    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 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.

    List of Naruto: Shippuden Episodes plus all season pages

    Semi-protection: I use this wiki page for info on when the next set of Naruto Shippuden episodes are released and I have been using it for several years. See, beginning in January of 2016, Viz Media began releasing a set of ten to twelve episodes every ten weeks, so I have been using this page in order to know when to catch them. Today I logged on and all the dates on this page along with all the dates on Seasons 1 through 20 for the entire show were changed to week intervals. I had to spend about an hour changing it back. I would like them all protected at least until new dates on future episodes need to be added. LordShozin (talk) 03:30, 27 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Current requests for reduction in protection level

    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.

    Jordanien

    Unprotection: Not sure why is exgtended confirmed . Flow 234 (Nina) talk 10:16, 25 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Eh... Looks like it was ECd by User:Maile66 because ArbCom, in their myopic wisdom decided we should indefinitely protect a few dozen thousand articles related to the Palestinian/Israeli conflict. TimothyJosephWood 10:48, 25 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes, it was because of ArbCom. Prior to this, there had been numerous other protections of the article going back a year. The ArbCom protection on it now is because of this :originating RPP, my talk page discussion on this, RFPP discussion, Arb discussion. I did it by the book, according to this from NeilN. There has been the post-protection argument, "The country of Jordan is older than the conflict. Jordan is a high level article and it is not "relating to the Arab–Israeli conflict", and something along the lines that Jorden just happens to be "a country in the region". For all of those thoughts, please refer to 1948 Arab–Israeli War, Six-Day War and Timeline of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan (post-mandate period to present day). The article was protected per ArbCom's decision on articles related to countries involved in that conflict, and the historical record puts Jordan as a major player. — Maile (talk) 20:11, 26 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Indo-Pakistani War of 1971

    Indefinite pending changes: This article seems to be under indefinite semi-protection. I am asking if it can be downgraded to pending changes. It appears that the article could use help from unregistered users. Kautilya3 (talk) 09:43, 26 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Retain the protection please to avoid edit wars and possible vandalism on a sensitive topic. We would rather invite unregistered members to come onboard and do editing after they understand Wiki protocols. Devopam (talk) 10:10, 26 May 2017 (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.
