This page is for requesting that a page, image or template be fully protected, semi-protected, move-protected or unprotected. Please read up on the protection policy. Full protection is used to stop edit warring between multiple users or to prevent vandalism to high-risk templates; semi-protection is usually used only to prevent IP and new user vandalism (see the rough guide to semi-protection); and move protection is used to stop pagemove revert wars.

After a page has been protected, the protection is listed in the page history and logs with a short description indicating why it was protected, and the article is listed on Special:Protectedpages. Further discussion should take place on the Talk page of the article. In the case of full protection due to edit warring, admins do not revert back to specific versions of the page, except to get rid of obvious vandalism.

Instructions

If you would like to request a page to be protected or unprotected, please follow the following steps:

  1. If you are requesting unprotection, it is almost always a good idea to ask the protecting admin first before listing a page here.
  2. Add a level 3 header (i.e. ==== {{la|Example}} ====) at the TOP of either the protection or unprotection list and place one of the templates from the table below within the header. Please make sure you have spelled the name of the article properly; a common error stems from mistaken requests for the protection of redirects, particularly capitalised ones.
  3. If you are requesting protection, place the type of request (full protection, semi-protection, or move protection) and a brief reason for your request below your header.
  4. Please do not add arbitrary requests for a protection expiry time to your request, or request indefinite protection arbitrarily.
    • If there is a reason for a page to be protected for a certain amount of time, such as protecting a usertalk page until the user is unblocked, please make this clear.
    • If you are requesting indefinite semi-protection, be aware that it is only applied to articles with endemic and endless vandalism problems which multiple increasing periods of temporary semi-protection have failed to stop.
    • Note that different expiry times can now be set for edit and move-protections, so an article can, for example, be semi-edit-protected for a week and full-move-protected indefinitely.
  5. Sign your request with four tildes ~~~~ and save.
  • Note that this is not a venue for continuing an argument from elsewhere. If a request contains excessive arguing, is being used for edit-warring or content disputes, contains personal attacks or uncivil comments, or any other unrelated discussion, it will be removed from this page.

[edit] Current requests for protection

Place requests for either semi-protection, full protection, move protection, or create protection at the TOP of this section. Check here if you cannot find your request. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.

Generally speaking, Wikipedia's Main Page featured article will not be fully or semi-protected. Protection will only be considered in the event of extremely high levels of vandalism - more than is usually observed for Today's Featured Article.

[edit] List of Latin American subnational entities by Human Development Index (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Temporary full protection vandalism, The article have been reverted it many times by the same user since days, I watched that many users have explained to this vandal why shouldn't revert it on the discussion page, but the vandal-user go away a time but after time the same vandal-user come back to revert or delete the same vandalism. Now this user is reverting again, also the article has been protected two times because of it. otherwise I reverted this user two times. Please I suggest to protect the page again for a week maybe.

[edit] United Kingdom Independence Party (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Semi-protect. Persistent petty vandalism (on and off over many months) by unregistered user(s). -- Setwisohi (talk) 09:27, 6 July 2009 (UTC)


[edit] Glenn Quagmire (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Temporary semi-protection vandalism, The Family Guy episode "FOX-y Lady" is airing late tonight on Cartoon Network (its Adult Swim block specifically), at 12am and 3am (ET/PT). Right now it's almost midnight in the Pacific Time Zone. I have to explain this because the episode contains a joke about said character Quagmire being born in the late 1940s. Talk page consensus goes against including this because it's not intended as serious character information. Yet every time this episode re-airs on TV anons keep pushing it. Thus, I think a few days' semiprotection should guard against trolls. Thank you. Andrewlp1991 (talk) 06:38, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Current requests for unprotection

Shortcuts:
WP:RFUP

If you simply want to make spelling corrections or add information to a protected page that is not disputed, and you are not involved in any disputes there, consider simply adding {{Editprotected}} to the article's talk page, along with an explanation of what you want to add to the page. See the list of current {{Editprotected}} requests.

If you do want a page that exists unprotected, please try to ask the protecting admin first before making a request here.

Check here if you cannot find your request. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.

[edit] Madonna (entertainer) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Unprotect: The protecting admin has retired and the page has been semi-pp since 2007. This goes against the very ethos of WMF and WP. I request unprotection. Mainly to see if anons can edit within the rules of WP, but also because to totally exclude anons from editing is very much against what we are trying to achieve here! fr33kman -simpleWP- 04:57, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

Unprotected agreed, let's see how it goes. Mfield (Oi!) 05:03, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
Thank you; hopefully it will be okay. Cheers fr33kman -simpleWP- 05:05, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Current requests for edits to a protected page

Shortcut:
WP:RFED
When making requests here, either:
  • Provide a good reason for a substantial edit to a protected page. These are only done in exceptional circumstances, or when there is very clear consensus for an edit and continued protection. Please link to the talk page where consensus was reached.
  • Demonstrate that there is a clear dispute over a protected page, and that a specific dispute tag would be appropriate to add. Please link to the talk page where the dispute exists.

Note: Unless the talk page itself is protected, you may instead add {{Editprotected}}, {{Editsemiprotected}} or {{Request edit}} to the article's talk page if you would like an inconsequential change rather than requesting it here, though most of these should simply wait for unprotection.

Semi-protection - vandalism, continuous additions of false information, and random acts of vandalism. Gage (talk) 02:53, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Declined – There is not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection at this time. If there's significantly more disruptive activity in the future, consider relisting. It appears as there is only one vandal in the last week. Plastikspork (talk) 03:01, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Declined, it's always the same IP today, report it if it does again (has received final warning now). SoWhy 21:27, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
Maybe you should try actually looking at the edit history. I didn't mention any specific user, in fact I distinctly remember saying "anons and new users", plural.

[edit] Never Shout Never (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Indefinite semi-protection excessive vandalism. As soon as the article was unprotected the anonymous IP address vandalism returned. The trend of IP vandals returning to the page after semi-protection ends is continuing as it always has. This has happened after the other three times this article has been protected. Therefore, I believe it should be semi-protected indefinitely. If it isn't, this IP vandalism will continue as long as the article is unprotected. --Russ is the sex (talk) 18:21, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 1 week. After 1 week the page will be automatically unprotected. SoWhy 20:40, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
