Wikipedia:Requests for page protection

Page semi-protected
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"WP:RFP" and "WP:RPP" redirect here. You may also be looking for Wikipedia:Requests for permissions, Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission, or Wikipedia:Random page patrol.
    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

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Recent persistent vandalism from similar IPs (IP hopping; continued today even after two ranges were blocked yesterday). Felida97 (talk) 12:49, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Side note: An even larger range, 2003:EE:9F00:0:0:0:0:0/42, was blocked today (after this request was made) but, to be safe, a bit of page protection would probably be a good idea, considering that the multiple previous range blocks (all of which were active when the edits today were made) didn't hinder them enough and the changes frequently include redirects, which obv have quite the drastic impact if the changes go unnoticed even for a short amount of time.

    Stephen Peat

    Temporary semi-protection: Well-intentioned IP editors keep misinterpreting the articles about Peat's death and changing his DoD -- he died from his injuries two weeks after being struck by a car, which they interpret to mean "he died that day and the news broke two weeks later.". — GhostRiver 13:53, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    India out campaign in Bangladesh

    Reason: This marks a significant moment in the history of the Bangladeshi people. It was the first step towards reclaiming control of their country from the hands of what they perceived as the authoritarian rule of Sheikh Hasina. The ‘India Out’ campaign was successful for these reasons, and now many are attempting to falsely claim credit and erase this history. Therefore, it is crucial to make this a semi-protected article to preserve its integrity. Syed Abu Shanjid Rafin (talk) 14:03, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    List of Olivia episodes

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Multiple IP6 addresses appear to be in an edit war where one has a list of the episodes for this TV series and then another IP address changes the article to a REDIRECT page. This has occurred numerous times. Since the timings are days apart, it might be helpful to protect it for a a couple weeks. Thoughts?. — Mr Xaero ☎️ 14:04, 13 September 2024 (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 at 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

    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.

    Israel–Hamas war

    I suggest adding to 'War Crimes' a section about the Sde Teiman detention camp. The use of concentration/torture camps is a very notable war crime and an important fact as it pertains to the ceasefire negotiations regarding hostage swaps. It is also relevant as many have been taken from Gaza and are being tortured under pretext of "interrogation." Jdftba (talk) 08:36, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
