"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 increase in protection level

    Place requests for new or upgrading of article protection, upload protection, or create 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: BLP violations. It is currently unknown if the player is a free agent or with the Panthers. ModernSportsEra (talk) 18:51, 25 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protection: Slow edit warring, perhaps on behalf of a recently banned editor User:Ravishyam_Bangalore.Notabede (talk) 18:50, 25 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Repeated removal of sourced content. Veera Dheera Sooran (talk) 18:19, 25 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – persistent IP vandalism. DonIago (talk) 18:14, 25 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protection: Long-standing, persistant IP vandalism. There have been some legitimate edits but these have all been made by registered users. Uyvsdi (talk) 17:40, 25 November 2013 (UTC)Uyvsdi[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of three months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Mark Arsten (talk) 17:46, 25 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Persistent IP edit warring using multiple IPs, again, even after one of them was blocked; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Ninja_Gaiden_%28Game_Gear_video_game%29#International_Release. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 17:01, 25 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of one week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Mark Arsten (talk) 17:28, 25 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    Pending changes: Persistent vandalism. Jackmcbarn (talk) 16:35, 25 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    Pending-changes protected Mark Arsten (talk) 17:07, 25 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protection: edit warring, persistent IP vandalism and repeatedly recreated. This is a request for semi-protecting the article, specifically in regards to the history of the network. The history (info about PAX) has irrelevant and unimportant details including personal details about the founder, unnecessary details which can't be found in similar articles (e.g history of other TV networks). The person who is undoing the recent edits doesn't give any reason as to why such details should be included and is just interested in promoting old information which is completely out of context or irrelevant.

    Consider the edit warring noticeboard – This is a case of possible edit-warring by one or two users. Mark Arsten (talk) 17:08, 25 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: persistent IP vandalism. Ten days or so should be sufficient for this article of seasonal interest. John M Baker (talk) 16:15, 25 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    It appears that User:Legoktm protected the page in the interval between my request and the cyberbot I post. Oddly, Legoktm's protection will expire before Black Friday itself, so unless that is extended there will be heavy vandalism on Friday. John M Baker (talk) 16:48, 25 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    Already protected. Mark Arsten (talk) 16:57, 25 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    @John M Baker:, oops, fixed. Now expiring on 30th. There will be some non-protected time since UTC is before US timezones, but I think we can re-evaluate it at that time. Legoktm (talk) 17:47, 25 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary create protection: Repeatedly recreated. Hell In A Bucket (talk) 15:49, 25 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    Creation protected. Mark Arsten (talk) 16:57, 25 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protection. Recent death of BLP. DVdm (talk) 15:10, 25 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of one week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Mark Arsten (talk) 16:56, 25 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – I've asked for indef page protection last week, now again: there is an IP-hopping editor that insists on adding trivial information and commercial ELs for almost a year now. Mark Arsten (talk · contribs) did a block on a couple of IPs before, but to no avail. If not indef this time, please as long as possible. Soetermans. T / C 13:06, 25 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    • I don't see the need of protection for this - the last incident was in no way vandalism, but a WP:NEWCOMER adding valid information with improper format and weight.
    The past level of vandalism doesn't seem to merit semi-protection - but if Soetermans wants some level of protection against spam, pending changes would be more adequate - no need to completely lock IP editors out. Diego (talk) 16:45, 25 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    Consider the edit warring noticeboard – This is a case of possible edit-warring by one or two users. Mark Arsten (talk) 16:55, 25 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm 99,9% sure that that newcomer Brad snake412 (talk · contribs) is the same IP-hopper. Last edit by the IP, first edit by Brad, both on its 10 year anniversary. I appreciate your suggestion Mark, but please, take a look at the history page: this has been going on since April: the same IP coming from Subiaco, Australia. Can an admin see where a registered editor comes from also? In that case it might become clear that this is the same person. I don't mind going through RFPP, but I honestly don't think this will work. May I also encourage a pending changes protection otherwise? --Soetermans. T / C 17:11, 25 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    It doesn't matter that they are two editors or one editor that registered an account in the - those edits are not vandalism - it is the tenth year anniversary of the game. Also the 124.148.40.225 IP started editing on 20 november - maybe it's the same IP editor that added links to the Facebook page, maybe not; in any case, a single editor doesn't merit blocking the whole page for all IPs. Diego (talk) 17:25, 25 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary create protection: Repeatedly recreated. Hell In A Bucket (talk) 12:20, 25 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined It already has semi-salt protection on. Please contact Deb (talk · contribs · blocks · protections · deletions · page moves · rights · RfA) if youo think that should be increased, I presume they had a reason for semi. GedUK  13:04, 25 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protection: High levels of IP vandalism. Several people are just placing spoilers rather than an accurate summary. 50.71.34.112 (talk) 07:54, 25 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    Note: I was going to decline this, but on second thoughts I think it needs to go to AfD. To avoid becoming involved, I'll leave this request to someone else. GedUK  12:51, 25 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    Declined Mark Arsten (talk) 16:52, 25 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protection: High level of IP vandalism. Koala15 (talk) 06:07, 25 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined, What vandalism there was, which is debatable, seems to have stopped since your fuller sourced section. Majority of IP edits since then have been constructive or good faith. GedUK  12:54, 25 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary pending changes: Persistent vandalism – None of IP contributions is good. George Ho (talk) 06:01, 25 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Many of the IP changes are perfectly good faith, even if tehy've been reverted. There's not much actual vandalism. GedUK  12:26, 25 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protection: Vandalism a long period of time by IP users who by sock puppets of Sotosbros (talk · contribs · logs).--OskNe (talk) 18:46, 25 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    Current requests for reduction in protection level

    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.

    Current requests for edits to a protected page

    Further information: Wikipedia:Edit requests
    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.

    Fulfilled/denied requests

    A rolling archive of the last seven days of protection requests can be found at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection/Rolling archive.
