    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 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.

    Catalonia

    Fully protected: High level of vandalism. Da Vinci Nanjing (talk) 14:15, 27 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. SarekOfVulcan (talk) 14:38, 27 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    BrownHairedGirl fully protected it. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 14:52, 27 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Jason Morgan (General Hospital)

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Persistent addition of unsourced content, and removal of sourced content by anonymous editors. livelikemusic talk! 14:38, 27 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Pending-changes protected for a period of 3 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 19:35, 27 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Executive Order 11110

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Persistent vandalism by IP hopper, fooled a newer editor this morning. Ravensfire (talk) 14:56, 27 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. If this changes and the level of disruption continues to pick up, let me know. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 19:36, 27 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    List of states with limited recognition

    Temporary full protection: Suggest protecting for week to prevent edit warring and changes to insert Catalonia. Their parliament just voted for independence today but inserting them on the page would be inappropriate unless they try to assert independence in meaningful ways and get some actual recognition from UN members. New states don't pop up very often so locking it for a while is not going to hurt anything. We can address developments through talkpage consensus and an Admin edit if required. Legacypac (talk) 15:01, 27 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Note: I would hold off a little while - it's not a clear edit war yet, and may end up being fine, with people understanding that it will be added once it's clear it fulfils the criteria. With 30/500 protection in place (full disclosure: I fulfilled that request via RfPP not so long ago), things hopefully shouldn't get too bad. Samsara 16:47, 27 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    Agreed. Lets leave this request open for now and keep eyes on this article. If things turn into an edit war / content dispute, we can take action at the time and when its necessary. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 19:37, 27 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    List of Presidents of the Philippines

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing. LG-Gunther :  Talk  15:15, 27 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 19:37, 27 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Vijay filmography

    Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Unruly users keep adding to the table Vijay 62, a film that doesn't begin shooting until Jan 2018, in violation of WP:NFF. Protection is also needed since articles related to the subject actor are extremely vulnerable to vandalism by his fanboys and haters. Kailash29792 (talk) 15:18, 27 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 3 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. If the disruption continues after the protection expires, it's easy to extend it. Let's start with 3 months and see how this goes... ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 19:39, 27 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Rational number

    Temporary protection: Persistent anon vandalism DVdm (talk) 15:58, 27 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 2 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 19:40, 27 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Davao City

    Semi-protection: High level of IP vandalism. SCRM 1292 (talk) 16:24, 27 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Pending-changes protected for a period of 3 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 19:41, 27 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    The Amazing Spider-Man 2

    Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Continued disruptive editing by multiple IPs after previous protection expired. Brojam (talk) 16:45, 27 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Let's start with a one-month duration and re-evaluate things after the protection expires. If we need to extend it for another few months, it can be easily done. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 19:42, 27 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Heckler & Koch G3

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – Multiple IPs keep adding the same unsourced content. Adamgerber80 (talk) 17:01, 27 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    User(s) blocked. I'm keeping an eye on the article's edit history for more IP hopping; I'll take care of them if more disruption occurs. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 19:44, 27 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Jebala people

    Temporary pending changes: Persistent vandalism – Multiple IP users keep vandalisimg this article. Cocohead781 (talk) 17:39, 27 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 12 hours, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 20:01, 27 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Harvey Weinstein

    Temporary protection: Persistent vandalism. LakesideMiners (talk) 18:04, 27 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    @LakesideMiners: What type? I think at least ECP, as autoconfirmed accounts have vandalised or violated BLP recently. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 19:10, 27 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    User(s) blocked. The article is on my watchlist, and if we get anymore vandalism or BLP violations from autoconfirmed accounts, I'll up the protection to ECP. TonyBallioni (talk) 19:46, 27 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    Already protected by administrator Oshwah. --George Ho (talk) 20:26, 27 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Hurrem Sultan

    Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Buncha nationalistic editing by IPs. EvergreenFir (talk) 18:16, 27 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 20:02, 27 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    42nd Ontario general election

    Steve Carell

    Short-term semiprotection. A vandal is hopping around IPs faster than I've ever seen, trying to include inappropriate edits they agreed to stop alongside frantic, attacking summaries. It's already under P-C but Carell is clogging up the pending list. CityOfSilver 19:30, 27 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Already protected by administrator TonyBalloni. Enigmamsg 19:54, 27 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    List of street view services

    Temporary semi-protection. There's a user who owns a page that continues to add their web page to this list of services via a range of IPs. Appears to be ongoing for almost 2 months. 168.215.145.158 (talk) 21:05, 27 October 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.

    Lil Pump

    Can we finally unlock the name for this page? If you recall, I requested this previously but with so many bad faith editors trying to spam this, I was told to submit it to articles for creation. I did so and it was denied (by user Flow234 who is now blocked for using multiple accounts). I have done nothing but good edits on Wikipedia (please check my edit history) and feel like I am being treated like a second class editor because of other people trying to spam. I am not sure how any other user has any more rights to judge the notability of the topic than I do since we are all in the same boat. I think this is evidenced by the now banned user whose opinion was apparently valued more than my contribution history. I have since moved the page to the person’s real name of Gazzy Garcia and invite editors to recommend it for deletion if they feel it is not notable (there are also two other related pages created by another editor, Lil Pump (mixtape) and Gucci Gang). What I would request is that the name Lil Pump be unlocked so that we can move the page to the proper name. By the way, I made another request to the administrator about three weeks ago and they have not edited during that time so I have had no response.--DoubleuWW (talk) 03:59, 27 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Catalonia

    Could this page's protection level be downgraded to 30/500 (extended confirmed)? Full protection is way too much for a content dispute and may hinder real contributors. 30/500 lets real users contribute and keeps most vandals out instead of the page been 'frozen' and unable to be edited bby real users who have shown they can contribute. Taalk message left here.Thank you. --Sau226 (talk) 15:01, 27 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    We'll wait to see if there's a response from the protecting admin. Regards, Samsara 15:52, 27 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    @Sau226: I just read your exchange with the protecting admin - are you withdrawing the request here on that basis? Thanks, Samsara 16:38, 27 October 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.
