Wikipedia:Requests for page protection

Page semi-protected
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Wikipedia:RFP)
    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.

    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

    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.

    Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Persistent disruptive editing. 48JCL TALK 14:19, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Many of the editors who engaged in the recent edit warring were EC ... upgrading to that level of protection would have no effect on them. If that's what prompted this report, the CTOPS designation allows to impose 1RR instead. Would you prefer that? Daniel Case (talk) 21:01, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    If the edit warrimg accounts were Extended-Confirmed, then shouldn't the article be Fully Protected so Extended-Confirmed Users can't edit it? 70.50.199.125 (talk) 20:32, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    We only full-protect pages during severe edit wars, and only for a short period of time (like, IME, never longer than a week). 1RR is better when we get to persistent edit warring involving editors at that level. Daniel Case (talk) 03:29, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – IPs constantly adding possible copyvios and unsourced material. — Iadmctalk  05:33, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Lectonar (talk) 10:58, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Ip edits aren't helpful at all. Another IP pops up again and it definitely needs to be protected. 🍕Boneless Pizza!🍕 (🔔) 05:42, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    • Automated comment: A request for protection/unprotection for one or more pages in this request was recently made, and was denied at some point within the last 8 days.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 07:39, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Cassiopeia talk 06:54, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Tiana's Bayou Adventure

    Reason: Distributive edits from IPs. Likely the same person who has been removing content. Since the Florida version of the ride opens later this month, the page will likely receive a lot of attention in the coming weeks. Contributor19 (talk) 07:08, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Miss Maryland

    Reason: Disruptive editing from unregistered editors critical of 2024 winner Bailey Anne Kennedy. Pending changes protection requested. Darrelljon (talk) 08:00, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Mohsin Raza Naqvi

    Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing. Saqib (talk) 08:27, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Muppet Babies (2018 TV series)

    Reason: Persistent addition of unsourced content. Waxworker (talk) 08:54, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Farukia Madinatul Ulum Madrasah

    Temporary semi-protection: Edit-warring on the removal of maintenance templates. Belbury (talk) 09:09, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Current requests for reduction in protection level

    Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level

    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.

    2024 Nuseirat rescue operation

    Reason: 1. Misleading title. 2. Falsification of history. 3. Hiding the reality. 4. Ignoring hundreds of bloods shed for a "rescue" that ended up as "massacare". 5. Throwing the opinion of millions of people and only considering a minority of tyrants. 105.38.228.16 (talk) 08:09, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – articles relating to the Arab–Israeli conflict may only be edited by users with extended-confirmed status. You may request specific changes to this article at WP:RFPP/E. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 08:47, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Current requests for edits to a protected page

    Request a specific edit to a protected page
    Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting 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.

    2024 Nuseirat rescue operation

    I would like to request that Nuseirat refugee camp massacre be linked under the 'See also' category in the same way this article is linked in the 'See also' category in the aforementioned article. This will give continuity between the two articles in avoid bias. matt. (talk) 06:45, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
