"WP:RFP" and "WP:RPP" redirect here. You may also be looking for Wikipedia:Requests for permissions, Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission, or Wikipedia:Random page patrol.
    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

    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.

    Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – or some other kind of admin intervention. SMS Talk 22:11, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: A rotating series of IPs has been adding various categories about NC's ancestry. None of them come with any sourced info in the article. Since contact on the IPs talk page would do no good I started a thread on the articles talk page Talk:Noel Clarke#Sourcing is required. Hopefully a few days protection will bring sources or discussion. MarnetteD|Talk 22:04, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Requesting protection through December 25 from IPs and non-autoconfirmed users. IPs and others keep changing the series end date prematurely. I think the users are confusing the Template:Infobox television |end date= instructions which state that if 12 months pass with no new episodes aired, we can use the literal "last aired" date as a parameter value, which would be Dec 24, 2014. It's become somewhat of a pissing match for IPs to add this date prematurely. Thanks. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 21:43, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    LMFAO; Some one block this clown; he accused me of being a sock of MariaJaydHicky (and come to think of it other editors aswell; it's one person and not a magical creature who can zap themselves into 10000 versions of themselves to edit) and now wants full protection; I think someone should ignore them and block them for harrasment Muicfantasy (talk) 19:06, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection requested due to persistent edit warring by multiple editors. Several blocks and bans (there are likely sockpuppets in use) would not be out of line, either. ElKevbo (talk) 17:00, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 20:11, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: Content dispute/edit warring – IP-hopping editor on Tiscali / Talktalk determined to insert material of the most tangential relevance to article subject. William Avery (talk) 16:48, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined. Pending changes seems to be doing the job. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 19:50, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Example Articles with same criteria

    Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. - i cant believe that people are adding false rumors saying that Dan Vs. will return and move to Cartoon Network, there is no source and the Dan Vs. facebook page not confirmed this. 181.133.214.153 (talk) 23:58, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    FYI - the IP adding this request is in the roving IP range of the major source of vandalism to those pages, mostly adding hoax info. See 181.31.202.101 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) for latest. Curious of the motivation for this IP to want to prevent himself from editing those pages making this request. Geraldo Perez (talk) 00:40, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 19:36, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Current requests for reduction in protection level

    Shortcuts

    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

    Further information: Wikipedia: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 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.

    Fulfilled/denied requests
