Wikipedia:Requests for page protection
 | This page has an administrative backlog that requires the attention of willing administrators. Please replace this notice with {{no admin backlog}} when the backlog is cleared. |
| 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 | ||

Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – One ip disrupting the article by adding unsourced and un-announced matches. Another ip disrupted by adding replacing names of coaching stuffs. The u23 team is a topic of discussion going on in Indian football community and thus such edits can be expected to occur in coming few weeks, a temporary page protection is needed.

Reason: Multiple IPs vandalizing the page. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 21:41, 20 May 2025 (UTC)
Reason: This draft article was recently moved to and from mainspace without authorization by user "Kyoto kimi", disrupting the review process. The same user (or someone claiming to be them) also contacted the subject off-wiki and attempted extortion via WhatsApp. A report has been filed with Wikimedia Trust & Safety, and evidence submitted.
I respectfully request temporary protection from further unauthorized page moves or disruption while this matter is being reviewed. Cinematic Quill (talk) 21:50, 20 May 2025 (UTC)

Current requests for reduction in 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: It is imformational and someone might discover something new 72.202.243.178 (talk) 20:40, 20 May 2025 (UTC)
- This argument makes zero sense. On a related note, the last time WP:TRYUNPROT was done on this particular article, it had to be reinstated just over three weeks later. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 00:10, 21 May 2025 (UTC)
Reason: Soy Isabel Zuleta, he intentado actualizar la información de mi Wikipedia sin éxito. Estaré atenta a su respuesta. IsabelZuleta (talk) 20:59, 20 May 2025 (UTC)
- Translation of the above: "I'm Isabel Zuleta. I've been trying to update my Wikipedia information without success. I'll be waiting for your response."
- Responce, in English: This page is not protected on the English-language Wikipedia. Administrators here can do nothing for pages on the Spanish-language Wikipedia.
- @IsabelZuleta: Responce, in Spanish [automated translation]: Esta página no está protegida en la Wikipedia en inglés. Los administradores de este proyecto no pueden hacer nada con las páginas de la Wikipedia en español. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 00:09, 21 May 2025 (UTC)
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.
Add "#REDIRECT Niggas in Paris" {{R from incorrect name}} Easternsahara (talk) 16:25, 18 May 2025 (UTC)
- As a note, this will require an administrator as the title is blacklisted. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 17:18, 18 May 2025 (UTC)
- Is there any evidence this song is referred to in the singular? * Pppery * it has begun... 21:16, 18 May 2025 (UTC)
