"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
    this header: view • edit


    Current requests for protection

    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.

    Semi-protection against persistent vandalism by unregistered users. It's been semi-protected several times before. Perhaps a longer period this time? I think it'll still be a while before the slang use of "random" (which redirects to "randomness") goes out of fashion, unfortunately. Qwfp (talk) 18:16, 22 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 3 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Icestorm815 • Talk 18:24, 22 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protection the history section of the Jet engine has been vandalised many times.

    Current requests for unprotection

    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.

    This is a major {{current}} topic, and a lot of people will try to update information as events proceed. Yes, there will be trolling and edit-warring. It is still very counter-productive to impose drawn out full protection on a topic like that. Please change to semi-protection. The article is officially subject to {{article probation}}. Disruptive editors should be blocked without much decorum. But there are many bona fide editors trying to develop this article, and we should avoid frustrating them all because of some trolling easily dealt with at user level. dab (𒁳) 10:47, 22 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Is there a reason you aren't unprotecting it yourself? Stifle (talk) 11:31, 22 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    Maybe he's concerned that people will think he has a COI? Meh. Semi-protected Master of Puppets Call me MoP!☺ 17:08, 22 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]


    Please unprotect Carl the Intern's page linked to from the KIHT page. I swear to God I will put a lot of refrences on the page this time. If it doesn't get deleted 30 second after I post it.

    Current requests for significant 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.

    Would like to request uncontroversial edit to fully protected template to implement diff already specified on the talk page, in order to finish setting up a new task force for New Zealand. Many thanks! Girolamo Savonarola (talk) 07:16, 14 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Done Stifle (talk) 11:49, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Fulfilled/denied requests

    Semi-protection the page has been subject to repeated vandalism (adding same spam link) by IP user(s) who have been adequately warned. SempreVolando (talk) 09:51, 22 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Note: Site name has been spam-blacklisted. Stifle (talk) 10:04, 22 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    semi-protection due to POV edit warring

    • (a) pattern of edits seemingly intended to inflame and extend controversy around the matter of Sen. Obama's religious and racial background.
    • (b) Undiscussed, non-consensus reverts and tendentious edits to effectively "echo" long discredited opposition party whisper campaigns and smearing attacks.
    • (c) Persistent attempts to mitigate well sourced criticisms of the dubious sources of these attacks on two candidates.
    • (d) extensive incivility, failures to AGF and no work toward consensus.

    Please see Barack_Obama_presidential_campaign,_2008#Media_coverage_of_Obama.27s_religious_background, Insight Magazine and associated talk page entries. WNDL42 (talk) 23:10, 21 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Fully protected for a period of 2 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Semi-protection would be ineffectual as there are plenty of logged-in users there. Stifle (talk) 09:58, 22 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]


    Why is it even protected in the first place? 216.93.229.62 (talk) 06:17, 22 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protect A vandalism tag was taken off the page yesterday, but it's already been vandalised three or more times since then. I'd like to request for this page to have a vandalism tag stuck on it again. Y5nthon5a (talk) 03:41, 22 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 05:33, 22 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]


    temporary semi-protection Vandalism, continuous vandalism over the course of days. Every other edit is vandalism going back several days (specifically, to the 14th, after that, it seems to be entirely vandalism-revert).Thinboy00 @234, i.e. 04:36, 22 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Note: I just realized that can be misinterpreted. "after" means chronologically. --Thinboy00 @235, i.e. 04:38, 22 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
