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.
Request protection of a page, or increasing the protection level
Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level
Request a specific edit to a protected page

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.

Reason: Due to conflicting views in the community, many people vandalise this article to suit their own individual conveniences rather than the beliefs held within the majority of the Sikh community (for example, depicted mona sikhs rather than sahajdhari ones) 2A00:23C8:4B00:D301:A9DC:4B8F:F3DF:8CB7 (talk) 15:50, 9 October 2024 (UTC)
Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Daniel Case (talk) 01:32, 10 October 2024 (UTC)
Reason: The article is within scope of WP:ARBECR, which states "this restriction is preferably enforced through extended confirmed protection". Sean.hoyland (talk) 16:36, 9 October 2024 (UTC)
- Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Honestly? This article hasn't been edited at all in a week and has seen hardly any attention in the past year. Its subject is also long removed in time from the present conflict. Daniel Case (talk) 01:51, 10 October 2024 (UTC)
Reason: The page called Tharavad has this guy keep deleting cited sources for no reason. Requesting Extended Protection for the page. Tnx. DravidianSingam (talk) 16:55, 9 October 2024 (UTC)
- Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Daniel Case (talk) 01:55, 10 October 2024 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Edit war between IP user and registered user, IP user unwilling to talk it to talk page. ~Darth StabroTalk/Contribs 17:28, 9 October 2024 (UTC)
User(s) blocked: 2601:405:8403:AFB0:0:0:0:0/64 (talk · contribs) blocked by Ponyo. for 72 hours Protection is generally unnecessary in cases involving a single IP (or in this case a /64). Daniel Case (talk) 02:01, 10 October 2024 (UTC)
Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Ip vandalism. Mostly removal but a few BLP issues. Knitsey (talk) 17:56, 9 October 2024 (UTC)
- User(s) blocked. Both IPs vandalizing the page blocked by different admins. Daniel Case (talk) 02:03, 10 October 2024 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Some IP vandalism (not all of the recent IP edits, but several). GraziePrego (talk) 23:56, 9 October 2024 (UTC)
- Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Looks like it's being handled just fine for now. Daniel Case (talk) 02:22, 10 October 2024 (UTC)
Reason: Only autoconfirmed users can may file enforcement requests, after this invalid request by a non-autoconfirmed user. 103.190.228.133 (talk) 02:56, 10 October 2024 (UTC)
- Declined. Since non-autoconfirmed users are allowed to comment, protection wouldn't be appropriate unless there are more serious issues than that. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 03:22, 10 October 2024 (UTC)
Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Persistent, RD2-worthy pagemove vandalism by an LTA. See this LTA page for details. Blake Gripling (talk) 03:08, 10 October 2024 (UTC)
Reason: Vandalism continues after edit protection, and will very likely continue after it has expired due to the circumstances which prompted the vandalism in the first place. Asking for IP users to be barred from editing for the remainder of the protection period. Ocifur (talk) 04:52, 10 October 2024 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry. Leonidlednev (T, C, L) 05:05, 10 October 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 05:14, 10 October 2024 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry. Leonidlednev (T, C, L) 05:09, 10 October 2024 (UTC)
Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Persistent addition of disputed, unsourced content by IP editor. AusLondonder (talk) 05:11, 10 October 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.
Reason: An event that has already passed, and mostly final infomation. Wikihelper910 (talk) 17:59, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
- @Wikihelper910: This was protected under the auspices of a contentious topic designation (post-1992 politics of the United States) and cannot be unilaterally unprotected. Appeal at WP:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement or at WP:Arbitration/Requests/Clarification and Amendment. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 01:13, 8 October 2024 (UTC)
- Not unprotected per above. Daniel Case (talk) 02:41, 10 October 2024 (UTC)
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.
Revert title change from current to original "Muslim grooming gangs in the UK" 47.25.189.113 (talk) 02:34, 10 October 2024 (UTC)
Not done As the many archived discussions on the talk page indicate, this is not how we do this when the article title is this contentious. There is, in fact, an open discussion on the talk page of this issue. Daniel Case (talk) 02:44, 10 October 2024 (UTC)
I want to add a little information inside the template since houthi is already added on the Belligerents side i think we should add the casualties of the yemani also in the template same as egyptians or syrians especially those who died as resulted from isreali airstrike and according to those articles 20 July 2024 Israeli attack on Yemen and 29 September 2024 Israeli attacks on Yemen, the yemani casualties are 20 killed, and +147 injured 70.26.36.11 (talk) 03:48, 10 October 2024 (UTC)
