    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.

    Death and funeral of Pope Francis

    Temporary pending changes protection: Persistent vandalism. Receiving good faith edits from IPs so keeping it pending. Parksfan1955 (talk) 20:19, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Likely collateral damage as one or several users who are making improvements would be affected by the requested protection. BusterD (talk) 18:37, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Vagrdyuy9

    Semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – The socks of Vagrdyuy9 are spamming it again, which had led to the article's protection earlier. HistoryofIran (talk) 09:40, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    La Liga

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Entranced98 (talk) 11:23, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Kneecap (band)

    Reason: The page has seen an increased level of vandalism and likely sockpuppet edits following Coachella and American media coverage. It would be best for the page moving forward to be locked for some time until the interest falls back off. Ruralexpat (talk) 13:25, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 21:54, 22 April 2025 (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 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.

    Template:Highland-geo-stub

    Indefinite semi-protection: There are far less transclusions on this template (under 200 as opposed to over 700). - OpalYosutebito 『talk』 『articles I want to eat』 12:51, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Unprotected. Per Wikipedia:High-risk templates § Criteria, as it has 180 transclusions. If it goes above the semi-protection threshold, the bot will take care of that. Sdrqaz (talk) 22:13, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Death and state funeral of Jimmy Carter

    Reason: Months have passed since his death and funeral, so request unprotection. ScarletViolet 13:27, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Unprotected (FYI BD2412). Based on this comment, the intention of this action (note the log summary) was to unprotect the page, not to extend the move protection to cover editing as well. Sdrqaz (talk) 22:13, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Devil

    Reason: Article was protected since 2008. The article doesn't have that much page views, unlike Satan. We can try to unprotect this one. 🍕BP!🍕 (🔔) 21:30, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Unprotected. Average of 1,100 views per day in 2025, in comparison to Susan Wojcicki's 2,000 (the last article I unprotected with a similar view count, which has been successful). This article has 762 watchers, so any vandalism should be removed quite swiftly, though I'll review a few months down the line. May need pending changes in the future. Sdrqaz (talk) 22:13, 22 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.
