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

Temporary semi-protection: IP vandalism – edit warring, and addition of misinformation. 122.150.118.203 (talk) 04:05, 18 June 2025 (UTC)
Reason: Unregistered user repeatedly making unnecessary and extreme changes without explanation or discussion on talk page. Tbf62 (talk) 23:00, 18 June 2025 (UTC)
Reason: Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement – WP:A/I/PIA. The page is within scope of the restrictions. Per the ArbCom remedies, only extended-confirmed editors should be able to edit the article. Sean.hoyland (talk) 00:51, 19 June 2025 (UTC)
Reason: Several ip users have been edit warring on this page and Ulaanzuukh culture for several days over a citation failing valification, today I asked them to stop and was promptly reverted with the message "You take it to the talk page. The verification is unambiguously failed by anyone who can read at 10th grade level (tough one for weakpedians)." [1] DervotNum4 (talk) 01:10, 19 June 2025 (UTC)
Reason: Indefinite semi-protection: IP or unregistered users repeatedly adding unnecessary changes without explanation or discussion on talk page – they keep vandalizes the page by editing the nonsensical names which they aren't official or related to the character of the series. SamuelLovesFilms (talk) 02:26, 19 June 2025 (UTC)

Reason: seeking temporary semi-protection because IP user repeated additions of undue content based on primary sources and blogs without looking for talk page consensus and uncivil edit summaries Czarking0 (talk) 02:27, 19 June 2025 (UTC)
Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Persistent recent disruptive changes to this company's name, logo, etc., from several repeat offenders against consensus, all while a pending contentious RM is underway.

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: The protection is no longer necessary because it was deleted back in 2018. Since 2018, Arishfa Khan has been featured in several mainstream Indian entertainment and lifestyle publications such as Times of India, Hindustan Times, India Today, and News18, covering her acting career, music video appearances, and social media influence.
- Do you have a draft on her, or are you just spouting off a bunch of outlet names as if they're supposed to mean something? —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 06:55, 19 June 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.
