Requests for page protection


Current requests for increase in protection level

Request protection of a page, or increasing the protection level

Place requests for new or upgrading pending changes, semi-protection, full protection, move protection, create protection, template editor protection, or upload 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.


Template:Ranks and Insignia of Non NATO Armies/OF/Morocco

Reason: Not involved; dispute between two editors and no discussion initiated, see ANI report for details. Jerium (talk) 17:37, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

As both of the users involved are extended-confirmed, only full or template protection will force discussion. Is that what you want? Daniel Case (talk) 04:15, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
Addendum: Or we could block them from the template for a week, although I'd prefer not to leave it on their block records unless that's the only choice we have. Daniel Case (talk) 04:22, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
Template protection might help; it would prevent the editor who started it from editing. 𝓥𝓮𝓼𝓽𝓻𝓲𝓪𝓷24𝓑𝓲𝓸 (ᴛᴀʟᴋ) 08:25, 28 November 2023 (UTC)

Current requests for reduction in protection level

Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level

Before posting, first discuss with the protecting admin at their talk page. Only post below if you receive no (favourable) 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.

History of rugby union matches between New Zealand and Wales

Reason: The page is semi protected and I am unable to expand the page further. 102.132.215.62 (talk) 05:44, 28 November 2023 (UTC)

Declined. That page does not seem to be protected. If you're having trouble editing it, let me know what error message you're receiving. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 05:52, 28 November 2023 (UTC)

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

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.


2023 Israel–Hamas war

I would like to request that "making this the deadliest war for children in modern times" be removed from the lead for failing verification. Of the four citations appended to that sentence only the article from Al-Jazeera addresses that claim, said article makes clear that more children have died in other modern conflicts, specifically in Syria and in Afghanistan, and the phrasing seems to be based off of an assumption from the article headline that is not explicitly stated in the article's text. More than that the sentence itself is unclear as it doesn't distinguish what timeframe encompasses "modern times". Either way for the verification problem it's unfit for the article and the sentence should simply end after stating the number of children killed. XeCyranium (talk) 00:09, 24 November 2023 (UTC)

  • Automated comment: @XeCyranium: This request cannot be parsed. Please ensure it follows formatting consistent with the current or previous methods of submission.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 00:13, 24 November 2023 (UTC)
Removed malformed wikilink (squiggly brackets are for templates). It duplicated the link of the subheader, and was causing Multiline HTML table in list errors. No other action taken, leaving request for another user to consider. Zinnober9 (talk) 00:37, 24 November 2023 (UTC)
Thank you for fixing that. XeCyranium (talk) 02:13, 24 November 2023 (UTC)

An additional source (ITV) has been added which states in its own voice "Gaza has become, in just one month, the deadliest conflict for children this century.." which would seem to resolve the issue.Selfstudier (talk) 19:51, 24 November 2023 (UTC)

I appreciate that, thank you. Though I would be somewhat concerned about including it if the Al-Jazeera source came to a different conclusion, though not having seen the other maybe it's just a difference in when they were published. XeCyranium (talk) 21:47, 24 November 2023 (UTC)
I'm sorry but after reading that source I still think the claim as it stands in the article should be phrased differently to align with the source. The ITV source says it is deadliest modern conflict in how quickly children have been killed. I feel like if it's left at "deadliest" without qualifier it's akin to saying this conflict has caused the greatest number of child deaths, not that the rate of death is higher than in previous conflicts. Hopefully with the truce there won't be any more deaths and it can remain below being the deadliest in terms of numbers. XeCyranium (talk) 21:55, 24 November 2023 (UTC)
That would be too much detail for a lead sentence and we shouldn't include lengthy quotes in the lead either. I could add a quotation to the ref if you like, then it would at least be in popup. Selfstudier (talk) 13:25, 25 November 2023 (UTC)

Day of the Dead

I suggest to add more context when it comes to ofrendas. Specifically adding the tiers ofrendas are often known for. I created the following paragraph which could be used as a basic structure for what the text could look like: During Dia de los Muertos, altars are often composed of three tiers; the top tier will often contain photographs of the remembered deceased and religious statues or symbols; often among these photographs there is a picture of La Virgen Guadalupe. The second tier contains ofrendas, and these ofrendas often vary from person to person; factors such as age, personal experiences, and preferences help to decide the ofrendas. Moreover, the second tier of the altar is far more personal, and most of the ofrendas are a thoughtful selection for the remembered deceased. Noteworthy care is given to this layer by those creating the ofrendas, giving well-due thought to the things the perished loved throughout their lifetimes. The third tier contains candles and occasionally a washbasin and towel, symbolically allowing spirits to refresh upon arrival at the altar. LiamMoore1 (talk) 05:47, 28 November 2023 (UTC)

Not done – Please use an edit request to request specific changes to be made to the protected page. Talk:Day of the Dead is not protected. Favonian (talk) 08:14, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
