Wikipedia:Requests for page protection
 | 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. |
| Welcome—request protection of a page, file, or template here. | ||
|---|---|---|
|
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 | ||

Reason: Repeated introduction of promotional links. Recent examples: [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] ☆ Bri (talk) 19:41, 14 January 2025 (UTC)
Semi-protected for a period of 1 year, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Ymblanter (talk) 22:39, 14 January 2025 (UTC)
- Automated comment: @Ymblanter: One or more pages in this request have not been protected.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 23:00, 14 January 2025 (UTC)
Permanent template protection: High-risk template. New CSD template for existing sub-criterion. ToThAc (talk) 23:57, 14 January 2025 (UTC)
Reason: High level of IP vandalism. Some protection should be added till the next presidential elections happens or till the next president gets elected so till May 2025. AK (talk) 02:13, 15 January 2025 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Ip editors kept on adding unsourced content. Cassiopeia talk 03:46, 15 January 2025 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – User keeps replacing "is" with "was" without a reason. FilmandTVFan28 (talk) 04:36, 15 January 2025 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 05:17, 15 January 2025 (UTC)
- Automated comment: A request for protection/unprotection for one or more pages in this request was recently made, and was denied at some point within the last 8 days.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 05:32, 15 January 2025 (UTC)
Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Almost immediately after the last page protection period ended, the vandalism of this page began again from several different IPs, adding clearly fake movies that are non-sensical like "Mohamed the Movie". Last protection period was for a month, so I'm requesting indefinite protection this time. λ NegativeMP1 05:37, 15 January 2025 (UTC)
Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing. Niasoh ❯❯❯ Wanna chat? 05:51, 15 January 2025 (UTC)
Semi-protection: Various IPs have repeatedly redirected this page to TF1 since November 2023. GTrang (talk) 06:08, 15 January 2025 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – IP jumping editor repeatedly blanking sourced content without explanation or discussion. Escape Orbit (Talk) 07:11, 15 January 2025 (UTC)
Reason: High level of IP vandalism. Previous protection was for three months. I think longer protection would be in order. — Chrisahn (talk) 07:16, 15 January 2025 (UTC)
Reason: User:Hermes_Express. There is a high level of vandalism by the user. The user reverts several changes even after several warnings. The user gives unsourced and low-quality citations and removes several resources aiming to propagate misinformation. The user also adds sources that aren't related to the article. The user keeps changing the page even after several warnings. Adrikshit (talk) 07:18, 15 January 2025 (UTC)
Reason: Page was vandalised several times by User:Hermes_Express to propagate misinformation. Several changes were reverted by the user. Adrikshit (talk) 07:20, 15 January 2025 (UTC)
Reason: IP-hopping vandal. Previous protection was for a week. I think longer protection would be in order. — Chrisahn (talk) 07:22, 15 January 2025 (UTC)
Reason: IP-hopping vandal. Other pages affected by this vandal have been protected for a week or so, vandal returns as soon as protection expires. Maybe longer protection would help. — Chrisahn (talk) 07:26, 15 January 2025 (UTC)

Reason: They are literally removing content with references ShrimanBhakt (talk) 08:21, 15 January 2025 (UTC)
Current requests for reduction in protection level
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
Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here
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.
Add “by June 30, 2024” to the sentence: The Lancet has estimated 70,000 deaths due to traumatic injuries.[8] Seahumidity (talk) 23:09, 12 January 2025 (UTC)
BFDI is a good show and i wanna make a Wiki page bout (and is 13 or 15 years old) HendrixanBFDIfan (talk) 00:32, 15 January 2025 (UTC)
- No. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 00:41, 15 January 2025 (UTC)
- @Jéské Couriano Good job telling him that. For @HendrixanBFDIfan, BFDI is not allowed on Wikipedia since the topic is not notable for inclusion (See WP:BFDI). Due to persistent abuse, any titles with the phrase "Battle For Dream Island" are on the Title Blacklist and the original article got deleted and Create-Protected since the article was repeatedly created since the topic is not notable for inclusion.

Not done – Favonian (talk) 06:18, 15 January 2025 (UTC)
