    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.

    Toofan (2024 film)

    Reason: It was protected for several days to counter vandalism and unhelpful edits. After the protection period ip edits started again. Mehedi Abedin 10:50, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Warn the user appropriately then report them to AIV or ANI if they continue. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 21:28, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Kalaripayattu

    Reason: Page was recently given semi-protection for a month due to persistent disruptive edits and vandalism. Page protection was removed not long ago, and there has been large scale disruptive editing by anonymous and newly made accounts. About two months ago, the page was given semi-protection for a month, but since the page has had an increase in disruptive editing from anonymous IPs and new accounts since the protection was removed, I would like to request extended confirmed or at least semi-protection for 6 months. Kalariwarrior (talk) 11:46, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of three months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Will also leave CTOPS notice on talk page. Daniel Case (talk) 01:27, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Talk:Dadvan Yousuf

    Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Persistent disruptive editing by IPs, likely sock or meatpupperty. The article itself is already EC protected for the same issue. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 14:33, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. I'm not seeing many reverted edits, the best sign of talk page disruption. Daniel Case (talk) 02:21, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Maldives

    Temporary extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement – Fighting over a recently added WP:ARBPIA statement under Maldives#History. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 15:11, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of one month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. I'm not making this a CTOPS protection since it's just that one aspect, (and anyway Israel-Maldives relations, more on this point, has already been ECP'ed indefinitely. If Visa policy of the Maldives is created in response to this, it too should be ECP'ed). We'll see how this goes after a month. Daniel Case (talk) 01:33, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    2024 in California

    Reason: Frequent vandalism. elijahpepe@wikipedia (he/him) 17:39, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of one year, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Will log at CTOPS, as I did when protecting this article last year. Daniel Case (talk) 01:37, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Unbreak My Heart (TV series)

    Reason: Persistent Unreferenced edits from IP users. Hotwiki (talk) 17:43, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected indefinitely. Daniel Case (talk) 01:53, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Mirza Tahir Ahmad

    Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Persistent vandalism with no chance of subsiding – the subject was a leader of a breakaway sect in Islam considered heretic by mainstream Islam. Hate speech and derogatory comments are added by IP editors every couple of weeks since its 3-year protection period ended in December. Needs renewed protection now – I strongly recommend indefinite protection (which of course doesn't mean infinite), much like with Mirza Ghulam Ahmad. — kashmīrī TALK 17:53, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    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.

    Indefinite pending changes protection: Testing whether long-term protection is still needed. Article was extended protected in July 2023 due to persistent sock puppetry, with the summary indicating this was intended to be temporary. I think it's worth trying a less restrictive form of protection to see if this is still necessary. Adam Black talk • contribs 00:07, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I hadn't seen Before posting, first discuss with the protecting admin at their talk page. Post below only if you receive no reply.

    It's possible it's due to the protection being levied to replace PC after the "trial" ended in 2010. Articles on PC at that time were set to indef semi. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 01:27, 4 June 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.

    I would like to request that... (the map be updated to show that Israel now controls the entire Gaza-Egypt border) . LordOfWalruses (talk) 15:25, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    @LordOfWalruses this is not the place. Contentious topics should not be unprotected. 48JCLTALK 12:42, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    The talk page Talk:Israel-Hamas War is protected, therefore edit requests by non-extended-confirmed users land here. That is acceptable, and this request made above is reasonable.

    This request was never intended to be taken seriously. The text is so patently polemic it's intentional to try and paint Wikipedia as dominated by liberalists. Honestly, the user should be given an AP2 warning, because I do not genuinely think they're dispassionate enough to edit in the topic area, assuming they're even interested in editing in good faith at all.
