    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



    Current requests for increase in protection level

    Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – vandalism. Joeykai (talk) 04:24, 12 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 2 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. -- Deepfriedokra 04:33, 12 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Please protect this article at least for a week. Sai Raghavendra Puranam (talk) 13:01, 12 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 3 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. I agree it probably will need it for longer, but as it's never been protected before, and the majority of edits - both good and bad - come from IPs, let's see what happens. Feel free to come back if it just resumes. Maybe this will encourage some of the perennials to create accounts. - CorbieVreccan 01:22, 13 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary Semi-protection: High level of IP vandalism. Relentless edit warring and usage of passive-aggressive language in hidden text deterring users who maintain the page. Aaryangupta23 (talk) • AllyJay50 (talk) 14:56, 12 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    User(s) blocked: 2405:201:4801:665B:11CF:B87F:4C7:7FA8 (talk · contribs). for the hidden-text spamming. - CorbieVreccan 01:30, 13 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    Indefinite create protection: Not sure if it fits into the four criteria, even the generic one, but @Bishonen: declared intention to salt the article deleted at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of scientists who disagree with the scientific consensus on global warming which was done by @Jo-Jo Eumerus:, and this should have been done to any redirect targets because anyone can create that article there. Also List of notable scientists opposing the mainstream scientific assessment of global warming, List of scientists skeptical about global warming, List of scientists opposing the IPCC scientific assessment of global warming, List of scientists opposing the mainstream assessment of global warming, and List of living scientists opposing the mainstream scientific assessment of global warming. ミラP 17:07, 12 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    It's quite a muddled history, but most of those were just folks moving the page(s) around without consensus, yeah? Doesn't seem like there's been a great rush to disrupt using these titles. I could see doing the title page here (List of scientists opposing the mainstream scientific assessment of global warming) just given the long history, but I don't see a huge need for the other five. We don't regularly protect former redirects to every salted page unless there's a reason or evidence they've been abused as well. ~ Amory (utc) 19:58, 12 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protection: Consistent IP vandalism. A temporary semi-protection was imposed several months ago, but vandal operating from several similar IPs (i.e. 178.11.254.97 and 188.96.206.249) continued vandalism afterward. I first made several manual reversions, stupidly. gentlecollapse6 (talk) 02:29, 13 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    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.

    Reason: Reduce to indefinite semi-protection since no other NFL teams' pages are ECP (been in place for 4 years), feels a bit unfair to new users who actually have good edits to make on the team. MakaylaHippo1998 (talk) 19:10, 1 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Current requests for edits to a protected page

    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.

    Please correct the Iranian civilian casualties in paragraph three. First it was changed without reason from 200 to 600. Then someone changed and seperated the estimate by Human Rights Activists in Iran News Agency (HRANA) estimate to be over 1,100 civilians killed which is conflating all deaths with civilians. No source was added to support this. The sources currently listed next to these sentences actually say 200 but these are out off date. HRANA's latest figure is actually 431 civilians killed. The source is presently used in the infobox for their own estimate of 1,190 total deaths. The Iranian government hasn't released updated figures so that should be removed until they have an estimate. I suggest adding the following sentence:

    "According to the anti-government Human Rights Activists in Iran News Agency, 1,190 Iranians were killed including at least 431 civilians."

    Create a level 3 header with a link to the article in question, then a {{pagelinks}} template and then the reason. It looks like this: Wikipedia:Example (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) your request here. ~~~~
