Wikipedia:Requests for page protection

Page semi-protected
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Wikipedia:RFPP)
    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 unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level

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

    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. 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.

    Request for association

    Reason: I'm using as a primary user and I'm 18+ 50.84.22.183 (talk) 06:52, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Not done This board is for requesting that protection levels be changed, and in this case, to "decrease" the level of protection. There is no protection on the page you have requested a review of. Anyone, including IPs, should be able to edit it, so there isn't anything for us to do.

    Jerusalemite

    Reason: It's been almost 20 years, so I think unprotection or at least semi-protection is reasonable. See also User_talk:Fish_and_karate#Request_for_unprotectionJustin (koavf)TCM 07:09, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    • This is covered by Arb's Contentious Topics, not just a simple protection issue, via the target article Demographic history of Jerusalem, which was protected by Ymblanter about three years ago. Granted, this doesn't dictate the protection level of the redirect, but it still influences it. I would also question the wisdom of reducing the protection to semi (or removing it) given the current political environment. I wonder if this would need to go to AE or Arb anyway, because of the CT link, or be done as an AE action rather than simple admin action. I will leave to a 2nd opinion but I don't see this as a good idea. Maybe reducing to EC protection, but I can't possibly see going all the way to semi or unprotect. Dennis Brown - 07:19, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Not unprotected – Way too controversial. If you want the redirect changed, an edit request is the correct approach. Favonian (talk) 10:07, 3 May 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

    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.
