    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

    Temperory Semi-Protection: High level of IP vandalism, despite many warnings Imsaneikigai (talk) 04:19, 25 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Hollywood Creative Alliance

    Reason: Keeps getting vandalized and negative info being added without proper citations, positive info being removed. It was protected before, but it expired. A more permanent or long term protection would be better. Main editor doing now is @3517MountainPark, but also there was an IP editor before. I suspect it is the same person with different accounts. Other prior accounts this person used are @EncoreTalent and @MikeLFaraday. Sharamoscar (talk) 04:30, 25 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Anomalisa

    Reason: I wanna say that it was not produced by Paramount Animation, but other sources say otherwise. I do not believe it is due to the 2018 film Sherlock Gnomes' page saying it was Paramount Animation's first fully animated feature. Andy H Tisler (talk) 04:44, 25 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined Discuss your concerns on article talk page. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 19:26, 25 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Category:Nintendo Switch 2

    Temporary create protection: Repeatedly recreated – This category should be protected until April 2 at the very least, when new information about the Nintendo Switch 2 will be announced by Nintendo. GSK (talk • edits) 05:14, 25 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Aishwarya Rajesh

    List of In the Night Garden... characters

    Reason: Unreasonably long history of IP vandalism. SleepDeprivedGinger (talk) 12:32, 25 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Pending-changes protected for a period of six months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Maybe they'll give up by then. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 19:17, 25 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Talk:Bluetooth

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. -Lemonaka 14:47, 25 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Overhead line

    Reason: Persistent vandalism from someone. CricketXP (talk) 14:56, 25 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Warn the user appropriately then report them to AIV or ANI if they continue. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 19:29, 25 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Peter Beck

    Reason: An IP editor with a revolving address continues to make one change over and over. If it's possible to block the user by IP range then it would probably be a better solution than protecting the page, as I'm sure this is the doing of a single person, but I don't know what the standard approach is for this situation. --Iritscen (talk) 15:03, 25 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    User(s) blocked. Turns out that user has been doing the same thing to a bunch of pages, for some unknowable reason. Blocked the /64 range for six months. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 19:22, 25 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Holy Grail

    Semi protection: High level of vandalism from IP Users, especially the title changes from Holy Grail to either "Femboy" or "Ben Ashcroft". CricketXP (talk) 15:06, 25 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Faced with the prospect of imminent block, the IP got the point. Favonian (talk) 18:19, 25 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Kanji Swami

    Reason: High level of vandalism and Edit warring by probable sock puppet account of User:ParvatPrakash who was been already suspended. Addition of unreliably sourced content. Livingstonshr (talk) 16:00, 25 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Michael Oliver (referee)

    First Anglo-Afghan War

    Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Persistent disruptive editing – This needs a raise, incessant disruption by users/ips, reverted by numerous editors. Same person was blocked a month ago for this same behavior. Noorullah (talk) 19:54, 25 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    The same page the user currently disrupted (and got blocked for) is also extended confirmed, the Third Anglo-Afghan War page.

    Current requests for reduction in protection level

    Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the 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.

    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
    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.
