    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

    Semi-protection - subject to constant, silly vandalism. Legit contributions are all from established accounts. Plenty of watchers to handle requested edits but they spend most of their time reverting vandalism at the moment. Stalwart111 22:19, 12 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Several anonymous users keep vandalizing the article, adding nonsence for "fun". I've tried to stop them myself but to no avail.--Malvodion (talk) 22:06, 12 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Extend pc time or upgrade to semi-protection? The protection admin. is not active at this time. --Gh87 in the public computer (talk) 21:14, 12 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Ware has recently signed a 3-year deal for the Broncos and a lot of Cowboys fans are going after this just to mourn his departure. MegaGardevoir68 (talk) 20:53, 12 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Third request for PP. Multiple vandalism edits by different IPs over the last 48 hours. Ad Orientem (talk) 19:57, 12 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. This player who previously played for the Miami Dolphins was recently traded to the San Francisco 49ers. I don't know if this has to do with him in the aftermath of a bullying scandal or something. MegaGardevoir68 (talk) 16:15, 12 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protection: Disruptive editing. This football signed a 6-year deal for the Denver Broncos. MegaGardevoir68 (talk) 16:15, 12 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protection: Disruptive editing. This football player signed a 5-year deal for the New Orleans Saints. MegaGardevoir68 (talk) 16:15, 12 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary full protection: Since Crimea's declaration of intention to separate from Ukraine 48 hours ago, there has been edit-warring among both registered and non-registered users over whether it belongs on this list or not. This has happened in spite of reiterated calls for discussing edits in the talk page. Result is that now Crimea has been added as two separate entries (which is something completely against the purposes of the page). Requesting that the page be protected in order to force editors to discuss edits on talk page. Ladril (talk) 16:00, 12 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Same situation on List of sovereign states. TDL (talk) 17:15, 12 March 2014 (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.

    Unprotection: 398 transclusions. I'm surprised it's template-editor. meteor_sandwich_yum (talk) 22:59, 12 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined Please ask the original protecting admin (discounting the script-assisted edit), User:Mr. Stradivarius. My personal opinion is that it's used enough to warrant semi protection at the least. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 00:38, 13 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    I don't remember why I protected it, to be honest. Perhaps it had more transclusions last year than it does now. Anyway, I've lowered the protection to semi. — Mr. Stradivarius ♪ talk ♪ 00:52, 13 March 2014 (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.
