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 | ||

Manorathangal
Reason: May require creation protection. There's a draft. Moving without much improvement. At one point, an editor entirely copy-pasted the body of another related article to appear developed. Additionally, since it is nearing release on August 15, there are chances for more editors to create separate articles, or with its alternate title Mindscapes. 117.230.90.248 (talk) 11:54, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. I don't think there was disruption enough to justify proteciton at the moment, but I've added the article to my watchlist. Isabelle Belato 🏳🌈 12:35, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
2024 Bangladesh quota reform movement
Reason: The article is about a recent ongoing event in Bangladesh and many editing is happening on the page. There is a possibility of disruptive edits there soon. To prevent any potential and possible rumor or unreliable information from the page it needs to be protected because of the deaths and injuries happened around the movement and also, political controversies. Mehedi Abedin 12:15, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
Shiju Abdul Rasheed
Reason: Photos were removed and also unwanted links were added.. please provide protection to this page Ormakalil (talk) 12:18, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
- Declined: the reason a photo was removed is because it was deleted at Commons, see c:Commons:Deletion requests/File:Shiju Abdul Rasheed in 2013.jpg for more information. I also don't see any recent disruptive activity. Isabelle Belato 🏳🌈 12:40, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
2026 FIFA World Cup qualification (CAF)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Jalen Folf (Bark[s]) 12:30, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
Semi-protected for a period of 4 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Isabelle Belato 🏳🌈 12:42, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
Morea revolt of 1453–1454
Reason: IP continues disrupting the article RoyalHeritageAlb (talk) 13:12, 16 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 13:23, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
Dread (forum)
Reason: IP users are replacing this site's URL with a link facilitating phishing, and the page does not have the attention it needs to keep those reverted.
Correct secondary mirror URL for this site is: g66ol3eb5ujdckzqqfmjsbpdjufmjd5nsgdipvxmsh7rckzlhywlzlqd.onion
Phishing link inserted by the IP user is: g66ol3eb5ujdckzqqfmjsbpdjufmjd5nsgdipvxmsh7rckzlhywlzlsexbi.onion
(bolded characters highlight the difference between the URLs)
In the interest of protecting users from phishing, please consider protecting this page to prevent these attempts at phishing by IP users. Melmann 13:44, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
- Pending-changes protected indefinitely. Isabelle Belato 🏳🌈 14:00, 16 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.
Attempted assassination of Donald Trump
The Investigation section should be removed because it duplicates the Perpetrator section 61.69.211.5 (talk) 06:36, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
Not done. The investigation is broader than the investigation of the perpetrator. Also, this request is not specific enough to complete. There is further guidance at Wikipedia:Edit requests. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 11:26, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
Israeli invasion of the Gaza Strip (2023–present)
change the injury toll suggested by gaza health ministry to 79,261 as stated in cited article ConnorThomasHogan (talk) 09:12, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
- Not done. Talk:Israeli invasion of the Gaza Strip is not protected. Please request an edit directly on that page. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 11:29, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
Thomas Matthew Crooks
In the assassination section, it says that he tried to assassinate him on July 14 though he died on July 13 Bebo12321 (talk) 23:02, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
- I think you misread the first sentence of the assassination attempt section, as "On July 14, 2024, the FBI identified Crooks as the shooter behind the attempted assassination of Donald Trump the previous day." The attempt was on the 13th, he was identified on the 14th. XCBRO172 (talk) 02:42, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
- Not done for the reason explained by XCBRO172 above. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 11:31, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
