"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 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 IP edit warring as well as vandalism following his appointment to the Order of Canada. Reggie Perrin (talk) 23:21, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protection. Vandalism from multiple anon IP, talk in article, suspection of sock-puppetry, appropriate templates in their talkpages without success. --Yopie 23:18, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

    Semi-protection. Vandalism will get worse in time for the holidays.

    Semi-protected for a period of 3 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. PeterSymonds (talk) 22:45, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Long term full protection. Just deleted last night as a repost of previously deleted material, just recreated today (as the first contribution of a new account) as a redirect to Britney Spears. Let's make sure it stays a redirect, and doesn't try to become an article again. This article has been created and deleted five or six times already.
    Kww (talk) 21:28, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Fully protected indefinitely. When it comes out, and is article-worthy, it'll be unlocked. Thanks, PeterSymonds (talk) 21:32, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    indefinite semi-protection Vandalism, This page has already been semi-protected several times. Every time it gets unprotected, the result is a flurry of IPs vandalism the instant it's unprotected..Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 21:25, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Probably no grounds for indef protection at the moment. Although the vandalism is not stopping, protection should increase in stages. Thanks, PeterSymonds (talk) 21:34, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Current requests for unprotection

    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.

    Unprotection request. This page has been protected since November 2007 - there appears to be no reason for it to stay protected. I've never edited the page, but I noticed the talk page has no recent activity, so I thought maybe the protection status was not intended to last so long. Jack-A-Roe (talk) 17:46, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Unprotected It looks like it was a revert war. However, the protecting admin gave no edit summary, and never specified an expiry, which sometimes happens with disputes. It appears to have been forgotten about. By the way, this page remains Move protected because it has previously subjected to move vandalism according to the logs. Thanks, PeterSymonds (talk) 20:24, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    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.

    To create functionality for a new project task force; as per the diff on the talk page. Thanks! Girolamo Savonarola (talk) 07:31, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Already done. It was fulfilled by myself(Sorry, I was thinking of one of it's related subpages, not that it matters too much) earlier today. However, please note in the future that this is for urgent requests only. Ordinary requests should be kept at CAT:PER; as you can see, this page is often heavily backlogged! Thanks, PeterSymonds (talk) 15:59, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for 2 weeks. CIreland (talk) 13:34, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]


    semi-protect. Was protected for 24 hours on the 19th of June after Stephen Colbert mentioned "triffids" and "wikipedia" in the same sentence. Four anonymous edits added the same information as a "cultural reference" yesterday; it looks like the relevant episode has been repeated. McGeddon (talk) 10:45, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 3 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Thanks, PeterSymonds (talk) 09:03, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protection - A short term temporary protection to prevent random IP and new user vandals from vandalizing the article in response to the team's relocation from Seattle, Washington. --Bobblehead (rants) 05:46, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected indefinitely. Hut 8.5 06:32, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    semi-protect. 3RR, verging on edit-warring... IP user continues to add a NN name to the dab page Darren Stevens. I warned and tried to explain the situation, but he/she/it continued until final warning, then switched IPs and continued again... Adolphus79 (talk) 04:48, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Note: Upon reviewing the history of this page, I think an indefinite semi-protect would be in order. It appears that the same user has been doing this same edit for the last 3 months, using about a half dozen different IPs so far... - Adolphus79 (talk) 05:25, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    Semi-protected for a period of 3 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. The page has never been protected before. Indefinite semi-protection is only used for pages that are the subject of tendentious and entrenched IP vandalism and disruption. Stifle (talk) 08:48, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Indefinite Semi-Protection - I don't want anyone editing this RFC page at all for IP address and newly registered users. --75.47.151.81 (talk) 03:04, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined, please cite a policy reason: "I don't want" probably isn't sufficient. I'm willing to consider, but having a RFC and eliminating a large number of our users is probably not acceptable - Philippe 04:27, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    semi-protect. Article already receiving disruptive vandalism before the film's release (see talk page). US Holiday means fewer people around to revert. Would like to see the article remain encyclopedic in the interim. MMetro (talk) 02:55, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 9 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. - Rjd0060 (talk) 03:03, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
