    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.

    @Miminity and El C: less than an hour after page protection, User:Majak Mangar Majak Dhuol Adut created a WP:CFORK at Ramciel, Yirol East County. I've redirected it for now. Should I take this to WP:ANI, or can it be dealt with more swiftly here? Wikishovel (talk) 14:30, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Reason: Ips vandalism on the page changing film budget and boxoffice numbers. This is going on for some days now. RangersRus (talk) 17:29, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Madri, Pandu, Pandavas

    Reason: Recently I asked for protection of articles Kunti amd few others due to block evasion by User: NairaMahiHDPaakhiAadhya. Similarly, these pages are in constant vandal attack by sockpuppets and IPs of the same user. Banning the user doesn't help as they make similar disruptive edits using diff IPs and alt accounts.245CMR.•👥📜 17:42, 5 August 2024 (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 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.

    Reason: The protection is no longer necessary this article was protected because of sock puppet users but all those account has been blocked and this article needs update and improvement but editors can't do that because of extended confirmed protection.Travis Headache (talk) 12:50, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    @Anachronist: any thoughts on that? Lectonar (talk) 12:57, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Not unprotected – Please use an edit request to request specific changes to be made to the protected page. The disruption in the contribution history, as well as the hits in in the filter log, are too recent to consider reducing protection at this time. ~Anachronist (talk) 13:25, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Gaza genocide

    Reason: The page falsely claim 25,000 women/children deaths in Gaza, quoting sources from March/Febuary. In May 2024, UN had revised those numbers to 12,000, I have attached sources to my edit request in the discussion page.

    In response, one of the editors both deleted the discussion: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Gaza_genocide&diff=prev&oldid=1238760329 And changed the discussion privilages so even the discussion on editing of the page cannot be accessed.

    In my edit, I have attached UN official report. Sticking with false figures despite official reports is unethical, and I believe the right change was unproffessional, and stemmed from political objective. 87.71.190.23 (talk) 15:40, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Making an edit request with legal threats is not a sound strategy. We're not going to lift page protection from WP:ARBPIA articles any time soon. OhNoitsJamie Talk 16:05, 5 August 2024 (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.
