Requests for page protection


Current requests for increase in protection level

[edit]
Request protection of a page, or increasing the protection level

Place requests for new or upgrading of article protection, upload protection, or create protection at the BOTTOM of this section. Check the archive of fulfilled and denied requests or, failing that, the page history if you cannot find your request. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.


Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement – Arbcom: India Pakistan articles. Heyaaaaalol (talk) 01:31, 15 December 2024 (UTC)

Hi Heyaaaaalol, contrary to the very similarly named WP:ARBPIA, the WP:ARBIPA area has no automatic extended-confirmed protection. There has been some disruptive editing in the history of this article, but no recent incident. Is there a specific reason for requesting this today? ~ ToBeFree (talk) 03:01, 15 December 2024 (UTC)
This article falls under WP:General sanctions/South Asian social groups and can be placed under indefinite extended confirmed protection if there is a history of disruption. - Ratnahastin (talk) 12:34, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Persistent disruptive editing by various IPs. RachelTensions (talk) 08:36, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

Reason: High level of edit warring, I have spoken on talk page yet being ignored by the editor. Replayerr (talk) 13:40, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

Reason: Persistent vandalism. Entranced98 (talk) 15:35, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

Reason: IP vandalised it. Said they would "be back" after being banned. (Babysharkboss2) 16:57, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

User(s) blocked: 169.204.0.0/16 (talk · contribs). That's what they all say, but it won't be from that range, which I just blocked for yet another 3-year term. Favonian (talk) 17:21, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Consistent IP vandalism. Blocking the IP range may also be an appropriate solution. GPL93 (talk) 18:20, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

Temporary extended confirmed protection: Persistent disruptive editing – IP editors continuing to remove redirect to an unreferenced promotional page created by UPEs despite other editors objecting to its creation. Becoming disruptive as it's happened several times in the last week. CNMall41 (talk) 18:23, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

Reason: Indefinite semi-protection. Unconstructive edits. Also has a lengthy history of protection, hence why it needs Indefinite semi-protection. 50.100.44.204 (talk) 18:26, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – Persistent disruptive editing from block-evading IP user based in Bolivia. CurryTime7-24 (talk) 18:36, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – Persistent disruptive editing from block-evading IP user based in Bolivia. CurryTime7-24 (talk) 18:37, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Has since 14 December been the target of a bizarre hoaxing vandalism by an IP and a number of new accounts restoring the same hoax. CMD (talk) 18:53, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

Current requests for reduction in protection level

[edit]
Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level

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.

Reason: Courcelles have not responded, please unprotect if reasonable. ミラへぜ (talk) (ping me!) 01:06, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

17:45, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

Reason: It hasn't been vandalised, and there are things that should be added, such as Lorena Andrea as part of the cast, although the movie has a big controversy because of Rachel Ziegler. 190.21.180.249 (talk) 06:00, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

  • The talk page is not protected. And have you considered that a lack of vandalism might be because it's protected? Sumanuil. (talk to me) 06:12, 16 December 2024 (UTC)
Not unprotected – Please use an edit request to request specific changes to be made to the protected page. As pointed out, Talk:Snow White (2025 film) is not protected. Favonian (talk) 17:27, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

Reason: Move protection was never really needed because there is no history of bad moves. Unprotection is needed because the page should be (uncontroversially) moved to match the sentence case of the other Merseyrail/Merseytravel and also to follow how Transport for London underground and overground lines are named. 10mmsocket (talk) 11:10, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

Current requests for edits to a protected page

[edit]
Request a specific edit to a protected page
Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here

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.

Why have you unreverted my revision of the Hayden Panettiere article? 81.152.221.213 (talk) 00:06, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

Right then. I've looked at the previous decline and the related NPR discussion. I guess the message has already been sent that being open and transparent at the time of the application is good and needed. I've checked the last ten articles and they were all of clean nature.  Done Schwede66 01:16, 16 December 2024 (UTC)
Dear Wikipedia admins, at User:Pbritti's kind suggestion I'm requesting autopatrol rights to help reduce the NPP backlog a little. I've been a Wikipedia editor for almost 20 years, and although dormant most of that time, have been involved in the WikiProject Plants stub-to-start drive for most of this year and have also created around 40 new Start-quality articles for species in the Aquilegia genus (plus a couple of related articles) in that time.

[edit]


Hi, I am re-requesting AWB perms. It was last denied because I had shown zero need for it but this time, I think I do have a reason.

I had recently created Niagara (electoral district) and Middlesex North from a (redirect) to a Disambiguation page, and it has links. I would like to use AWB to update the links, and make it point to the right pages. I'm thinking there could be more "redirect-to-disambigaution" pages that would need updating links.

I would like to have AWB permission to do simple maintenance edits, like fixing typos or fixing links to disambiguation pages, more easily. Milo8505 (talk) 19:33, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

@Pppery Sorry, could you inform me of the criteria? I thought it was 500 total main space edits or 250 non-automated mainspace edits, which I pass, as I have more than 500 total mainspace edits.
Thank you and sorry for the inconveniences.

[edit]
Requests for extended confirmation

Extended confirmed

[edit]

Reason for Request: I am requesting reinstatement of Extended Confirmed Rights after their removal by User:ScottishFinnishRadish for concerns related to "gaming EC through adding a machine translation of Fondation Maeght and Rueil-Malmaison in many small edits without attribution." He asked me to "make at least a few hundred edits" to regain it. I understand the importance of maintaining trust and adhering to Wikipedia’s policies, and I’ve since reflected on how to better contribute responsibly.

Since the removal, I have added attribution to the concerned articles. I have made over 300 referenced contributions, focusing on adding reliable sources to improve verifiability, expanding content in alignment with Wikipedia’s standards, and enhancing article quality.

I believe my recent contributions demonstrate constructive and policy-compliant editing.

Examples of Recent Contributions: Water metering, Smart meter, and Gas meter, which are in my area of expertise. Michael Boutboul (talk) 12:12, 14 December 2024 (UTC) Michael Boutboul (talk) 12:15, 14 December 2024 (UTC) Michael Boutboul (talk) 12:28, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

[edit]

Vulcan would like to be able to rename files and to help others in doing so. Already have similar role in Commons. Vulcan❯❯❯Sphere! 04:21, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

 Comment: I just declined ~15 of the requests made by the requestor because they do not meet our local requirements to be eligible for renaming. Among the worst offenders were File:Snowfall.gif and File:New Scientist.jpg; neither are completely meaningless, thus they do clearly do not meet WP:FNC#2. I imagine our criteria differs from commons, as I am unfamiliar with their system there. I would recommend that the candidate be asked to take some more time and demonstrate a better understanding of local file renaming procedure before granting a request here. — Godsy (TALKCONT) 20:15, 12 December 2024 (UTC)
Oppose as Godsy says, and given the note that I left them on the talk-page. I'd advise them to gain more experience in the area, and contribute elsewhere? Additionally, most of their rename requests recently were out of the question, here and both per Commons (adding this as Godsy said, they aren't aware of how file renaming works on Commons). ─ Aafī on Mobile (talk) 22:23, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

Noting that someone has privately expressed concerns about this user as an AfC reviewer / NPP. I'm not personally up for a deep dive at the moment, but I wanted to mention it so that the processing admin can make sure to be thorough with a review. Hey man im josh (talk) 18:21, 13 December 2024 (UTC)
I know Wiki to be an open space, except confidential, I believe concerns about my AFC review/NPP should be publicly expressed. You might as well attach links here if possible. Tesleemah (talk) 05:42, 14 December 2024 (UTC)
Private communications are allowed. I simply made a note to encourage a thorough review before granting, based on some feedback I received. If I had time to investigate myself I would have, but I wanted to respond because it popped up on my watch list. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:56, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

My rights as new page reviewer are set to expire next week as I was granted them for only two months (link).

Page mover

[edit]

I'm short of 3,000 edits requirement (currently at 2,400). I request page-moving rights as I'm encountering problems when reviewing new pages. Specifically, I face issues leaving redirects to (bad) pages I move to the draft space. Page-moving rights would help prevent redirects from being flagged for speedy deletion. ANUwrites 13:29, 15 December 2024 (UTC)

 Automated comment This user has 2377 total edits. MusikBot talk 13:30, 15 December 2024 (UTC)
@Anuwrites: If you use the MoveToDraft script, it will automatically tag the move redirect for deletion, at which point it takes little work for an admin to check and delete the redirect (with no additional work for you). The script will also show a warning if you try draftifying an article within an hour of its last edit despite WP:NPPHOUR, as happened in this move yesterday. And it will leave a notification on the talk page of the article's creator, which you should be doing as explained at WP:DRAFTNOTIFY. Based on that, there isn't sufficient cause to make an exception to the guidelines for granting, plus your draftifications could still do with checking.  Not done. SilverLocust 💬 16:15, 15 December 2024 (UTC)
@SilverLocust Thank you for simplying the process for me, seems like I didn't need the right at this time, I installed the "MoveToDraft script" and it has done awesome on Draft:Hiroshi Suzuki (ambassador) page. This is all that I wanted, CIAO. ANUwrites 22:47, 15 December 2024 (UTC)

Although, I must admit, I should simultaneously take care to not get into any content dispute I see; I'll do my best not to get into one this way. Thanks for considering (again). 2601AC47 (talk·contribs·my rights) Isn't a IP anon 01:40, 1 December 2024 (UTC)

P.S.: as a sure guarantee my use of rollback is done safely and without causing any significant issue, I'll use Mr. Stradivarius' ConfirmRollback. 2601AC47 (talk·contribs·my rights) Isn't a IP anon 01:45, 1 December 2024 (UTC)
2601AC47, a confirmation click before rollback has become a feature that doesn't need userscripts anymore. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 00:08, 15 December 2024 (UTC)

I would like to be able to access rollback tools to fight vandalism more effectively, I am familiar with Wikipedia's rules. SparklingBlueMoon (talk) 17:17, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

This permission will help me in combating vandalism. I’ve been actively patrolling recent changes, always warning users when necessary, assuming good faith, and taking full responsibility for all my edits. I also do crosswiki patrolling and recently joined the SWMT. — Jet Pilot (talk) 21:03, 3 December 2024 (UTC)

Hello! I had been actively patrolling RC in 2023 but paused for a long time since I was too busy. I plan to resume soon and would like rollback rights to make it easier. However, I mostly edit on my school computer so I am unable to use any tools such as Huggle, RedWarn, etc. Thank you for considering my request.

Note from 07:07, 6 December 2024 (UTC): I had just been informed that RedWarn can be used on a school computer, so it's very likely that I will be using it. xRozuRozuteacups 23:57, 5 December 2024 (UTC)

I have been reverting vandalism by undoing edits, warning users, and monitoring several pages to keep them protected. Rollback rights would make my efforts faster and more efficient. I am familiar with WP:VANDAL. ZyphorianNexus (talk) 07:15, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

I have been reverting vandalism since I created my account. Although it appears I am a new user, I also have experience editing Wikipedia and reverting vandalism as an IP for many years (which I will not be disclosing due to security concerns). The rollback right will help me revert vandalism faster, which is why I am requesting it. PersonAccount 🐉 (talk) 20:08, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

PersonAccount, to be honest, no, it doesn't appear you are a new user. Which is okay if all previous activity was without having an account and without disruption. It will take longer than for other users until the trust for manually granting permissions is there in your case. It isn't yet, to me. Unless someone else grants rollback in the next week or so, I'll decline this with a recommendation not to ask for permissions until your account is a year old. Regarding rollback in particular, Twinkle and Ultraviolet will do just fine. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 02:11, 15 December 2024 (UTC)

I am finally starting to have a WP:CLUE, though I still deserve a good whack to the face with some WP:TROUT more often than I would like. While redwarn/UV is nice, it is not very fast to load diffs in the browser the way that I do at the moment (it is surprisingly resource intensive), and I think Huggle would help quite a bit along with reducing mistakes made as diffs would be clearer with less lag and more efficient resource usage. I have made mistakes, and will continue to make mistakes, but I find myself leaving more and more diffs untouched now that I realize more often when I don't have a WP:CLUE. Any advice is welcome, and advice on if I should still be using RedWarn or if there is some reason I should switch to UV would be welcome as well.  💬 04:16, 15 December 2024 (UTC)

Being able to mass-rollback would've come in handy the last few days when dealing with cleaning up after an editor who had made a mess with adding copyvio images across a large number of articles (on multiple occasions). It was suggested that I requesting the rights for handling it easier in future. RachelTensions (talk) 05:54, 15 December 2024 (UTC)

Reason for requesting rollback rights: I'm quite active in the Recent Changes, and having the rollback feature would make reverting vandalism easier and quicker. jolielover♥talk 07:00, 15 December 2024 (UTC)

Hello I'm Ampil. I'm fighting vandalism again, and I'm quite active in the Recent Changes. I use AntiVandal tools like AntiVandal and Ultraviolet. After Fastily retired on November 19, 2024, I have more than 200 vandalism reverts in the last 4 months, and I meet all minimum requirements. The rollback rights would make it easier. declined requests:

  1. [6] The account age 2 weeks.
  2. [7] ~2 weeks last declined. You need wait 1 month.
  3. [8] Please see 3rd, decline reason.

Thanks. ~🌀 Ampil 💬 / 📝 08:26, 15 December 2024 (UTC)

Hello Ampil, you're applying to review others' contributions to an English encyclopedia. Please provide a request without significant grammatical errors. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 02:17, 16 December 2024 (UTC)
@ToBeFree: I fixed all significant grammatical errors. ~🌀 Ampil 💬 / 📝 03:11, 16 December 2024 (UTC)
Ivebeenhacked kindly did so on your request. Also, "I'm quite active in the Recent Changes" seems to have been copied from the request above yours. I find Rosguill's granting of the new page reviewer permission highly optimistic, looking at the page deletion of a good article review because The reviewer's messages are not close to comprehendible. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 07:43, 16 December 2024 (UTC)
n.b. that was a trial run conferral, although if I'd seen the GAR deleted by Liz I would have declined for the same reasons. signed, Rosguill talk 14:19, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

I want to become a rollback user on Wikipedia because I’m passionate about maintaining the integrity and quality of Wikipedia. With rollback rights, I’d be able to efficiently revert unconstructive edits and help uphold the standards of this incredible collaborative project. My goal is to contribute positively to the community while supporting Wikipedia’s mission to provide free knowledge to the world. Vikingsam (talk) 13:42, 16 December 2024 (UTC)
