Wikipedia:Requests for page protection

"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.

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 protection Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level Request unprotection Request a specific edit to a protected page Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here Request edit

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism - Continued long-term reverting of random edits of mine. In the past month, a number of disruptive editors have either been banned or chased away after trying to push various points of view. I'm not sure who it is, but I'm sure this is related to that; multiple different IP addresses keep randomly reverting all of my edits across multiple specific articles, but don't seem to follow me onto other articles. MezzoMezzo (talk) 04:11, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

The same problem is occuring on the following articles:

• Al-Mufaddal
• Jamia Nizamia Ghousia
• Template:Sunni Islam
• Madhhab
• Hanafi
• Abd al-Aziz ibn Baz
• Muhammad ibn al Uthaymeen
• Fiqh
• Abu Yaqub Yusuf
• Asma'iyyat
• Hamasah

Both myself and other editors have simply reverted every time the various different IP addresses have done this, so the issue is being handled, but it's very time consuming and I find that I don't have much time for more constructive edits I had been planning on. This issue was noted by other users three weeks ago and it's still going on. MezzoMezzo (talk) 04:11, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

Semi-protection: repeating aggressive and disruptive edit-warring by various IPs geolocated in Australia; article already protected for 1 week on May 21st, perhaps a longer protection is required. @Mikrobølgeovn, CAPTAIN RAJU, and Ruslik0:.GreyShark (dibra) 16:13, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Disruptive editing. IP refuses to improve the draft before resubmitting. Requiring them to log in would at least mean I knew which talk page to write on. Primefac (talk) 22:26, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

• Umbrella Corporation (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Full protection: Some editors (or a sockpuppet) have recovered the article without substantial improvements, so each recovery has been reverted. --George Ho (talk) 22:48, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Doing this manually as this seems broken to! Anyway BLP prod/tags keep on getting removed. (I am unable to get beyond a level 1 warning for the person doing it due to that being broken) Wgolf (talk) 01:25, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

Current requests for reduction in protection level

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

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.
