    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.

    This page has an administrative backlog that requires the attention of willing administrators.
    Please replace this notice with {{no admin backlog}} when the backlog is cleared.


    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.

    Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – Edit warring on an article under discretionary sanctions with the "consensus required" restriction. Please consider also sanctioning individual editors as an AE action. ~ Rob13 08:31, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

    Note: I would not fully protect here for now, as I think that the back-and-forth in the article has died down more or less. Discussion on the talk-page is ongoing..... If another admin wants to protect, go ahead. Lectonar (talk) 10:09, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

    Okapi

    Semi-protection: Page sees constant persistent vandalism from vandal ips on a daily basis, often with deliberately misleading edit summaries. Semi-protection would cut the rate of vandalism by 90%--Mr Fink (talk) 23:53, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

    Semi-protected for a period of one week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. AlexiusHoratius 00:59, 7 February 2017 (UTC)

    BBC Two '1991–2001' idents

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – An anonymous user is edit-warring to restore vast amounts of text that is unsourced or poorly sourced (e.g. sourced only to online forums), contains links to copyright-infringing YouTube videos or goes into absurd levels of descriptive detail. The article has been in this bloated state for years and is tagged accordingly. Blocking is futile as the user simply hops from one IP address to the next. The PC protection that I imposed two months ago has been largely ineffective as many reviewers are simply waving these problematic edits through. The article already has a fairly extensive protection log. I would re-impose semi-protection for a few months but I'm probably too involved now. SuperMarioMan–Talk 00:03, 7 February 2017 (UTC)

    Semi-protected for a period of two weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. AlexiusHoratius 00:55, 7 February 2017 (UTC)

    Semi-protected for a period of one month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. AlexiusHoratius 00:54, 7 February 2017 (UTC)

    Catholic sexual abuse cases in Australia

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Recent news in Australia is being misrepresented in edits by IPs making POV changes. Flat Out (talk) 00:48, 7 February 2017 (UTC)

    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.

    Category:Wikipedians born in 1997

    Unprotection: No more need to protect, people born in 1991-1998 are no longer minors. Luis150902 (talk | contribs) 21:45, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

    Ethnic groups in Europe

    Unprotection: This article was protected back in 2009 for "anonymous prancing around in progress". Well, I'm pretty sure that this "prancing" has stopped, and I don't see any reason for this page to continue to be protected about 8 years later (unless I'm mistaken or missed something). JudgeRM (talk to me) 03:52, 5 February 2017 (UTC)

    Dbachmann Is still around; let's see what they think. Vanamonde (talk) 04:35, 5 February 2017 (UTC)

    Caillou

    Unprotection: unprotect right now so I can add that Caillou likes Chuck E Cheeses and he gets grounded all the time.

    Declined. No, the page is protected just so as not to have overly trivial facts added. Bishonen | talk 21:55, 6 February 2017 (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.

    Handled requests

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