    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 protection

    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.

    Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – Slow moving editwar without discussion. The Banner talk 00:19, 28 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

    Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – many vandalism. MervinVillarreal (talk) 00:04, 28 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. ·Add§hore· Talk To Me! 00:18, 28 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Over the last week or two we seem to have several anon ip's (maybe the same person) continually removing content backed by 9-10 different sources. Could we get a couple week protection for this? Thanks. Fyunck(click) (talk) 22:27, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

    Already protected by administrator The Rambling Man. - Best, Mifter (talk) 23:29, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – A week long edit war which has included sockpuppetry. Darkness Shines (talk) 21:56, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

    Fully protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Best, Mifter (talk) 23:28, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: Repeated changes making Le South Vietnamese just because that is his place of birth contra to RS provided here that shows he is American. Mtking (edits) 21:53, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

    Indefinite full protection: Persistent vandalism – Can this article please be fully protected? It is a long standing target for fan cruft, and also a target for WP:Sock puppeting from Brexx and his infinite sock drawer. Every time it seems like the article has stabilized someone comes and modifies back, reducing the single status to song-status despite there being a lengthy discussion over at the talk page. With all the other articles we look after its becoming tedius to have to keep coming back to check people hadnt reverted against consensus. — Lil_℧niquℇ №1 [talk] 20:57, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. - Best, Mifter (talk) 23:30, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary Semi-protection: High level of IP vandalism. RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 20:45, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. - Best, Mifter (talk) 23:33, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism since the last protection was over, probably by the same user from multiple accounts and IPs. Oleola (talk) 19:42, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Only 1 IP has actually vandalised the page since the protection ended. I think more time is needed before we jump to a wrong decision. ·Add§hore· Talk To Me! 00:17, 28 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

    Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – IP edits are vandalism. Being realistic, the list is featured and there isn't much changes an inexperience IP editor could do to improve the article. If you take a look at last 50 edits, almost all IP edits are silly vandalism (i.e. modifing a chart number of a sales number). The very few which are not, get undone (AGF) because the source isn't reliable. Its not the type of vandalism ClueBot can detect. As Linkin Park article has indefinite semi-protection, I think Linkin Park discography should have indefinite semi-protection too. This would make a better use of our editor resources. Thanks. Neo139 (talk) 19:11, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 1 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. We can see what happens after this. ·Add§hore· Talk To Me! 00:15, 28 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. (Via Twinkle) IanMurrayWeb (talk) 19:04, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. - Best, Mifter (talk) 23:35, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – People keep adding that "Ghetto Baby" is a single yet this is WP:OR as people are assuming that the release of the music video makes the song a single. The artist has never called the song a single. — Lil_℧niquℇ №1 [talk] 18:44, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 3 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. ·Add§hore· Talk To Me! 00:12, 28 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

    Create protection: Repeatedly recreated – A request for protection was declined yesterday on the grounds that there had been no recent activity, however the article was also deleted yesterday and versions of this article have been deleted four times since February. Sir Sputnik (talk) 18:03, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined I do not see enough recent attempts to create to create the page to warrant protection. ·Add§hore· Talk To Me! 00:11, 28 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary create protection: Repeatedly recreated – can't see this suddenly becoming notable within a year. Altered Walter (talk) 17:39, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

    Creation protected indefinitely. - Best, Mifter (talk) 23:36, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protection: IP vandalism.—Ryulong (琉竜) 15:31, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 3 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. - Best, Mifter (talk) 23:37, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: BLP policy violations – ip user keeps adding unsourced information.   little green rosetta(talk)
    central scrutinizer          15:14, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected indefinitely. - Best, Mifter (talk) 23:40, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

    Request for semi-protection. Multiple counts of vandalism from unregistered IP addresses.--Haon 2.0 (talk) 14:53, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection.. Last actual vandalism was a month ago and most of the recent IP activity seems pretty constructive. Kuru (talk) 20:38, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

    Indefinite feedback protection (apparently this exists?). Basically all of the feedback here is misplaced or pointless; I assume this is because when you log in there's a link to CentralAuth right above the link to whatever page you were on when you clicked "log in," so people go to CentralAuth, see the feedback box, and assume it's the right place to post their comments. And seeing how rarely this page is edited - only two edits this year that weren't vandalism/misplaced, or reversions thereof - it seems that there's not any particular need to allow feedback submissions; if there's anything that seriously needs to be changed, either an (auto)confirmed user will notice it, or enough non-(auto)confirmed users will care that one of them will file an edit request.

    It is worth noting that of those two constructive edits this year, one was in response to a feedback submission saying "please add an image," but I'm 95% certain that that was a happy coincidence brought about by yet another misplaced submission. — Francophonie&Androphilie(Je vous invite à me parler) 08:09, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

    Support indef feedback protection - as a reviewer, I find myself frequently hiding feedback from this change, and I agree there is almost no helpful feedback. Vacationnine 23:58, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

    Current requests for unprotection

    Shortcuts

    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.

    Current requests for edits to a protected page

    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.
