    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.

    Eurasian cuisine of Singapore and Malaysia

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – Repeated addition of unsourced content by a dynamic IP that refuses to discuss. Valereee (talk) 18:24, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Repeated disruptive changes to actor's preferred pronouns by IPs. This has been ongoing since 2022 on-and-off. Trailblazer101 (talk) 20:06, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Sukhoi Su-30MKI

    Reason: Temporary semi-protection: Page is currently the subject of disruptive behavior from an IP-hopper whose edit summaries include charming statements like [1], [2], [3], [4], and "I have many proxies I will keep doing it." ([5]). Probably just needs couple of days. Egsan Bacon (talk) 21:29, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 2 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 23:34, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Safety of Rwanda (Asylum and Immigration) Act 2024

    Reason: The article has been the subject of persistent vandalism which editors have had to remove. It is likely, given that the Act has just passed, and given the nature of the Act which is to remove asylum seekers from the United Kingdom to Rwanda, it will persist in being the victim of vandalism in the near future. I would propose an interim WP:SILVERLOCK be imposed. I will also add that, as can be seen from the history page, some of the comments appear to be racist, inflammatory and scurrilous. It is sad people hold these views. UnicornSherbert (talk) 21:29, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    User(s) blocked blocked by Joyous!. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 23:31, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Also, please just use the page protection level name in your requests rather than the color. Thanks. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 23:31, 25 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.
