    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.

    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
    Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Same issue as has caused a protection to be necessary before, changing character name from the Lion King. Cerebral726 (talk) 12:54, 22 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

    Extended confirmed protection: Persistent disruptive editing by one editor with non WP:RS reference. The editor has been blocked for a month but, seeing the persistent intent of disruptive editing, may edit again from an IP address or from another newly-created account. Kakatoomb (talk) 13:47, 22 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

    User(s) blocked. El_C 14:28, 22 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

    ICICB Group

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Editor User:Basma El-Nezamy has tried to expand the article into a much bigger advertising article, full of WP:SPS, spam links, profiles, and press releases with long sections on what they do. Warned by DGG on 18th April and by me, this afternoon, but no effect. Article is at Afd as an advertisement. scope_creepTalk 15:00, 22 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

    Extended confirmed protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. El_C 15:10, 22 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Vandalised for several days by various accounts. MB 15:31, 22 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

    Indefinite create protection: Repeatedly recreated – Recreated ~4 times. Zai (💬 • 📝 • ⚡️) 16:34, 22 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

    Creation protected – Muboshgu (talk) 16:46, 22 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

    Indefinite semiprotection: This article has been edited by IP addresses multiple times to change the neutral wording to something that supports the individual in question more. Changes made by anonymous IPs have been reverted on multiple occasions already. KNivedat (talk) 17:27, 22 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 17:30, 22 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

    MRC-5

    Pending changes: Persistent vandalism – Semi-protection expired in February and nearly all of the edits since have been vandalism. This topic is sort of COVID-adjacent because of early misinformation, which might be driving it. Requesting PC because the vandalism is fairly spaced out in time.

    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.

    Template:Abuse filter

    Reason: Template-protected redirects to semi-protected template doesn't make sense. Nobody (talk) 08:29, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Template:Drug use

    Unprotection: Only ~150 transclusions - was protected following an incident of vandalism in 2018. Extended protection should be sufficient (protecting admin hasn't seriously edited since 2019). Elli (talk | contribs) 07:24, 20 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

    This article was extended confirm, which was protected due to sockpuppet of ASIANPOPCHANNEL. SeanJ 2007 (talk) 11:24, 22 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

    Have you discussed this? --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 13:02, 22 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    @Malcolmxl5: But we talk it last time, and the admin said "This page has been blocked immediately. Please discuss this issue on the talk page." to a semi-protection message that was a long-term abuse. The sockpuppet is already gone since for unprotection. The protection change to semi-protection for about 1 or 3 months. SeanJ 2007 (talk) 01:18, 22 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

    Current requests for edits to a protected page

    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 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.
