    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 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.

    A Series of Unfortunate Events (TV series)

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing. Favre1fan93 (talk) 17:31, 12 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Single IP that stopped after two edits half a day ago. SoWhy 18:29, 12 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Husky Tours

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent editing from several IP users claiming that Husky Tours has been bought by another company Yanson Group of Bus Companies without any proof, citation or article. Please see also article "Advanced Liner" which the logo was all made up from "SriLankan Airlines". Thanks! Bumbl_loid 18:15, 12 February 2017 (UTC)

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. SoWhy 18:39, 12 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    National Hockey League

    Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring. XboxGamer22408talk to me 19:15, 12 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    See Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring#User:Sparhawk85 reported by User:Keri (Result: ) Keri (talk) 19:41, 12 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Hoobastank (album)

    Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – A relentless IP changing genre's. IP waits for the page protection to expire and goes back to work. Pending changes would also help. - Mlpearc (open channel) 20:40, 12 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Mifter (talk) 21:01, 12 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    Comment Mlpearc I was just looking at this and about to decline the request for the same reason. Looking at the page history I am seeing very little in the form of disruptive editing and there is no history of page protection at all. Are you sure this is the page you meant to request PP for? -Ad Orientem (talk) 21:04, 12 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    @Ad Orientem: There are other "Hoobastank" pages, the activity I discribed could be on another page, but the disruption is the same. No worries, I'll just remove all Hoobastank pages from my watch. - Mlpearc (open channel) 21:10, 12 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    I see. Unfortunately there is not much we can do about this kind of low level "now and then" kind of vandalism. It comes with the territory. And short of requiring registration in order to edit, which the community has repeatedly rejected, we are just going to have to live with it. -Ad Orientem (talk) 21:18, 12 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Super Bowl XXXIX

    Temporary semi-protection: Under pretty heavy attack from IP vandals. CityOfSilver 21:24, 12 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    User(s) blocked. Mifter (talk) 21:28, 12 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    You ought to consider blocking everybody in 2601:48:c503:ee10 since this person will probably just switch identities to a different part of that range again. CityOfSilver 21:32, 12 February 2017 (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 President of the United States

    Unprotection: I dont think protection is needed anymore. Flow 234 (Nina) talk 11:32, 12 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Question: Have you asked the protecting admin, GlassCobra (talk · contribs), first? SoWhy 12:00, 12 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks for the heads up on this. Although the initial reason for protecting the redirect was based on a discussion from 2009, I still agree with the rationale -this should be kept at semiprotection level to prevent bad-faith moves. GlassCobra 20:30, 12 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    Declined. Favonian (talk) 20:45, 12 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    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.
