    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.

    Temporary full protection: Content Dispute/Edit Warring. SMB99thx my edits 23:13, 24 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    Note: If a temporary full protection is inappropriate, then i recommend temporary extended confirmed protection instead. SMB99thx my edits 23:15, 24 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    This issue appears to be with one user, who has been given a final warning for splitting articles against consensus. If that's the case, dealing with that user is the appropriate course of action. OhNoitsJamie Talk 23:55, 24 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    Ohnoitsjamie, Thanks. I decided to put ahead an actual final warning on the user, and hopefully they will stop. If they don't stop however, we have to take that course of action going forward. SMB99thx my edits 00:56, 25 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    Extended confirmed protected indefinitely. Since several auto-confirmed users (very possibly socks) have been expanding this redirect into an article, against consensus, I have given it indefinite ECP. MelanieN (talk) 17:47, 25 August 2020 (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.

    User:LilianaUwU

    Reason: Doesn’t fully-protecting a non-administrator’s user page lock the user out of editing it? If this is not true feel free to keep the protection as Liliana is a pretty heated topic Heyaaaaalol (talk) 22:50, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Question: How is this your business? An admin has taken action they felt necessary based in evidence not visible to non-admins. I have no reason to believe LilianaUwU has any problem with it; quite the contrary. Please accept occasionally there are things going on most users have zero reason to know specific details about, so long as holders of advanced permissions are accountable within the entire community. BusterD (talk) 23:08, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Not done. What BusterD said, but at any rate it doesn't lock the user out of editing it: see WP:UP#PROTECT, third paragraph. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 23:16, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Unprotection: I've tried requesting edits as well as asking the protecting admin for unprotection. 209.166.108.199 (talk) 07:19, 25 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined. Your failure to get consensus for the proposed changes is not a valid reason to request unprotection of the article. Favonian (talk) 16:05, 25 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    I linked wp:silence twice in the discussion that Favonian points to; here it is a third time for those still under the mistaken impression that consensus did not exist... 209.166.108.199 (talk) 20:37, 25 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary pending changes: The page was locked because people jokingly blanked the page to “literally match its title”, which I presume can selectively be prevented via edit filters while letting through constructive edits. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.249.154.181 (talk) 16:41, 25 August 2020 (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.
