    Welcome—request protection of a page, file, or template here.
    Shortcuts

    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.

    2028 Copa América

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Persistent disruptive editing from multiple IPs. Annh07 (talk) 06:29, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    User(s) blocked. Steven Walling • talk 00:33, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Multiple template-editor creation protected non-template or module pages

    Indefinite full creation protection: Template-editor protection is mostly used on templates and modules per WP:TPROT, and because most deleted and repeatedly created non-template or module pages are instead fully, extended confirmed or semi salted or creation protected. PK2 (talk; contributions) 07:28, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined This makes no sense. Bbb23 (talk) 00:46, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Battle of Sétif

    Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Long-term IP vandalism. Skitash (talk) 10:01, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Steven Walling • talk 00:35, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Andrew5 socks seem to be disruptively editing the page. NoobThreePointOh (talk) 16:09, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    User(s) blocked: 12.246.51.122 (talk · contribs) blocked by Zzuuzz. for a year. It has also been globally locked for a month. Daniel Case (talk) 01:12, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Heavy Love (Louise album)

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Target of registered and IP socks of User:MariaJaydHicky over the last week or so. Aoi (青い) (talk) 18:28, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Tornado outbreak of February 5–7, 2020

    Reason: WP:LTA/Andrew5 promised to continue socking this page until it's protected. See here. GeorgeMemulous (talk) 18:29, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    This seems like one of the very, very, very few times CRASHlock is justifiable. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 18:32, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Pending-changes protected for a period of 1 year, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Steven Walling • talk 01:20, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    WWE Bash in Berlin

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent Vandalism. Fathoms Below (talk) 20:03, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Bbb23 (talk) 00:50, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    The page has since been moved to Bash in Berlin since I made that report, for reference. Someone should probably review the report below this one. Fathoms Below (talk) 00:54, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Battle of Khushab

    Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Every now and then, some random IP (probably the same person) comes and alter the sourced Infobox result from "British victory" to "Iranian/Persian victory". This has been ongoing since at least August 2023 [1]. HistoryofIran (talk) 21:26, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of six months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Daniel Case (talk) 01:40, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Sol Bamba

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Paul Vaurie (talk) 22:39, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of three days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Daniel Case (talk) 01:44, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Sack of Delhi (1757)

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Growing/persistent disruptive editing, such as adding citations needed to a lead section (goes against the order/manual of style), as well as removing parts of the infobox. Noorullah (talk) 00:01, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Given how new the article is, I'm not seeing a lot of disruption yet as a portion of the total edits. I will put a CTOPS notice on the talk page, though. Daniel Case (talk) 01:46, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    WEPN-FM

    Reason: Persistent disruptive editing – Growing/persistent disruptive editing, such as adding citations needed to a lead section (goes against the order/manual of style), as well as removing parts of the Info on the Page, fixed it so many times and IP users keep changing it.

    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.

    WP:FA

    Reason: (The redirect, not its target): The page was preemptively protected without prior deletion in logs. No prior history of vandalism. Requesting extended confirmed protection or autoconfirmed protection as WP:Featured articles is autoconfirmed-protected. 2003 LN6 07:02, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Weak oppose: There is no reason for anyone to be editing it. I got into something like this when I tried to request the removal of the protection for 9/11 (the redirect, not the article). However, I could potentially support reducing it to ECP to change it slightly faster in case the template gets deprecated. For now I oppose however. CharlieEdited (talk) 00:02, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Texas Revolution

    Reason: I am requesting it here first since the admin who protected it passed away. Protection has been ongoing for nearly 7 years, which is definitely long enough for at least a trial run of no protection. Plus, page views are quite low and edits are infrequent, making it probably not much of a target for the average Wikipedia user. I support no protection but if vandalism ramps up again I would also be fine with PC. Semi is probably overkill but I would be somewhat fine with it. Edit: Linked to redirect by accident CharlieEdited (talk) 23:59, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    That page is a redirect. Do you mean Texas Revolution? Daniel Case (talk) 01:49, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes. CharlieEdited (talk) 03:33, 1 September 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.
