    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.

    Request protection of a page, or increasing the protection level
    Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level
    Request a specific edit to a protected page
    Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here

    Current requests for increase in 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: Edit warring by multiple editors on a featured article, about (of course!) adding an infobox. The editors involved are mostly very experienced so immune to semi-protection. There is an ongoing discussion at Talk:Frédéric Chopin#Infobox? which I will now notify, I suggest locking the article until that discussion is resolved. --Mirokado (talk) 02:23, 15 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – There has been quite some vandalism over the last few weeks, many in the last few days, with similar edits being done by different IPs who may or may not be the same. . Pyrotle…the "y" is silent, BTW. 23:38, 14 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: Trolling by IP. Request two to three days semi. Robert McClenon (talk) 20:19, 14 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    Template protected for a period of 3 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. This has been going on for a while, so I think it's good to semiprotect it for a while to see if it will stop future vandalism. Bjelleklang - talk 00:47, 15 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    Indefinite full-protection:Continuous Edit Warring. ―― Phoenix7777 (talk) 20:14, 14 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    User(s) blocked. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 00:52, 15 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protection and/or pending changes protection - the article is just one giant edit war. Though a goodly amount of the edit warring come from auto-confirmed editors, many of the disruptive edits are from IPs.--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 05:35, 14 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. I see an edit war between two autoconfirmed accounts that seems to have gone off the boil and a little bit of disruption from an IP. Nothing that needs immediate admin intervention. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 21:53, 14 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    Current requests for reduction in 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.

    Would an admin unprotect Kirby Delauter and move Draft:Kirby Delauter to Kirby Delauter? See this close of Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard#Review of Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2015 January 8#Kirby Delauter and Draft:Kirby Delauter by Spartaz (talk · contribs) (thank you, Spartaz, for reviewing and closing the discussion):

    This discussion has stalled. As far as I can see there may be disagreement here about whether the article should hae been deleted but there isn't a killer policy based argument that the delete aspect of the DRV as closed was wrong. Where I am seeing a lack of consensus is around whether the salting should have been reinstated. As the salting was part of the original deletion is is certainly in RoySmith's ambit to reinstate this with the endorse finding but, on challenge, we do not have a clear specific consensus. As such, and bearing in mind that DRVs remit is deletion not salting I think the consensus is that reinstating the salting is not an enforcable provision of the DRV close. What does that mean? It means that any admin can unsalt this without needing to see consensus on the point. The only reason I have not done this myself is because there appears to be a risk of BLP issues to consider and I have not got the time right now to research the question to determine if there is a BLP risk from the unsalting. This does not preclude someone who has got that time from doing so.

    Cunard (talk) 00:24, 14 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    Not unprotected This should be taken back to DRV; I am not going to override an endorse close there by my own action. Courcelles 19:06, 14 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    Current requests for edits to a protected page

    Further information: Wikipedia:Edit requests
    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.
