israel now controls the entire Gaza-Egypt border) . LordOfWalruses (talk) 15:25, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

@LordOfWalruses this is not the place. Contentious topics should not be unprotected. 48JCLTALK 12:42, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
@48JCL: Unregistered and non-extended-confirmed editors are allowed to request edits to ARBPIA pages here. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 15:09, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
The talk page Talk:Israel-Hamas War is protected, therefore edit requests by non-extended-confirmed users land here. That is acceptable, and this request made above is reasonable. The people who actually do participate on that talk page should be reviewing requests here that remain open and haven't been declined for days. ~Anachronist (talk) 20:30, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
