Wikipedia:Requests for page protection

Page semi-protected
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Wikipedia:RFP)
    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
    Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here

    Janata Dal (United)

    Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Recently I reverted it to last stable version. Since there is no protection some ips are actively removing sourced content on dubious ground which is often not tracked. Admantine123 (talk) 09:02, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. I have left a CTOPS notice on the talk page, though. Daniel Case (talk) 18:32, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    User(s) blocked: 112.202.96.0/21 (talk · contribs) blocked by Zzuuzz. for one week. This appears to be the other range preferred by that Mandeyulong, Phillippines-based LTA that's been keeping us busy over the last month or so, besides the one I blocked yesterday (for six months).

    Sporting CP

    Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – persistent removal of "Sporting Lisbon" by Sporting Lisbon fans. SLBedit (talk) 16:31, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. There's already a thread open about this at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents. OhNoitsJamie Talk 16:33, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    It won't stop because of that. SLBedit (talk) 16:35, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Perhaps not, but we're more amenable to imposing full protection where discussion has not stopped edit warring. Daniel Case (talk) 18:20, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Knocked Loose

    Reason: Edit warring by a user who insists on changing the genre mentioned in the intro, going against sources. Already explained to the user via edit summaries and on the talk page, but he insists. I simply return the page to the original state before he made changes.

    Current requests for reduction in protection level

    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.

    Current requests for edits to a protected page

    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.
