    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.

    Trade Republic

    Reason: Stop IP edits made to add false information helping scammers impersonate the brand 147.161.234.174 (talk) 08:25, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Oasis Leisure Centre

    Temporary semi-protection: Three IPs edit-warring to say that a building protection order was "thanks to pressure from Save Oasis Swindon", with no source for that. 82.30.50.220 and Nmrobinson007 have both identified themselves as having COI connections to the group, and been advised not to edit the article directly. Belbury (talk) 16:47, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Template:KillMarkers

    Template protection: High-risk template – Used by Strip tags, which is fully protected. — GhostInTheMachine talk to me 18:39, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Safi Rauf

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – In the past couple weeks, 5 established editors (myself included) have had to remove disruptive edits from multiple new accounts and IPs. Two new SPAs have been identified as sockpuppets and blocked already. Disruptive edits have been focused on removing well-sourced accusations of misconduct from the subject's page. The article should be protected temporarily to mitigate the issue. —Ganesha811 (talk) 22:45, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Mau Mau rebellion

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – There's an IP changing editor that keeps changing the outcome. Perhaps a temporary edit protection makes it clear this won't work. soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 07:14, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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

    Indefinite full creation protection: Because 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.

    Reason: High level of IPs disruptive edits. Jingiby (talk) 11:26, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    ATACMS

    Reason: The article was protected for WP:EW. A discussion was open in the talk page to try to see if a consensus was possible. However, just like before, as soon as the protection was over, the article was edit by the person engaged in the previous EW. Despite having it's multiple IPs blocked, the problem persists. No discussion will be able to go forward as long as the WP:status quo of the page is respected and the IP has shown no interest in respect it or the consensus policy.

    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]

    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.
