Welcome—request protection of a page, file, or template here.

Shortcuts WP:RFPP WP:RFP WP:RPP 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. Skip to table of contents requests to raise protection lower protection requested edits (purge) 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 to a protected page Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here Request edit

Reason: Seems edit war among two users may break out one of them is IP. A weeks protection may help so they think to join on talk page. Bookku ( talk) 06:24, 21 June 2024 (UTC) reply

Consider the edit warring noticeboard – This is a case of possible edit-warring by one or two users. Although this might be a bit early...at the moment it's very slow. Lectonar ( talk) 07:26, 21 June 2024 (UTC) reply

Reason: There has been a persistent level of vandalism for about a week now. I recommend that the Pending Changes Protection Policy (WP:PCPP) should be implemented. RevMSWIE500 ( talk) 06:34, 21 June 2024 (UTC) reply

Semi-protected for a period of two weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. @ RevMSWIE500: Pending changes is a pain because problems still occur and still need to be checked and reverted. There should be more edit summaries saying that reliable sources are needed. Johnuniq ( talk) 09:00, 21 June 2024 (UTC) reply

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – There's an IP hopping anonymous editor from Egypt who, for the last month, kept removing release dates and added that it is "the final game" (which shouldn't be added, it is the *last* entry, not the *final* entry). Warnings haven't worked, behavior continues. Perhaps a temporary edit protect makes it clear that has to stop. soetermans. ^{↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK} 09:20, 21 June 2024 (UTC) reply

Before posting, first discuss with the protecting admin at 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.

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.

A historical archive of previous protection requests can be found at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection/Archive.
