    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.

    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

    Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lê Quang Khải

    Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Anon IPs are continually trying to close the AfD, in breach of WP:NACIP. LibStar (talk) 02:50, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Not done. Request was valid at the time, but the AfD has now been closed by an administrator, which should hopefully make this request moot. Please request again if disruption resumes. Sdrqaz (talk) 13:16, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Dmitry Medvedev

    Indefinite extended-confirmed protection: Contentious topic restriction. Supports Russia and has repeatedly condemned Ukraine. The Invasion and the war altogether are contentious topics. 🗽Freedoxm🗽(talk • contribs) 02:51, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Flow (2024 film)

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Persistent vandalism by multiple IP users. Areaseven (talk) 03:34, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    2026 Arizona gubernatorial election

    Reason: IP user continuously attempts to add an endorsement on the page cited to social media posts, in violation of WP:ENDORSE, which states that "lists of endorsements should only include endorsements which have been covered by reliable independent sources." Despite being told this over and over again, they refuse to listen. Here's a quote from their most recent edit summary: "WP:ENDORSE requires endorsements to be 'verifiable by reliable sources' but does not mandate that they be covered solely by independent sources." This was after I sent them the aforementioned quote. I feel like I'm bashing my head against the wall, I don't know how to reason with this person. Please do something about this because I'm afraid they're never going to stop. BottleOfChocolateMilk (talk) 03:35, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Mark Carney

    Semi-protection as he is being sworn in as Prime Minister of Canada on Friday and the page has already attracted IP vandalism. Wellington Bay (talk) 03:52, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    I think that this article should be extended-protected because of its notability ShallowC (talk) 15:10, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Reason: Frequent rate of vandalism, especially since it is currently featured in ITN. PrimalMustelid (talk) 03:54, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    March 2025 lunar eclipse

    Temporary semi-protection: There is a back and forth over what image should be used in the infobox. Since this just happened, semi protection temporarily would prevent constant image changing by IP addresses. Ktkvtsh (talk) 08:20, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Vandalism from numerous IPs. OpalYosutebito (talk) 13:00, 14 March 2025 (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 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.

    Template:2000s-rock-album-stub

    Indefinite semi-protection: At the time of the template being protected, there were over 1,000 transclusions. Now, there's only 20 or so throughout Wikipedia. Should it be un/semi-protected due to its decline in popularity?. OpalYosutebito (talk) 14:14, 14 March 2025 (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.
