Wikipedia:Requests for page protection
Welcome—request protection of a page, file, or template here. | ||
---|---|---|
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 |

Kingswood College, Kandy
Reason: Please block or warn the user (Viru96) or protect the page. He keeps vandalising the page over and over. Try to contact the user many times to stop it but not reply and keep doing it. IDB.S (talk) 05:34, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

- Automated comment: A request for protection/unprotection for one or more pages in this request was recently made, and was denied at some point within the last 8 days.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 10:21, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
Astolfo
Reason: Edit war over the 'In modern times' section - one user has continuously tried to remove this section over the last four months due to not believing there is not enough of a connection between the "Matter of France" character and a character from the Fate series based on him. Despite numerous reverts, and a precedence set by other fictional characters including their Fate depictions in their pages (for example, Lancelot, Medea) the user keeps deleting the section.

Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. Protection won't be of much help here. Lectonar (talk) 13:12, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Nina Power
Reason: High level of IP vandalism. Previously had the page protected for a similar reason when blocking the IP vandal didnt work. Seems the troll just waited until protection expired. Bluethricecreamman (talk) 14:24, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
- Automated comment: @Bluethricecreamman: This request cannot be parsed. Please ensure it follows formatting consistent with the current or previous methods of submission.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 14:37, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
Floriano Peixoto
Reason: IP sockmaster is making contested edits to multiple articles, refusing to discuss on talk pages, and persisting in edit warring. He has been blocked 3 times this month and he did block evasion over and over. At this point, I request a few months of IP protection to safeguard the article from potential vandalism.

MTV Splitsvilla season 15
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – IP editors repeatedly adding winners despite multipe reverts / warnings. It's coming from a variety, so semi-protection is probably the best option. Ravensfire (talk) 15:21, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
Current requests for reduction in protection level
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
Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here
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.
Kalki 2898 AD
Change the box office from "815 cr' to 950 cr. Venkatesh29 (talk) 10:58, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
Not done – Your request is not backed by any kind of reliable source. At any rate, Wkipedia is not a news ticker; it's not here to give up-to-the-minute cricket scores, stock prices or box office takings.
