    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

    Narayana

    Reason: Request for "extended confirmed protection" for atleast a year. Continuous vandalism everyday by a sockpuppet from months. Hbanm (talk) 13:44, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Extended confirmed protected indefinitely. Logged as enforcement for WP:CT/IPA. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 19:47, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Thitinart Na Pattalung

    Reason: someone try to change the name of Ddnar 49.237.23.126 (talk) 13:57, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 19:43, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    List of Indian films of 2024

    Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – just after being unprotected, the page (now linked on the frontpage) has become an endless magnet for IP vandalism. ser! (chat to me - see my edits) 14:18, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 3 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 19:38, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Jannik Sinner

    Reason: Every time the months-long semi-protection gets lifted, the same single-purpose edit-warrior returns sooner or later (this time it took him 3 weeks). Today's disruptive edits by 151.60.221.121 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) and 37.103.224.114 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) are the latest iterations of the "contributions" by Alebir (talk · contribs), 151.60.177.126 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) and 151.60.187.14 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) (all of them have in common that they target the exact same pieces of sourced information and need multiple edits to remove them), for further details see

    Semi-protected for a period of 1 year, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 19:35, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Justin Trudeau

    Full protection. Reason: High level of IP vandalism regarding his resignation.GardenCosmos (talk) 15:01, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. @GardenCosmos: The article is already ECP which disallows editing from IP addresses and new accounts. Full protection is not used for IP vandalism. Please read WP:PP. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 19:31, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Kodikaal Vellalar

    Reason: High level of vandalism. Minakshi Pillai (talk) 15:46, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    2025 Canadian federal election

    Reason: Beginnings of high level of inaccurate edits by anonymous editors, either rumour or vandalism, having to do with Trudeau's resignation; it will get worse G. Timothy Walton (talk) 16:25, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 19:28, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Liberal Party of Canada

    Reason: Editors are editing in that he's no longer leader of the Liberal Party. Trudeau is in fact leader, until his party chooses a successor, which hasn't happened yet. GoodDay (talk) 16:49, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse

    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.

    Module:Infobox dim/sandbox/data

    Unprotection: sandbox was mistakenly used by main module. Please unprotect. — hike395 (talk) 15:21, 6 January 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.

    Gaza genocide

    Genocide Watch states that: „A genocide of the Palestinian people by Israel is underway in Gaza. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister General Yoav Gallant have demonstrated their intent to destroy a substantial portion of the civilian population of Gaza. Israel is committing war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide in Gaza. It is also committing crimes against humanity against Palestinians in the West Bank.” See https://www.genocidewatch.com/single-post/genocide-emergency-gaza-and-the-west-bank-2024 This information should be added to first paragraph of Gaza_genocide#NGOs_and_intergovernmental_organisations Jakub Onderka (talk) 21:59, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
