Current requests for increase in protection level[edit]
Place requests for new or upgrading pending changes, semi-protection, full protection, move protection, create protection, template editor protection, or upload protection at the BOTTOM of this section. Check the archive of fulfilled and denied requests or, failing that, the page history if you cannot find your request. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.

Current requests for reduction in protection level[edit]
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.
Current requests for edits to a protected page[edit]
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.
Handled requests[edit]
A historical archive of previous protection requests can be found at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection/Archive.

User:Bugnawfang[edit]
Reason for requesting autowikibrowser rights Hi. I'm Bugnawfang. Lately, I have been editing on articles about some places in the Philippines. Recently, however, the Negros Island Region was created again after a law was signed by the president of the Philippines. Hence, there are 19 cities and 44 municipalities' pages that still have the old "Central Visayas (Region VII)" and "Western Visayas (Region VI)" region template tags. I am aware that my edits do not meet the threshold, but I do want to update these pages, and making edits one-by-one on these pages is tedious on its own. With this, I may request for the permission to use AWB to add the "Negros Island Region" template on these pages. Bugnawfang (talk) 13:33, 15 July 2024 (UTC) User:AirshipJungleman29[edit]

New page reviewer[edit]User:Extorc[edit]
I have more than 6000 edits as an editor over a time period of around 3 years. I have created several pages which I continue to maintain and have participated in processes like Request for moves and closures as well. Iv taken initiative in Anti-Vandalism work. I can help reduce the backlog. >>> Extorc.talk 14:00, 17 June 2024 (UTC) User:HRShami[edit]
I want to reduce the massive backlog. I have been looking at the new pages patrol feed sporadically for the past two months and the backlog keeps increasing. I want to play a part in reviewing the articles. HRShami (talk) 11:19, 21 June 2024 (UTC) User:Evilfreethinker[edit]

Requests for pending changes reviewer |

Pending changes reviewer[edit]User:RodRabelo7[edit]
I've been a rollbacker for some time now, and when I patrol the recent changes, it's not at all uncommon to come across pending revisions. Thus, I imagine that having the permission of a pending changes reviewer would help me in anti-vandalism activities and, even more, reduce the backlog and the work of other volunteers. Helping directly on Special:PendingChanges is also a possibility, of course. Thank you, RodRabelo7 (talk) 09:42, 16 July 2024 (UTC) User:Madeforall1[edit]
Im requesting pending changes reviewer rights because I wish to review some changes made by inexperienced users, I’ll be fully active and really want to get this right. Madeforall1 (talk) 10:14, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
User:Randomstaplers[edit]
I'm starting to review pages for copyvios, and, as a result, I'm starting to encounter reviewer-protected pages. (If the article on Rotten Tomatoes wasn't a backwards-copy, I might have been hosed.) In any case, I hope my experience across multiple Wikimedia projects demonstrates the competence needed for this permission. ⸺RandomStaplers 00:07, 17 July 2024 (UTC) User:Gabriel601[edit]

User:Apollogetticax[edit]
Hello! I have nearly a month of experience recent-changes patrolling. While on some days you may not see any, on other days (especially my first two weeks), I spend over 6 hours patrolling. I also have around (or over) 250 mainspace edits. I would like to have rollback to help me revert vandalism faster, and with the RC script, as it catches vandalism very quickly, but it requires rollback to revert the vandalism. So far I have to navigate diffs to reach the vandalism, and that takes too much time. Otherwise I use the old-school recent changes and use diffs, but it just as slow as the script. In both cases I use Twinkle, if you were wondering. I have experience with what is vandalism and what isn't, and I can tell what type of vandalism the edit is (if it is), and which warning to use and at which level. If you deny my request due to inexperience, I will understand. Apollogetticax|talk 23:03, 17 July 2024 (UTC) |

Template editor[edit]User:Jackdude101[edit]
I am heavily involved with editing route diagram templates and adding new items to template:rail-interchange, with a special focus on rail lines in France for the upcoming 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris starting later this month. I have made multiple edit requests there in the past, and very recently after refamiliarizing myself with the process, I've started to do it again. I would like the ability to edit that template directly so I don't have to rely on others to do it for me. Jackdude101 talk cont 07:46, 8 July 2024 (UTC) |
I am at about 70,000 edits aross all Wiki projects.

"Do you want to take a survey?"[edit]
On Feb. 12, 2005, I did a random pages survey. Out of 100 random pages, only 1 was a U.S. town. That's progress. Three towns in the UK, 1 in Spain and 1 in Portugal also turned up. Overall biographies were the largest category at 22%, followed by geography with 15% total. Then Lists at 7%, Disambiguation pages at 6%.
On Feb. 24, 2006, I repeated the 100 random page survey, this time getting 5 U.S. towns. Overall, geography had 26%, biography 21%, fiction 9%, music 4%, colleges 4%, lists 3% and disambigs 4%. Clearly geography and biography are our largest areas. Music, science and business scored less than I expected. Non-individual History was hardly discernable.
Even by Feb. 2005, 100 out of almost 500,000 was not statistically significant but was as much as I had patience for.

More recently 1,250 or so edits on 75.41.110.200 are apparently all mine. Apparently my new ID is 75.41.109.190. There are undoubtedly many others as the earliest history of many articles was not preserved by the software.
