    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.

    User talk:AlphaBetaGamma

    Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Talk page disruption returned after I resumed edits and anti-vandal activities. ABG (Talk/Report any mistakes here) 05:13, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined - not enough disruptive activity to warrant protecting a user talk page. The IP who made the single harassing edit since protection expired has already been blocked. If it resumes please feel free to ping me. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 18:18, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Aq Qoyunlu, Qara Qoyunlu and Uzun Hasan

    Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Non-stop IP/new user ethno-nationalistic disruption of sourced information and related to Falsification of history in Azerbaijan, been ongoing for years and years on end. HistoryofIran (talk) 11:49, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Template:Indian Premier League

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Various IPs continuously changing ACA-VDCA from Delhi to Hyderabad. See Revision history. 𝓥𝓮𝓼𝓽𝓻𝓲𝓪𝓷24𝓑𝓲𝓸 (ᴛᴀʟᴋ) 12:06, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    List of awards and nominations received by Kim Soo-hyun

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent Disruptive Editing. 98𝚃𝙸𝙶𝙴𝚁𝙸𝚄𝚂 • [𝚃𝙰𝙻𝙺] 12:17, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Adina Mosque

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Persistent unsourced additions from various IP addresses. Contentious topics issue - various Hindu nationalist groups claim that the mosque used to be a temple, likely explaining the persistent unsourced changes. Panian513 14:16, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    • Automated comment: One or more pages in this request appear to already be protected. Please confirm.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 18:47, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Semi-protected for a period of three months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. And logged at CTOPS. Daniel Case (talk) 18:50, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Israeli invasion of Rafah

    Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement. IanDBeacon (talk) 14:51, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined - the editors involved in this content dispute are extended-confirmed; protection would be meaningless. If edit warring continues, please report to arbitration enforcement. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 18:28, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Talk:Extreme Makeover: Home Edition

    Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Long term pattern of IPs using the talk page to request help from the show's producers, dating back to at least 2007, and as recently as April 2024.

    Examples, just from the newest page of revisions: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10]

    Considering that at least some of the examples provided also include new user accounts and not just IPs, I believe extended confirmed protection is a better choice here. GSK (talk • edits) 14:58, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Supreme Political Council

    Reason: Related to the Houthis, them being related to the Isreal-Hamas war, making it a contentious topic and being prone to vandalism. Blackmamba31248 (talk) 15:00, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. There is very little, if anything, in the article at present related to the war, so I don't think PIA covers it. Daniel Case (talk) 18:51, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Metro Boomin

    Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Constant addition of unsourced, potentially libellous nickname. ObserveOwl (chit-chat • my doings) 15:05, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of three months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected.. Will leave CTOPS notice on talk. Daniel Case (talk) 18:55, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Waldemar Haffkine

    Temporary pending changes: Persistent disruptive editing – There have been seven attempts by different IP addresses & newly registered editors over the last 1½ months to change Haffkine's nationality from Russian to Ukrainian. Ukraine was part of the Russian empire when Haffkine was born. That made him a Russian subject, whereas Ukrainian would be his ethnicity. See MOS:NATIONALITY & also WP:MODERNPLACENAME as that has been changed in at least one edit. Peaceray (talk) 15:10, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Pending-changes protected indefinitely. It's been going on like this for over a year. Daniel Case (talk) 19:01, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    KSL-TV

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Persistent disruptive editing. Mvcg66b3r (talk) 15:30, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Assassination attempts on Volodymyr Zelenskyy

    Reason: WP:GS/RUSUKR Ccole2006 (talk) 15:38, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. I am aware of the general sanctions, I am electing to follow the longstanding consensus of not protecting pages preemptively considering how little genuinely disruptive editing has occurred on this page. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 17:25, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Vishnu Sahasranama

    Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Persistent disruption – non-ECP account(s) repeatedly add a full text of a lengthy Hindu prayer in violation of WP:NOTFULLTEXT. Autoconfirmed protection doesn't help. The disruption has been ongoing already for a couple of years, and is unlikely to cease given the article subject, hence the request for indefinite protection. — kashmīrī TALK 16:40, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    User(s) blocked. User:Akd112358 has been blocked from editing the page for one month. The page is already semiprotected and pending changes protected as CTOPS actions; I don't want to tinker with it at this time. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 18:13, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Battle of Pavan Khind

    Reason: Continuous Disruptive editing by the user ImperialAficionado. The user keeps on deleting the sourced content [11], [12], [13]. Based Kashmiri (talk) 17:09, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    See the talk section. Please do not assume things that you don't know. "Disruptive". Imperial[AFCND] 17:12, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 17:21, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Trichromia phaeocrota

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Consistent & persistent vandalism. Golem08 (talk) 17:30, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    • 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 17:31, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    User(s) blocked. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 17:56, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Semi-protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Favonian (talk) 18:01, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Adolf Hitler: The Greatest Story Never Told

    Reason: All edits by non-autoconfirmed users are vandalism, and they make up all recent page history. It is a bit more spaced out than some other articles, but the article is still clearly a magnet for pro-Nazi vandalism. QuicoleJR (talk) 17:37, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Pending-changes protected for a period of 1 year, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 18:00, 7 May 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.

    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.
