Wikipedia:Requests for page protection

Page semi-protected

    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.

    Addison Rae

    Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – The edit warring here continues. Perhaps implement a higher level of restriction for a month as her album is released today. Karst (talk) 08:49, 6 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Akwete cloth

    On conducting a special military operation

    Reason: Per WP:RUSUKR: Only extended-confirmed editors may make edits related to the topic area. Many edits are in violation of this policy, so it appears that protection is necessary. Yours truly, Stuffinwriting | talk | sign | contributions 04:49, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    When Life Gives You Tangerines

    Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – Edit warring again, previously involving another user, now with IP, the same involved editor, looks to be exhibiting ownership issues and that other is always wrong, they're always right. — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 10:55, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Qian Family Lineage

    Reason: I only needed 2 edits to "Move" this article but I cannot since there are no more edits needed. Fzmwml (talk) 15:23, 8 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

     Courtesy link: User:Fzmwml/sandbox
    @Fzmwml: This account has three edits to its name; you need a minimum of ten. And attempting to move it into mainspace would just lead to it getting kicked back to draft. We don't cite Wikipedia, and this pages goes off on irrelevant tangents in the text proper. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 15:26, 8 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    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.

    Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa

    Reason: Unprotection: This article has been semi-protected since 2008 due to apparent sockpuppetry (from this banned user, I suppose). The first Madagascar film was also semi-protected that day for the same reason, but had since been unprotected in 2018. As the first film gains more than twice the amount of views than this one in the past year (see here), doesn't see really much disruptive activity right now, and that sockpuppeteer primarily targeting on Disney articles, perhaps it's time to test whether long-term protection is still needed? The protecting administrator has long retired since 2010. BriDash9000 (talk) 10:40, 8 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Unprotected. Bambifan101 is inactive. Sdrqaz (talk) 03:04, 9 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Talk:2025 India–Pakistan conflict

    Reason: For the talk page, Can you reduce protection to allow me to introduce a viability for a new article on "Operation Sindoor" as this was one of the dedicated operations launched by India like that of Operation Trident and Operation Python. Atleast to open a discussion round to seek its possibility Navaneeth822 (talk) 16:31, 8 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    @Navaneeth822: Try requesting at WP:RFPP/E to have someone make the thread for you. The page isn't likely to be unprotected anytime soon given the disruption by partisan editors. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 16:43, 8 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Changed link to talk page. The page is protected as arbitration enforcement so we cannot unprotect it unilaterally; please speak to the protecting administrator if you want the page to be unprotected. Declined. Sdrqaz (talk) 03:04, 9 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    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.

    World Tourism rankings

    I would like to request that... (There is an error regarding the ranking table of countries by number of international tourists in 2024.

Thailand, for its part, is no longer part of the world's top 10.
