Wikipedia:Requests for page protection
| 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

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing. Paul Vaurie (talk) 22:56, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- Automated comment: A request for protection/unprotection for one or more pages in this request was recently made, and was denied at some point within the last 8 days.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 22:57, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
Temporary pending changes: Persistent disruptive editing – An IP editor has repeatedly restored this disputed content to the article: A fan who sent a text message to Cetrone regarding the Snyder Cut's existence later posted a doctored screenshot of them, falsely claiming that Cetrone confirmed the Snyder Cut's existence.
It was originally removed by editor Dcdiehardfan for being not noteworthy [1], before being restored by the IP editor, at which point I removed it before the IP editor restored it multiple times, with increasing personal attacks in their edit summaries directed towards Dcdiehardfan: Yet another case of sourced references deleted without reason. User is a repeated remover using WP:IJUSTDONTLIKEIT logic.
[2]; Do you not see what section it was put in? It's factually relevant to everything the extremist fanbase did throughout. Hence why someone included it in the first place and (once again) it was incoherently removed by an obvious biased fanboy who has repeatedly/illogically removed anything negative related to the movie or Snyder bit by bit while laughably claiming "cleaned up".
[3]; It's not "two separate editors", one of them is a factually proven troll.
[4]. The IP editor has refused to engage in the talk page discussion, where a third editor, JascaDucato, has said they agree that the content is not noteworthy. In response to a warning about their personal attacks on the IP's talk page, they responded with "stop the disruptive defending" LOL Piss off you pathetic troll-defending hypocrite. I repeatedly/effortlessly exposed the weirdo fanboy blanking out sourced info over and over solely because it was negative towards the movie. Soooo disruptive.
Reporting all of you now. And stop stalking my edits, douche.
At this point, it doesn't seem like that the IP editor is going to be willing to engage in a discussion about the content on the article's talk page, and is rather going to try to edit war the content in despite three other editors disagreeing with its inclusion. – notwally (talk) 03:30, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
- TLDR: An IP editor has repeatedly restored content that three other editors disagree with, and is not willing to engage in the talk page discussion. – notwally (talk) 03:32, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

Current requests for reduction in 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
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.
