    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.

    Current requests for increase in protection level

    Place requests for new or upgrading of article protection, upload protection, or create 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.

    Full Protection: Ongoing edit-warring over multiple issues, including misleading WP:3RRN reports. MilesMoney (talk) 04:24, 4 December 2013 (UTC)

    • This is a naked attempt to WP:GAME the system and "win" a content dispute by a user who hasn't found much support for his arguments at the article's Talk page. The AN3 case MilesMoney refers to is here . The patrolling admin can decide for him- or herself whether it is "misleading". Roccodrift (talk) 05:40, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
    Immediately before requesting page protection, I reverted myself. I caution you to WP:AGF here. MilesMoney (talk) 06:01, 4 December 2013 (UTC)

    Star Sports Related Articles

    Temporary full protection: These articles have been repeatedly vandalised with the use of curse words in English and Hindi (Indian language) and every attempt at removing the abuse has been reversed and more abuse is repeatedly put up. This is being done by IP which are dynamic as well as one Wiki logged in user who has since been reported and banned. SheetalGoel (talk) 03:44, 4 December 2013 (UTC)

    A number of Aizu related articles

    Temporary semi-protection: All these articles are being targeted on a daily basis by a dynamic IP . --DAJF (talk) 00:28, 4 December 2013 (UTC)

    Declined, to be honest, I don't see the problem with the IP's edits. Mark Arsten (talk) 01:48, 4 December 2013 (UTC)

    Talk:Neymar (edit | article | history | links | watch | logs)

    Temporary semi-protection: The article was just semi-protected (and I strongly suggest that this protection is extended.) Now the talk page is being vandalized by brand-new accounts and by IPs; BLP violations a-plenty. I know SP on these pages is a rare thing, but this is an extraordinary circumstance. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 15:16, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

    Semi-protected for a period of 2 hours, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Hopefully that will convince them to give it up. I'd rather get in early then have to search through the page history and figure out which accounts are good and which aren't. Hopefully this will convince them not to bother.

    Current requests for reduction in protection level

    Shortcuts

    Before posting, first discuss with the protecting admin on 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.

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Reported sports transaction, unconfirmed, a physical exam needs to be passed and it's not a given. – Muboshgu (talk) 01:53, 4 December 2013 (UTC)

    I don't think I've ever requested semi-protection on a page with pending changes. If they can't be done together, than please disregard this request. – Muboshgu (talk) 01:56, 4 December 2013 (UTC)

    Current requests for edits to a protected page

    Further information: Misplaced Pages: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 Misplaced Pages:Suggestions for COI compliance), the {{Edit COI}} template should be used.
    • Requests to move move-protected pages should be made at Misplaced Pages: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.

    Fulfilled/denied requests

    A rolling archive of the last seven days of protection requests can be found at Misplaced Pages:Requests for page protection/Rolling archive.
