    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 unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level

    Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here

    Semi-protect. Continued High level of IP vandalism, page has been protected before as soon as protection comes off vandalism and excessive IP vandals return. Lots of un-sourced information also being input which creates more work for others. Request another 30 day semi-protect with consideration for possibly longer. 0pen$0urce (talk) 14:59, 29 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary Semi-protect. High level of IP vandalism - all appearing to be the same user however when banned they simply return with a different IP MattKitty (talk) 13:52, 29 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

      Semi-protected for a period of 3 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Qwyrxian (talk) 14:59, 29 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Too much vandalism over a long period of time; I've hesitated to come to RPP again, but here I am; do protect for an extended period of time if possible, since the vandalism is persistent over a long period of time. Lynch7 07:13, 29 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

      Semi-protected indefinitely. After looking at the protection log, I don't see any reason to make this protection of finite duration. At some point in the far future, if someone thinks that there hasn't been a lot of problems on the talk page, unprotection can be tried, but to me it doesn't make sense to protect for another year, then let people suffer through a month of IP disruption, just to reprotect it again.

    User talk:68.173.113.106/Archived posts/December 2011 (edit | user page | history | links | watch | logs)

    Full protection except for editing by 68.173.113.106: This is an archive of old messages to me, as of 1 December 2011. These messages should not be touched in any way. Cheers, The Doctahedron, 16:16, 27 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

      Question: It is impossible to lock pages so that only one user can edit them. I can, however, protect it so only administrators can edit it (which they won't). Is that what you want? Reaper Eternal (talk) 16:47, 27 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      Declined Semi or full protection would both prevent 68.173.113.106 from editing their own page, which is pointless Jac16888 Talk 15:03, 29 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      Question: Why do I care if I can't edit the page? They're old topics, and no one, not even me or any admin, should touch them. If I wanted them deleted, I wouldn't have created the page in the first place. But I'm worried that deleting talk page messages might be an infraction of a WikiPolicy that I don't know about, resulting in my being banned for no reason. So please reconsider protecting this page. Cheers, The Doctahedron, 16:36, 29 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    Current requests for unprotection

    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.

    Unprotection: No significant vandalism while on pending changes, has some references now and so unprotection seems worth a try, protecting admin seems fairly busy so I didn't want to bother him. -- Eraserhead1 <talk> 11:24, 29 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    Current requests for edits to a protected page

    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.
