"WP:RFP" and "WP:RPP" redirect here. You may also be looking for Wikipedia:Requests for permissions, Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission, or Wikipedia:Random page patrol.
    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

    Current requests for protection

    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.

    Temporary full protection. Edit warring - my rough count makes it 13 reverts since the 26th November. This is despite an ongoing dispute resolution thread at WP:DRN#Flag of Western Sahara. Before protecting, I recommend reverting to the version before edit warring began, just for me to avoid accusations of gaming the system to favour the solution that I proposed in the DRN thread. — Mr. Stradivarius ♫ 21:57, 28 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – This article attracts ongoing spurts of vandalism.

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 20:55, 28 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Edit warring by IPs to revert to their preferred version while we've been discussing their edit for weeks in great detail on talk and RS notice board. Anon simply does not seem interested in discussion or consensus. . Tachfin (talk) 18:12, 28 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of a fortnight, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 20:53, 28 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    Indefinite semi-protect. Persistent high level of IP vandalism, with the same edits being made by a range of 58.178 IPs, ‎ 203.212.133.140 and 202.67.108.115. Admin Vianello has protected the page before, but this vandal immediately returns when protection is lifted. Disturbingly, what he keeps adding is an inaccurate, nonsensical edit that he "cites" with a link to some young woman's private Facebook page, and it appears distinctly stalkerish. --Tenebrae (talk) 18:08, 28 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    Already protected by administrator JaGa.. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 20:50, 28 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Ongoing problem with IP-hopping vandal inserting false information. It's been going on for a few months; for example [1].

    Semi-protected for a period of a month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 20:39, 28 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    Indefinite semi-protect. Persistent high level of IP vandalism and annoying editing. ChinnZ 15:44, 28 November 2011 (UTC)

    Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 20:37, 28 November 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.

    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.

    Teletubbies (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) It claims that this series and Dragon Tales are returning to PBS. However, there is no source to verify this. Can someone either remove this statement until sourced or at least tag it with citation needed? This is my first edit request, so I hope I did this right. 65.254.159.13 (talk) 17:17, 27 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
