    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 semi-protection

    Persistent reinsertion of unsourced roles by IP's despite being constantly reverted and the page already having been page protected due to their activity. This started up again just 60minutes after the previous protection expired. Requesting month long semi as this has been going on some time and the IP is clearly not interested in sourcing their additions or addressing the concerns. It's purely disruptive and they need some time off but have a wide Ip range preventing a block request.SephyTheThird (talk) 16:06, 21 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Question: @Sir Joseph: How are you not edit warring against the closed RfC and asking for your preferred version to be protected? NeilN talk to me 14:48, 22 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm trying to keep it as consensus. There was then article written about "antisemitism on Wikipedia" and these accounts are now coming to vandalize the page. Debresser and others are trying to converse with these editors but they blindly revert. (I also disagree with the closure, the closer misunderstood the question and it's clear that ALL Jews can't be labeled as Middle Eastern. Judaism is from the Middle East, but individual Jews are from wherever they are. I for example, am not from the ME, why would my page list me as ME descent then?)

    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.

    Charlie and the Bhoys

    Unprotection: Little bit confused as to why my request was archived and then upgraded to full protection. Said offending user which was the source of the issue has be given a softblock and myself and another user are attempting to improve the article, which we cannot do so when it has full protection. I requested "Extended confirmed protection" in the first place to prevent sock puppets and said CoI user from making vandalising. Now it's pointless, even more so the current protection level. Read said users talk page, I gave them enough warnings... Uamaol (talk) 03:23, 20 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    • 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 03:28, 20 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    When there appears to be an edit war, full protection is the norm. At the time of finding the article, I had no idea who was being disruptive, there were just too many reverts - so the usual thing is to stop the editing. I'll change it to ECP. There are quite a few tickets at OTRS, it's not going to go away easily... Ronhjones  (Talk) 16:51, 20 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Indefinite semi-protection: BLP policy violations – Request indefinite extended confirmed protection, we've tried temporary many times and it's failed. MB298 (talk) 04:28, 22 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    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.
