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

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.
Reason: Persistent unreferenced edits from IP users. Hotwiki ( talk) 14:02, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Soyjak party trolls frequently vandalize this page through IPs. LOLHWAT ( talk) 13:24, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism by an unregistered/anonymous user Cat's Tuxedo ( talk) 15:16, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
Reason: Extensive, near-constant IP vandalism, and I have absolutely no idea why. On top of that, Michael10020 appears to be the same spammer as Michael2176, who was indefinitely blocked for spam on these articles. The IP addresses 112.198.112.226, 112.198.112.167, and 112.198.112.172 from the Philippines appear to be part of this as well (all spamming, all in the 112.198.112.X block of addresses). Although many articles on Lithodidae (king crabs) have been spammed by this person, Neolithodes has been hit the hardest. Requesting semi-protection, and I will also be requesting a blanket IP ban on that range of addresses at the noticeboard. TheTechnician27 (Talk page) 16:38, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
Before posting, first discuss with the protecting admin at their talk page. Post below only if you receive no reply.
Check the archives if you cannot find your request. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.
Reason: Create-protecting the generic form of this name in draft space is not needed, and may interfere with submission of a draft for someone other than the current subject. Multiple forms of the name are already create-protected in article space, and some in draft space also. Robert McClenon ( talk) 14:09, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
Ideally, requests should be made on the article talk page rather than here.
{{
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.{{
Edit COI}}
template should be used.
