Wikipedia:Requests for page protection
| 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

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – The one-month and two-month PP protected from IP vandalism, but each time it started back up again one week after the protection ended. It is the same specific vandalism each time and is being driven by a popular youtuber who is a self-described enemy of the BLP subject. ▶ I am Grorp ◀ 05:22, 29 May 2024 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Recent spate of IP disruptive editing. Amigao (talk) 13:10, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
Hyperia (roller coaster)
Reason: I'm unsure if this is suitable for protection since it's more minor than most cases, but I thought I'd ask just in case: high percentage of disruptive editing (whether intentional or not), mostly from IPs; the easiest to find diffs for was changing infobox parameters to incorrect values (1, 2) and addition of unsourced material (1, 2, 3, 4, 5). It's been persistent since at least the 24th (when the rollercoaster opened). Suntooooth, it/he (talk/contribs) 13:52, 29 May 2024 (UTC)

Pelle Pelle
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent spam of outlets/scam websites since unprotection. Had a look, would appear that the real website is pellepelle[.]com and they seem to be aware of a spam problem. Also suggest pblocking Mariaanjan1998 or an outright indef. Pahunkat (talk) 16:03, 29 May 2024 (UTC)

Current requests for reduction in 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
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.
