Wikipedia:Requests for page protection

Page semi-protected
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Wikipedia:RfPP)
    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

    Request a specific edit to a protected page
    Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here

    I don't think you need disruptive activity. All article related to Israel Palestine - should have this protection. I think there is a policy around this @Callanecc Cinaroot (talk) 04:18, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Please follow Wikipedia:Arbitration/Index/Palestine-Israel articles#Final decision Cinaroot (talk) 04:22, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

For reference/more information, please see WT:TV#Ricky Zoom confusion and Talk:Ricky Zoom#Cleanup/updating this article. Magitroopa (talk) 03:30, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of one year, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Daniel Case (talk) 03:49, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Reason: Hi, I’m requesting protection for the Janata Party page due to repeated vandalism. The actual president of the party is Navneet Chaturvedi, but an opposing individual, Jayprakash Bandhu, keeps replacing his name on the page. This has happened multiple times, and even after two prior protections (first for one month, then three months), the edits resumed just a day after the last protection expired. I’ve been reverting the vandalism, but it’s persistent. I kindly request extended confirmed protection for a longer duration so only trusted users can edit the page. Thank you. UncleBashin (talk) 03:35, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of six months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. ECP isn't necessary; besides, you couldn't edit the page if it were so protected. Will log at CTOPS under WP:CT/IPA. Daniel Case (talk) 03:53, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Reason: there is high number of edits and vandalism on this page after 2025 Pahalgam attack this page also need same protection 2025 Pahalgam attack Cinaroot (talk) 04:08, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Binksternet (talk) 05:12, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Parksfan1955 (talk) 05:29, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Continuing after protection expired. Parksfan1955 (talk) 05:56, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Current requests for reduction in protection level

    Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level

    Before posting, first discuss with the protecting admin on 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: The protection is no longer necessary because there are changes needed without any protection. Geordy Wibisana (talk) 16:23, 3 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Reason: Film Pushpa 2 did not gross ₹1800 croes, just stopped at ₹1715 crores. That was fake news. Jawan grossed higher than Kalki 2898 AD. Rajeet R (talk) 22:25, 3 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined This is an edit request, not a request for reducing protection. Use the appropriate section. Daniel Case (talk) 03:57, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Reason: Pushpa 2 and Baahubali 2 gross was higher in than whats said. Rajeet R (talk) 22:26, 3 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined Again, this is an edit request and you should use that section. Daniel Case (talk) 03:58, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Reason: this page is biased and serves to demonstrate the claim is purports to address and declaim. 66.58.206.234 (talk) 22:38, 3 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined This is neither a request for unprotection nor an edit request. Daniel Case (talk) 03:59, 4 May 2025 (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

    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.


    There is some permission error for the word "Loco" being misapplied to this page, I'm just creating a page for the German Bubblegum Dance group. AbsentPat (talk) 01:24, 3 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Do you have a draft available? (CC) Tbhotch 01:46, 3 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    It won't let me make a one. Can you lift the suspension on all pages with the keywords "Loco", or for that page so I can start it? Or start Draft:Loco Loco (musician) for me and give me editing privileges. AbsentPat (talk) 21:29, 3 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I’ve created it at Draft:Loco Loco (musician). — rsjaffe 🗣️ 05:20, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
