    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

    See [1]. We should not protect Today's FA, unless the vandalism gets unmanageable, and I think it's being covered quite nicely today. Nishkid64 19:46, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    Request short term semi-protection of about two weeks. Basicly there seems to be a bit of an edit war going on about the number of cruiserweight championships he has won. So protecting the page for a fortnight might help. Then hopefully it will die down after that. Govvy 17:57, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-Protect - article was up to par and agreed upon with the actual living person (who is a wiki editor and was contacted for approval) and suddenly annonymous people make claims and edits to "defend his honor". Jaakobou 15:26, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    I suggest that prior to deciding whether to protect or not, one observe the article, the short talk page and the edits in question and judge whether the case is as Jaakobou describes. --70.48.242.49 17:05, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    Current requests for unprotection

    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 significant edits to a protected page

    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.

    See [[Template talk:Lts}}

    • Basically there's a double use of another template, which should only appear in the Doc page. I've explained what to do on the talk. If you're not a template guru, the simplest thing would be to copy and paste the Meta version in. Thanks // FrankB 10:35, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    • This page is protected apparently because of his status as an ex-member of US Congress and my status as a noob. He is also one of the greatest track & field milers of all time and the discussion of his athletic career needs a major update. I have proposed some changes on the Talk page and would like to expand on this further, but am awaiting permission prior to doing a full write up.Fizbin 20:04, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
