    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

    Reason: White washing pov edit warring by an IP Spartaz Humbug! 10:43, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Comment: As I pointed out in Talk, there have been a few bad faith edits that have been reverted, though some of the content was worthy of inclusion in the article, but not in the lead, per MOS:LEADBIO.--UrbanVillager (talk) 12:07, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Pancake house

    Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Persistent sock puppetry from someone changing the name of "Clark's pancake house" to "Phineas and Ferb's pancake house". Not only is it wrong, but they remain adamant in their "belief" that the wrong name is the right name... - OpalYosutebito 『talk』 『articles I want to eat』 12:01, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    2023 Indian wrestlers' protest

    Reason: This page is a little bit controversial and has a chance of IP vandalism and there is a risk of factual information being manipulated by biased and unreliable sources as previously done by some autonomous users . Rajasabh7788 (talk) 12:16, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Pages are not protected preemptively. No edits in 2025. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 01:44, 26 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Reason: Persistent disruptive editing from multiple IP addresses. JeffSpaceman (talk) 12:26, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    2024–25 Premier League

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Suggest protection until the end of May, after the season has finished and all the positions have been confirmed. Thanks. Spartathenian (talk) 12:32, 25 April 2025 (UTC).[reply]

    Enshittification

    Reason: Disruptive edit warring over notability template without any evidence to assert notability. Talk page discussion from the IP editor seems WP:NOTHERE. -1ctinus📝🗨 16:02, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Template:Armenian genocide

    Reason: Should be protected under Wikipedia:General_sanctions/Armenia_and_Azerbaijan - Politics, ethnic relations, and conflicts involving Armenia, Azerbaijan, or both—broadly construed and explicitly including the Armenian genocide—are placed under an extended confirmed restriction. Was recently vandalized by an editor to display a massive Turkish flag on the Memorial day for the Armenian Genocide - Such gross oversights should be prevented in the future, and the general sanction agrees. ⛿ WeaponizingArchitecture | yell at me 16:08, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Jimmy Carter

    Indefinite extended protection: Persistent Vandalism. And it is also pretty inconsistent that they say not to edit it if you are not extended confirmed, but yet it is not an extended confirmed article 54rt678 (talk | contribs) 20:28, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    User(s) blocked: Bananas1208 (talk · contribs) blocked by Joyous!. That was a single case four days ago. Parts of the article are under the extended-confirmed restriction, not the entire article. The Carter article is considered to have related content. Sdrqaz (talk) 03:47, 26 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    but there were also other users who also vandalized this article and I think that there are many users who are doing it.I think you need to reconsider and give it extended protected 54rt678 (talk | contribs) 04:39, 26 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    I mean the redirect "UK" RaschenTechner (talk) 21:19, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    FBG Duck

    Reason: Page was created not to long ago and already have vandalism and the person was connected to Gangster Disciple and had ongoing conflicts with Black Disciples and King Von which have page protection. I believe it should have one week of protection to see if it’s really needed. Momentoftrue (talk) 22:30, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    User(s) blocked: Yelover911 (talk · contribs) blocked by HJ Mitchell. That seems to cover the bad-faith disruption. Sdrqaz (talk) 03:57, 26 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Note: A blocked user and multiple IPs have persistently vandalized it. That's why I requested indefinite semi along with filing an WP:AIV report to block the former. 🗽Freedoxm🗽(talk · contribs) 03:14, 26 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    KCC Malls

    Temporary pending changes protection: Persistent sockpuppetry. Alshahid sahi was blocked for making repeated unsourced edits, many to add a specific name as owner[1], then they sockpuppeted as 143.44.184.235 to continue making the same edit[2], and now another puppet has appeared in Al-shahid s sahi with the same edit[3]. SPI investigation is here. fifteen thousand two hundred twenty four (talk) 05:47, 26 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Dorian invasion

    Reason: High level of edits to remove "discredited" from the lead, often by IP editors, sometimes claiming that it is unsourced. The statement is sourced both in body and lead, and consensus for it has been established. Could editing be restricted to registered users, who have a greater chance of having read e.g. MOS:LEAD?

    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.

    Chicken nugget

    Reason: Article was protected since 2012. The article doesn't have that much page views also. We can try to unprotect this one! 🍕BP!🍕 (🔔) 01:25, 26 April 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.
