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.


Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring. Continued editwarring on infobox image, open discussion on talk page. - FlightTime (open channel) 15:31, 7 September 2024 (UTC)

If we full-protect it, it will mean that when that full protection expires all protection will end as it is not currently possible to layer two levels of protection. I can set a W-Ping to reset it, but this will likely mean there will be some period where the article is completely unprotected. Would you be OK with this possibiility? Daniel Case (talk) 05:14, 8 September 2024 (UTC)

Indefinate semi-protection: The page is already protected until 2122, which does not make any sense to protect a page for 100 years only for it to not be protected when that 100 years has passed. I think an Indefinate semi protection would be best. 142.114.181.79 (talk) 07:09, 8 September 2024 (UTC)

  • Automated comment: One or more pages in this request appear to already be protected. Please confirm.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 07:12, 8 September 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.

Reason: Create protection is no longer required because the page will be redirected to Royal Match. The company is not notable enough for its own article, but is best known for its creation of the game. This is the result of an AFC/R request. Original administrator has not been active since April, and a timely response is unlikely. Garsh (talk) 22:27, 7 September 2024 (UTC)

Protected for over a decade. However, both of the page protectors are likely inactive. Consider downgrading protection level and set a time limit?102.106.191.176 (talk)

Question: Agree the disruption that led to the AfD being protected has long since ceased. But curious why anyone would need to edit this closed AFD from 2011. The deleted article title (VIBES FM Hamburg) is not protected so is theoretically available for recreation if the subject has since become notable. -- Euryalus (talk) 06:48, 8 September 2024 (UTC) Euryalus (talk) 06:48, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
 Comment: There's no reason to edit it, so why unprotect it? - Sumanuil. (talk to me) 07:10, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
Let me ask you this then: why won't you at least let EC users fix Linter Errors in case if they notice any?102.106.191.176 (talk) 07:20, 8 September 2024 (UTC)

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.

Good day. I previously requested this permission but was declined due to lack of editing time on this account (I worked on an IP previously but have no way to prove this). At the risk of appearing too eager for this permission, I am requesting it again as I now have lengthier editing experience. I have demonstrated experience in AfC, AfD, CSD, draftification, and article creation. I also maintain rollbacker and pending change permissions. I believe I can be help bring down the NPP backlog and have the experience and policy understanding that is necessary to do so accurately. Garsh (talk) 01:31, 7 September 2024 (UTC)

Requests for rollback

Rollback

[edit]

Hello! I request for the permission - Rollback. ZeetBaralWiki 15:43, 5 September 2024 (UTC)

 Not done I reviewed your contributions and found little to no recent anti-vandalism work. If you're still interested in this tool then please spend at least a month actively patrolling RecentChanges (Twinkle & Ultraviolet can help with that) before reapplying. Also, please ensure that you are consistently warning editors when you revert their edits. Thanks, Fastily 09:43, 7 September 2024 (UTC)

Hello to anyone concerned.

I am requesting rollbacker rights, having done so before without the knowledge of having to warn users after undoing their edits, and I believe I now have a substantial track record of doing so ever since promising to fulfill that role. I now also have a good idea of how to use tools such as Twinkle effectively, which have greatly helped my work against vandalism.

Thanks for taking your time to read my request. Best regards, Vasil3fonov (talk) 16:56, 5 September 2024 (UTC)

 Automated comment This user has had 1 request for rollback declined in the past 90 days ([6]). MusikBot talk 17:00, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
You are still consistently failing to notify editors when you revert their edits (e.g. 1, 2, 3). Why? It's important to leave a notification for every revert you make. Are you aware that we have tools such as Twinkle or Ultraviolet that make this extremely easy? -Fastily 09:43, 7 September 2024 (UTC)
The three sole examples of me not doing it from the past month and a half, which you are referring to, are the same single person, making the same changes over and over to player statistics tables through different IPs for the past 12+ months. I looked up different pages that match the categories of the ones I've undone, and the user has been warned multiple times, to no effect, making the same edit again and again. They then stop editing from that IP and start doing the same exact edits from a new one. They have been warned multiple times by multiple users for the exact same edit yet still repeatedly undo other users' work without any explanation when they are clearly in the wrong. Examples of this are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, etc., etc.; some of those edits were way over a year ago, and I am only referencing the ones that the user has been warned for (there are thousands of other such cases from tens, if not hundreds of different IPs) that they haven't been warned for by users who revert their edits. In this case, I have decided that reaching out to the user is futile and I believe that in such extreme examples, that should be an option. What is the point of a warning the user when it is clearly proven that they will keep doing it from new IPs and never read the original talk page anyway?
I have not failed to warn a single other user for the time period since I had promised to do so, which I believe is the whole point of rollback rights in the first place. I strongly believe that this specific, and definitely irregular, case is not sufficient to justify the denial of the rights. However, this is just my point of view on the topic and if you really believe that I am in the wrong and that I should repeatedly (and foolishly) warn the same user for the same thing that they will not stop doing, and expecting a different result, then maybe I do not really need rollback rights in the end if that is to be your final verdict.
Thanks, Vasil3fonov (talk) 11:31, 7 September 2024 (UTC)
