Welcome—request protection of a page, file, or template here.

Shortcuts WP:RFPP WP:RFP WP:RPP 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. Skip to table of contents requests to raise protection lower protection requested edits (purge) Request protection of a page, or increasing the protection level Request protection Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level Request unprotection Request a specific edit to a protected page Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here Request edit

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – High degrees of sock puppetry and IP vandalism from blocked user. — Czello ^(music) 06:55, 19 June 2024 (UTC)

Lowell High School (San Francisco)

• Lowell High School (San Francisco) (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Two IPs (3 edits) insist on placing new principal's name before old's resignation takes effect June 30th. Suggest protection until July 1. Dhtwiki (talk) 07:41, 19 June 2024 (UTC)

Second inauguration of Nayib Bukele

• Second inauguration of Nayib Bukele (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Temporary extended confirmed protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Per my previous request, the admin who rejected it did not understand it. An autoconfirmed sock just pulled the same bullshit their other socks have been doing. There is very little room for improvement in a redirect, so we should just stop the sockpuppetry now. Air on White (talk) 08:15, 19 June 2024 (UTC)

Temporary extended confirmed protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Persistent sockpuppetry by WP:BE banned user Orchomen (long term abuse). Following bans of accounts, using IP sockpuppetry. This is one of their go-to pages. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 12:45, 19 June 2024 (UTC)

Mamitha Baiju

• Mamitha Baiju (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Reason: A user and their IPv6 WP:LOUTSOCK repeatedly adding their own name to the article (and making other unsourced changes to this BLP). 81.187.192.168 (talk) 13:16, 19 June 2024 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Persistent vandalism by anon IPs and new accounts (probably socks). LibStar (talk) 14:46, 19 June 2024 (UTC)

Anantheshwara Temple, Udupi

• Anantheshwara Temple, Udupi (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Some random people are coming and vandalising the content on the page. This page need page protection. MRRaja001 ^(talk) 16:40, 19 June 2024 (UTC)

Balika Vadhu (TV Series)

• Balika Vadhu (TV Series) (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Reason: This redirect to Balika Vadhu has been recreated into an article three times in the past week by IP editors, making it a near duplicate to the article about the television series. Aspects (talk) 16:55, 19 June 2024 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Sdrqaz (talk) 22:40, 19 June 2024 (UTC)

Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – Ip keeps changing the infobox image without discussion or consensus. See user talk and tribs'. - FlightTime (open channel) 17:25, 19 June 2024 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 20:43, 19 June 2024 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. User:Namiba 18:48, 19 June 2024 (UTC)reply

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. @Namiba: Unsourced edits appear to be an issue, but I only see a single user talk page notice about that issue for any of the IP editors touching this article in 2024. And there are no warnings for vandalism. I've warned the editor who vandalized the article today. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 21:39, 19 June 2024 (UTC)reply

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Persistent silly vandalism by puerile IP. DuncanHill (talk) 22:09, 19 June 2024 (UTC)reply

Yasuke

• Yasuke (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Reason: High amount of contentious editing, lots of potential to be brigaded and have inflammatory text considering the unusual topic of the article. Yasuke, a black retainer in medieval Japan was one of the only black men in the country, and him being featured in the new Assassins Creed has led to lots of back and forth, as can be viewed in the page history. I'd request at least a semi-protection, and if some admin deems it necessary, an extended confirmed would be great. daruda (talk) 22:31, 19 June 2024 (UTC)reply

Fleetwood Mac

• Fleetwood Mac (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Reason: Edit war going on regarding if the group is still active or not. Lots of back and forth editing. Urbanracer34 (talk) 22:40, 19 June 2024 (UTC)reply

MOS:LEAD

• MOS:LEAD (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Reason: There is basically no reason this should be edited, ever, and breaking this redirect is highly disruptive. Although IP vandalism is infrequent, it comprises all edits since January 2021. Requesting semi-protection. Toadspike Talk 22:59, 19 June 2024 (UTC)reply

Khatumo State

• Khatumo State (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Reason: A lot of IP vandalism in the past month. Wowzers122 (talk) 23:06, 19 June 2024 (UTC)reply

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.

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.

A historical archive of previous protection requests can be found at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection/Archive.
