    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.

    Defense of Sihang Warehouse

    Reason: There have been regular attempts by various users, both anonymous and registered, to alter the number of participating Japanese forces and casualties using sources which do not support the claims or no sources at all. I have been monitoring the article for historical revisionism/vandalism but I do not wish to overstep my boundaries and think it would be better for it to protected rather than engage in potential edit wars.

    Reason: Active attack on the article by adding contexts that is not related to the article. To keep the article's scope and to avoid edit warring, requesting semiprotection. Imperial[AFCND] 08:20, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Shivaji

    Reason: Disruptive editing on the title of Shivaji, without discussing it on the talk page. Frequent edit warring and suspecting meatpuppetry. Imperial[AFCND] 10:44, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    To the Abandoned Sacred Beasts

    Reason: Persistent disruptive editing in the last days. Xexerss (talk) 11:12, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Roberto Clemente

    Indefinite semi-protection: Given the number of times this page has bursts of unnecessary edits and vandalism, I think indefinite semi-protection is warranted. I understand these are managable but I (and many others) would prefer we block them permanently rather than go through an endless routine. It would put this page on the same protection level as pages protection, in my humble opinion, for a lot less. Omnis Scientia (talk) 11:53, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Thomas & Friends series 7

    Reason: Persistent addition of unsourced content. Waxworker (talk) 14:38, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Volkswagen Beetle

    Indefinite extended-confirmed protection: This page has been vandalised ever since it was created, by both users and IPs, which is why I request extended confirmed protection. Us as the good users cannot keep reverting these edits, as cars are obscure on WP, making them a good target for vandals. Here are some counts of vandalism: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] and there too much more to count, which is why I request extended confirmed protection  750h+ | Talk  16:07, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Current requests for reduction in protection level

    Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level
    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.

    Draft:William Bishop

    Reason: Create-protecting the generic form of this name in draft space is not needed, and may interfere with submission of a draft for someone other than the current subject. Multiple forms of the name are already create-protected in article space, and some in draft space also. Robert McClenon (talk) 14:09, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    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
    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.
