    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
    this header: view • edit



    Current requests for increase in protection level

    Place requests for protection increases at the BOTTOM of this section. If you cannot find your request, check the archive of requests or, failing that, the page history. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.

    Articles that vandalized by JAJAKOLIN KO SI PJ SANTOS

    Semi-protection: Asking SEMI PROTECTION of these articles that vandalize by JAJAKOLIN KO SI PJ SANTOS. This user is keeping on creating many Wikipedia accounts to vandalize these articles so I requested to protect these articles. 120.29.66.122 (talk) 10:58, 11 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    Note: user that vandalize the article (JAJAKOLIN KO SI PJ SANTOS) was blocked. 180.241.209.235 (talk) 11:15, 11 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    Non-admin comment: Do we need to protect 7 articles and a user talk into "full protection"? In full protection, only the admins can allowed to edit these specific articles, which means all the registered and experienced users (like myself) cannot edit those pages. Also, the all user talk pages like User talk:PJ Santos, cannot be protected as it is not an article. For me, there's no need to protect these pages as the incidents were only minor. CruzRamiss2002 (talk) 14:22, 11 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    Changed Full-protection to Semi-protection. Sorry! 120.29.66.122 (talk) 15:13, 11 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism by sockpuppets. Approximately 60% of edits to this page in the last month were from potentially undisclosed paid editing sockpuppets (recently blocked here), including four in just the last 24 hours.

    Permanent semi-protection: Page is an irregular but consistent target for a very specific form of vandalism. Page is regarding age-related legal regulations and so vandalism seems to commonly be done with with intent to deceive others, with the most likely perpetrators being minors without registered accounts.

    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.

    Independent State of Croatia

    Unprotection: Protection no longer needed after 16 years, which was semi-protected back in 2009. Absolutiva (talk) 10:57, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Pinging protecting admin @Future Perfect at Sunrise. Entranced98 (talk) 15:56, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Noting that the article falls under Wikipedia:Contentious topics/Balkans or Eastern Europe.-- Ponyobons mots 16:25, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Template:Anonblock hard

    Reason: Only 12 transclusions. Not used in block summaries, unlike {{anonblock}}. 2A0E:1D47:9085:D200:5AF:9096:9EC1:275E (talk) 16:45, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

     Comment: Is there any reason why the average editor would need to edit this? Sumanuil. (talk to me) 05:28, 21 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Presumably the IP intends to nominate this and the below for deletion based on their other edits. But that doesn't require an unprotection; they can just request that the TfD tag be added using {{edit template-protected}}. However, what makes you think Not used in block summaries, unlike {{anonblock}}? Do you have any actual evidence of this, or are you just guessing? * Pppery * it has begun... 05:02, 22 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Captain Pugwash

    Reason: This article about this fondly remembered British children's animated series has been semi-protected for ten years, with little vandalism. Frankster04 (talk) 18:42, 21 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

     Comment:: Are you sure that that's not because of the protection? Sumanuil. (talk to me) 20:37, 21 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    (Non-administrator comment) Normally I'd agree, the "there's no vandalism so no protection is needed" logic is regularly a flawed request, but ten years is certainly long enough to consider for a valid WP:TRYUNPROT request. Zinnober9 (talk) 22:15, 21 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale

    Reason: The protection is no longer necessary because this page is rarely edited at all. I have issues with https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jarnail_Singh_Bhindranwale&diff=prev&oldid=1292294117 this edit which removed a large amount of well sourced content and is POV pushing. ChanduDev (talk) 02:18, 22 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

     Comment: The page is stable precisely because it is extended-confirmed protected, often from off-wiki brigading campaigns. In fact the information was restored because a blocked user added POV from a single dated source, after deleting over 10k bytes of secondary content that contradicted their POV. Best to maintain the protection. Sapedder (talk) 03:20, 22 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Well I dont think its fair to give just one person sole control of such a page, especially when the user has a history of POV pushing and making nasty attacks against those who disagreed with him. See his block log. ChanduDev (talk) 03:51, 22 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    The article also falls under Contentious topics as well and likely to be declined by an admin anyways Untamed1910 (talk) 03:56, 22 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Declined This is an CT (previously AE) protection that cannot be overruled here. Please follow the procedures at WP:Contentious topics#Appeals and amendments if you really wish to challenge this, but the comments above are worth considering seriously. * Pppery * it has begun... 04:59, 22 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Angry Grandpa

    Reason: Unprotection or pending changes protection: This article has been semi-protected since 2017, back when the subject was a popular YouTube star. Now that it's been almost eight years since the protection (and since his death), perhaps it's time to try unprotection or downgrade it to pending changes to see how it goes? The article has seen significantly less views recently (144,097 views in the past year compared to 449,007 in 2017) and just 12 edits so far this year. The protecting administrator hasn't been active since at least 2021. I'm fine if the current protection level is still necessary, since Samsara stated there had been "very few good changes from non-autoconfirmed." BriDash9000 (talk) 07:50, 22 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Nabih Berri

    Reduction in protection level: From extended confirmed to autoconfirmed access. The current protection blocks the imporvement of the article, while the proposed one would also keep it safe from vandalism. Berri didn't play a major role in the Arab-Israeli conflict. Ibra IV (talk) 18:53, 13 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    Michel Aoun

    Reduction in protection level: From extended confirmed to autoconfirmed access. The current protection also blocks the imporvement of the article. Vandalism on this page was made only by IPs/unregistered account, meaning that an autoconfirmed protection would keep it safe from vandalism. Aoun is unnotable in the Arab-Israeli conflict. Ibra IV (talk) 18:59, 13 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    Current requests for edits to a protected page

    Further information: Wikipedia: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 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.
