    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

    Claudia Sheinbaum

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – IP editors keep insisting that Sheinbaum's title should be "governor" instead of "mayor". I have explained multiple times in the edit summaries, and on the IPs' talk pages, that English RS translate her title "jefe de gobierno", as "mayor". signed, Rosguill talk 18:12, 25 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    Edward Banayoti

    Temporary extended confirmed: Persistent disruptive editing – This article has been blanked by multiple editors for containing less than favorable content about the subject. An OTRS case was opened by the subject resulting in an AfD request (discussion currently open) and a COI edit request (answered). Until the matter is resolved, continued blanking is likely. Orville1974talk 18:37, 25 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

      Note: Extended confirmed protection can only be used where semi-protection has proven to be ineffective. As it happens, all the principal combatants have been blocked. Malcolmxl5 (talk) 15:51, 26 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    Tejasvi Surya

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Protection lapsed and IP vandalism re-started again; ultimately, this BLP has a controversial section which IPs attack. Britishfinance (talk) 19:22, 25 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    123Movies

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – This page clocks over 10,000 page views because derivatives of its name are used by other illegal movies sites (but are unrelated to it); past protection has lapsed but we are back to non-stop attempts by IP/new users, to insert spam links to other illegal sites into the article. . Britishfinance (talk) 19:28, 25 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Persistent disruption, genre warring from multiple IPs from Maryland. Binksternet (talk) 20:51, 25 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    List of Prime Ministers of Canada

    Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – We have been dealing with a lot of back and forth edits with an IP and block evasion for six months....all could be pevented it this FA list was semi protected. Moxy 🍁 02:06, 26 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

      Note: Hmmm, three reverts of IP edits this month (one of which was a revert of a good faith edit) and, I think, four in May does not seem excessive. Malcolmxl5 (talk) 07:26, 26 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    Eurovision Song Contest 2020

    Temporary semi-protection: - IP disruption as always.--BabbaQ (talk) 07:12, 26 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    Ishaq Dar

    Indefinite extended confirmed: Persistent disruptive editing – Continuous disruption, maybe affiliated with the subject, removing neutral information. They continue to push their point. As his case is pending so I suggest protect it for indefinite period. Störm (talk) 08:25, 26 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    Password (film)

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – I don't know why to many ip address doing disruptive edit , Even, this article already adding Controversy. i think need to protect for this article few days. NahalAhmed (talk) 10:04, 26 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    List of common misconceptions

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Current revert warring involving IPs, no consensus reached on talk page. {{u|waddie96}} {talk} 11:52, 26 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    This is a blatant attempt by Waddie96 to get his/her preferred version protected by preventing IPs from editing. Look at the article history and the four criteria for adding items to the article. There is no vandalism, and in fact there is a violation of a long-standing consensus for the article by Waddie96. Waddie96 has just as much obligation to change consensus on talk as others do to maintain consensus. There should be either no protection or full protection. Thanks. 75.191.40.148 (talk) 14:48, 26 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    @75.191.40.148: Please quote the consensus you've mentioned above... {{u|waddie96}} {talk} 15:26, 26 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Open an edit window anywhere in the article and you'll see a banner at the top of the page so big you can see it from 20 feet away, and it has a big red stop sign and the words "READ THIS FIRST: Criteria for entries to this list" followed by "an item added to the list must at least fulfill the following", followed by the four criteria for inclusion of an item in the article. That banner was added by an administrator after the consensus was reached. Most people who bother to look and want to follow consensus can't miss it. Good luck finding it, and let us know if it's not there when you look. If you want to find the discussion of the consensus, you can find it in the archives, but again you have to be willing to find it. It goes back quite a few years, and a consensus does not expire unless it is changed by another consensus discussion. There's a very good reason the four criteria were established. The article has a long, ugly history of everyone and his brother adding their favorite misconception that most people never heard of, to the point that the article was massively bloated with crap (e.g., misconception that Jews can only have sex through a hole in the sheet; misconception that a duck's quack doesn't echo; etc. etc. etc., none of which were sourced to be common misconception). The article is still a crap magnet, but better than it was years ago. If you want to make an exception to the existing consensus (the four inclusion criteria), you must discuss on the talk page and wait for consensus. That's the way it works around here. 173.209.178.244 (talk) 22:22, 26 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    Pokémon (anime)

    Indefinite semi-protection: Long-term, persistent vandalism and disruption. Both articles of the franchise and video game series are semi-protected indefinitely, with this article having a much messier protection log history than the latter. QuestFour (talk) 14:49, 26 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    List of the oldest living people

    Indefinite Semi-protection: Persistent IP vandalism that takes the form of death hoaxes or blatantly unwarranted inclusions, and sometimes page blanking. The death hoaxes are serious WP:BLP violations. This article has been semi-protected for a period of months many times, but once it runs out this same vandalism reoccurs every time.

    Ismail Haniyeh

    Reason: No longer needed, despite this being recent, the protection dates from a preventive protection in 2017, and should not be protected. Since preventive protection is not allowed. Protoeus (talk) 21:06, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    @Protoeus: The only way this protection can be lifted is to appeal the general sanctions regime. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 21:08, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Protoeus: You also should not be editing in this topic area per said general sanctions, full stop. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 21:10, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I tried to apply Prime Minister of the State of Palestine for this protection, and they declined, and I said, if that cannot be protected, why this is protected if both are in literally the same topic. Protoeus (talk) 21:12, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Jéské Couriano: look above message. Protoeus (talk) 21:14, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Protoeus: Because the PMotSoP is not, by default, part of the Arab-Israeli conflict, which is what the General Sanctions focus on. Ismail Haniyeh is. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 21:22, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Unprotection: Was semi'd for five years apparently due to a block evader; length seems too long, probably better to shorten to no more than one year (with a length of three months or six months probably being better).

    Template:Infobox time zone UTC

    I think we should unlock this template on 1 August this year because I think Primefac has accidentally locked this template because I didn’t know that I used edit warring so I’m really sorry that I used edit warring when I put my previous changes down and I promise I will not use edit warring again when I put my changes down next time.

    Wikipedia:Reference desk/Archives/Computing and friends

    Unprotection: I am requesting that the move protection be removed from these pages. These pages are currently redirects. I am requesting these pages have their move protection so that I, as a page mover, can move several subpages in one go from their respective "Wikipedia:Reference desk archive" counterparts in one go in an effort to marry the subpages with the current names of their appropriate parent pages. Unless the seven pages I'm requesting having their protection removed can be moved away from their current titles temporarily, they block the ability to move the subpages in one go. (The protecting administrator, RockMFR, has not edited in over three months; so, at this point, I have yet to contact them. However, they were pinged when I linked their user page in the previous sentence.) Steel1943 (talk) 22:53, 26 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    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.
