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 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.


Screams Before Silence edit

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Persistent vandalism by IPs and persistent adding of negative content from non WP:RS. Georgeee101 (talk) 04:48, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

  Declined @Georgeee101: You may be correct but the edits are not vandalism and an explanation would be needed on article talk (which currently has nothing). Please engage with the IPs and explain about RS. If there is a link to WP:RSN discussing the source, include that. Then protection would be more justifiable. Johnuniq (talk) 05:08, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

Cocksucker edit

Indefinite pending changes: Persistent vandalism – Almost all edits by IPs and new users in the past few years have been vandalism. This is a soft redirect, so there is little room for improvement. I request pending changes protection to stop the vandalism for good. Air on White (talk) 05:21, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

  Semi-protected indefinitely. It is a soft redirect to Wiktionary and has not had a useful edit for a long time. Pending changes is a pain because edits still happen and have to be checked/reverted. Johnuniq (talk) 05:53, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

Chakma people edit

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Heavy IP vandalism over the past day. Air on White (talk) 05:37, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

  Semi-protected for a period of three days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Google translate says that one of the recent edits (in Hindi) was "Due to lack of information about the logo, the title of Cha-Ka-Ma Logo in Hindi has been shown wrongly on Google. Chakma has always been shown in Devanagari script of Hindi which is wrong. Actual name is Cha, Ka, Ma". I don't know if that is relevant to the article but clearly it is inappropriate as written. I'm just recording what happened. Johnuniq (talk) 06:00, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

Tracy Chapman edit

Reason: Disruption, same type (and same user) as Wikipedia:Requests for page protection/Archive/2024/05#Whitechocolatespaceegg. As an admin I could do it myself but I'm too involved. Graham87 (talk) 06:27, 12 May 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 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 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.


Talk:Israel-Hamas war edit

I would like to request the addition of a talk page on the Israel-Hamas war article that points out that the map on said article doesn’t show the Israeli evacuation order from Rafah and should be updated. LordOfWalruses (talk) 21:45, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

Autopatrolled edit

User:Princess of Ara edit

I recently noticed this user, Princess of Ara. An editor who works mainly on Nigerian related articles and others. While trying to appreciate the user's effort, I got in love with the lovely articles, well sources, written from a volunteer in good faith and now, I am requesting that she be granted the auto patrol user right. It'll also help reduce heavy backlog of NPP. Thanks for your consideration! Safari ScribeEdits! Talk! 08:05, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

User:Prince of Erebor edit

I have created 76 articles, primarily focused on Sinophone cinema and fantasy literature, with 2 currently undergoing GAN. All of my articles have been promptly reviewed, and none of them have been deleted or marked for maintenance. I am requesting autopatrolled rights to alleviate the workload of the patrollers, especially those who actively review film articles and have reviewed the majority of my articles, allowing them to allocate more time to address articles that truly require attention. As a side note, I am a veteran editor with patroller rights on Chinese Wikipedia, having authored over 200 articles, including a dozen featured and good articles. While I fully understand that there are differences in policies and MOS across different Wikipedias, I believe this demonstrates my credibility and knowledge in assessing article quality.— Prince of EreborThe Book of Mazarbul 13:18, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

User:SheriffIsInTown edit

I frequently create articles on notable subjects, having authored 530 articles, with the majority facing no issues. Only three were deleted, mainly due to changes in election results affecting their notability. I'm requesting autopatroller rights to ease the burden on other editors reviewing my articles and help reduce the backlog of new article reviews. Sheriff | ☎ 911 | 23:36, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Page mover edit


User:Wikiexplorationandhelping edit

I have participated in quite a few page moves as of late, and this could help me move pages more better and efficiently. Wikiexplorationandhelping (talk) 14:45, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

  Done. Primefac (talk) 12:36, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

User:PrimalMustelid edit

I work frequently on paleontological taxon pages, so it is necessary for me to be able to perform uncontroversial page moves, such as multiple clades of Hyaenodonta that were promoted to family rank by a user due to WP:OR. It is also useful for operating successful page move requests as I have previously needed to request moving pages for the likes of Ichthyosauria, Cynodontia, etc. PrimalMustelid (talk) 04:37, 10 May 2024 (UTC) PrimalMustelid (talk) 04:37, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

Pending changes reviewer edit

User:Sunnyboi18 edit

Hello, I'am applying again for Pending Changes Reviewer, as it was felt by a person who reviewed this that my request was "all over the place" and that "I didn't understand that PC rights are". I don't think that's fair.

I was simply just giving my experience and of having done 632 edits on Wiki involving mostly updating critical information, having been an Editor since Feburary 2021, and being familiar with Wiki Guidelines & Copyright and understanding the importance of making sure the info on Wiki is correct, and preventing Vandalism. And other requests saying that exact same stuff were approved, so not sure what to say but, I'am aware of the importance and privliege of this permission, and would like my request to be considered fairly, as it did not feel like that was the case the first time, based on the response that I got. Sunnyboi18 (talk) 14:36, 29 April 2024 (UTC)

  Automated comment This user has had 1 request for pending changes reviewer declined in the past 90 days ([1]). MusikBot talk 14:40, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
I'm sorry you think my decline of your request was unfair, I did read it, and I gave my honest impression of it. Just Step Sideways from this world ..... today 22:43, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
Well, you're "honest impression" was more of a commentary on me personally rather than my experience and work I've done. So once again, it does not seem like this is being processed in a fair and unbiased manner. Especially when requests have been approved with very little language in them with regard to their background or experience, or with the same amount of/less edits as myself. Sunnyboi18 (talk) 09:09, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
I'm leaving this open for another, previously uninvolved admin to review, I was just explaining myself. Just Step Sideways from this world ..... today 18:24, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
  Not done. In reviewing your edit history, it doesn't look like you're actually active in anti vandalism efforts. For example, you've only undone an edit 3 times, and each of those times was undoing your own edit. You also only have 7 user talk page edits, all of which are to your own talk page. Typically for someone involved in anti vandalism we'd expect more undo actions and some warnings posted on other user's talk pages. Hey man im josh (talk) 14:23, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

Rollback edit

User:Kingsmasher678 edit

I would like to add another tool to my antivandalism toolbelt. I already use Twinkle and make a point to warn most if not vandals. This has resulted in a lower reoccurrence rate and helps the wiki. I will use the tool to assist in these efforts. Kingsmasher678 (talk) 16:13, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

  Not done I noticed you started actively reverting vandalism about 2 weeks ago. While I appreciate your enthusiasm, I'd like to see you spend more time gaining experience fighting vandalism before assigning you advanced permissions. Keep up the good work, and consider reapplying in a month. Also, please ensure that you are consistently warning editors when you revert their edits (I recommend using tools such as Twinkle or Ultraviolet which makes this extremely easy). Thanks, Fastily 19:23, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
Thanks for the feedback, I’ll be back in a month or so!
