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.

Mughal–Rajput wars[edit]

Reason: High Level of vandalism, vandal blocked but vandal seems to be ip editing, check page history. Dilbaggg (talk) 06:10, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. CambridgeBayWeather (solidly non-human), Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 14:58, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

Scarborough Shoal[edit]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Contentious topic in relation to recent escalations in South China Sea; article has been regularly edited by new/IP users to favor a particular stance. Sanglahi86 (talk) 13:41, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. CambridgeBayWeather (solidly non-human), Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 15:08, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

Jyotiraditya Scindia[edit]

Indefinite pending changes: BLP policy violations – I have reverted the edits of ips numerous times on this page where they tend to change caste of the political figure. He has self identified himself to this caste and yet continuous disruption is seen in that area. Pending change protection will draw attention from patrollers and help keep it intact. Admantine123 (talk) 13:56, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. user warned. CambridgeBayWeather (solidly non-human), Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 15:15, 10 July 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.

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.

Hello, I have created 100+ articles, primarily focused on television series. And I plan to keep doing the same. Thanks for your consideration C1K98V (💬 ✒️ 📂) 08:51, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

Hello there, I have created 30 articles as of now and mainly created articles from entertainment industry and love to doing it. now requesting for Autopatrolled right. Xegma(talk) 18:01, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

@Xegma: A few questions about the following BLPs which you recently created:
  • Bijaylakshmi Chatterjee: which reference supports the date of birth in the infobox?
  • Piyali Munsi: which reference(s) support the birthday, education degree, and alma mater information in the infobox?
  • Suman Dey: which reference(s) support the year of birth, education, and alma mater information in the infobox?

Page mover[edit]


User:KingSkyLord[edit]

I have been editing for over 7 years and I plan on using this permission in order to help with discussions on WP:RM and deal with cross-redirects for articles that should have more disambiguated titles. KingSkyLord (talk | contribs) 12:46, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

User:Ae245[edit]

This user right will be super useful to me for moving unsuitable articles to draft space (eliminating the need to tag the resulting redirect with R2), dealing with articles created by new users in the wrong namespace (that I come across a lot as a vandalism patroller), and performing a round-robin move on two pages (that I try to fix occasionally when an editor copy-pastes an article). I've familiarized myself with the guidelines for moving and the article title policy. Ae245 (talk) 08:05, 10 July 2024 (UTC)


Pending changes reviewer[edit]

User:CrazyPredictor[edit]

I've been actively editing in different topic areas (mainly politics/civics) on Wikipedia for a few years and have created some new article pages. In this time I have gained a strong understanding of Wikipedia guidelines and would like to apply that to review edits to articles to identify vandalism / inappropriate edits.

Rollback[edit]

User:Garsh2[edit]

Good day! I am requesting rollback rights to speed up the process of reviewing recent changes. I meet the mainspace edit count requirement and have been patrolling recent changes for over month. My track record of reviewing shows that I can quickly and effectively differentiate between vandalism and good faith contributions. Thank you. Garsh (talk) 17:39, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

 Done -Fastily 08:04, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

User:Pinakpani[edit]

I am requesting rollback rights after making regular efforts towards combatting vandalism and disruptive editing. After previous denial, I sent messages in the users talk page multiple times as norms. Hope, the rollback permission able me enough to fight against vandalism edits on Wikipedia. Pinakpani (talk) 07:22, 9 July 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 08:04, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

User:Rkieferbaum[edit]

Hi there! Requesting rollback rights to be able to use different tools for reverting vandalism. I'm open to any questions or feedback on my editing and counter-vandalism actions. Cheers. Rkieferbaum (talk) 11:34, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

Template editor[edit]

User:Jackdude101[edit]

I am heavily involved with editing route diagram templates and adding new items to template:rail-interchange, with a special focus on rail lines in France for the upcoming 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris starting later this month. I have made multiple edit requests there in the past, and very recently after refamiliarizing myself with the process, I've started to do it again. I would like the ability to edit that template directly so I don't have to rely on others to do it for me. Jackdude101 talk cont 07:46, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
