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 protection Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level Request unprotection Request a specific edit to a protected page Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here Request edit

Temporary semi-protection Vandalism. This high profile article is extremely stable (only one bot edit in the last 50 edits over the last 8 days),[1] but under very frequent attack from anonymous IPs and new accounts. There has been about 10 vandalising edits in the last 24 hours. There is a case for permanent semi protection, but I'm requesting a week block in the hopes that it will quiet things down.- (User) Wolfkeeper (Talk) 17:20, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

full protection Vandalism. A political opponent (even after being defeated in the election) continues to vandalize the entire page. I would like the page reverted back to the 15:14, 14 September 2008 72.195.128.189 version and then permanently protected. The user that continues to deface the page is: caughtinnarragansett. You had previously put temporary protection on it through the election but he is back! Last time with the semi-protection some of his vandalism still made it through so I would like that 15:14, 14 September 2008 72.195.128.189 version. Thanks! 72.195.128.189 (talk) 13:44, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Current requests for unprotection

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.

The page has been protected from recreation as the band have been labled not notable enough. They have charting singles and have appeared on the front cover of Kerrang! I have worked on a page for the band in my user page User:Cabe6403/current2 and would like the page unprotected so I can create it with the information on the stated userpage. Cabe6403 (Talk•Please Sign my guest book!) 10:29, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

If a decision is reached either way could someone drop me a line on my talk page and let me know. Cheers Cabe6403 (Talk•Please Sign my guest book!) 10:39, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

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.
