    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 remove obvious vandalism.


    Request addition of protection to a page, or increasing the current protection level

    Request removal of protection from a page, or reducing the current protection level

    Request a specific edit be made to a protected page
    Please add an edit request to the talk page of the protected page before adding an edit request here


    Current requests for increase in protection level

    Place requests for protection increases at the BOTTOM of this section. If you cannot find your request, check the archive of requests or the page history. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.

    Sprout (TV network)

    Temporary semi-protection: The kids TV network IP vandals were using Universal Kids to dump unsourced shows and schedules on that article even though it's not on the air until September 9 and has literally nothing about it; that's already been protected until Labor Day, but then was rightfully redirected because we have little to nothing about the new channel. Thus, they've moved on to Sprout, which UK is replacing with the same detritus and low-quality sources, thus I'm asking for three months there too to save our sanity during the US summer break.

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Lectonar (talk) 19:53, 14 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    2017 FIA Formula 2 Championship

    Temporary semi-protection: ongoing vandalism from anonymous IP address after sister article 2017 GP3 Series was semi-protected because of their actions (I would report them, but I don't know how to report IP vandals). Prisonermonkeys (talk) 00:24, 14 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Southern Poverty Law Center

    Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – more edit warring. – S. Rich (talk) 03:41, 14 May 2017 (UTC) NOTE: I've posted an {{inuse}} template, but would like the RPP to go into effect immediately. Just remove the template when protecting. Thanks. 04:05, 14 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Jeez, in looking at the recent Talk:Southern Poverty Law Center posts, it looks like multiple issues are in contention. Please protect for a couple of weeks. Thanks again. – S. Rich (talk) 04:12, 14 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm done for now with my "inuse" template. Please lock down now so that discussion can ensue. – S. Rich (talk) 06:04, 14 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Republic of East Florida

    Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – User Carlstak has showed extreme bias against the Republic of East Florida. Simply see his last edit and our conversation on the talk page. He doesn't want to "dignify" this nation with a country info bar. WHY!? He is being discriminatory. He will only edit this page if he is putting it down, usually by claiming it was not a real country, discussing slavery, or saying that no one wanted to even rebel against Spain... despite almost ALL of Spain's colonies rebelling within the next two decades!.

    Current requests for reduction in protection level

    Shortcuts

    Before posting a request for unprotection, please discuss it with the protecting administrator first. You can create a request below only if you receive no response from them.

    To find out which administrator protected the page, go to the page's edit history and click on the "View logs for this page" link (located underneath the page's title). The protecting administrator is listed in the protection log entry, next to the words "protected", "changed protection level", or "configured pending changes". If there are a large number of log entries on the page, use the drop-down menu near the top of the page and select "Protection log" or "Pending changes log" to filter the logs accordingly.

    DO NOT request a reduction in protection if...

    • ...you are being prevented from editing the page. A desire to change content is not a valid reason for unprotection. Instead:
      • If you can edit the article's talk page, use the WP:Edit Request Wizard to propose a change on the article's talk page. Include an explanation of the exact content that you want to change, and what the content will be afterward.
      • If the article's talk page is protected, you may propose a change at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection/Edit.
    • ...your reasoning for reducing protection is that the article has not been vandalized. That simply means the protection is working as intended.
    • ...your reasoning for reducing protection is basically "a long time has passed" without supporting details.
    • ...you haven't contacted the protecting administrator.

    You may request a protection reduction below if...

    • ...you want to change the protection level of a template or module from full protection to template protection. You may add the request to this page without having to discuss it with the protecting administrator first.
    • ...you need to remove creation protection from a location where no page exists (redlinked pages) after a draft version of the intended article is prepared beforehand and ready to be published.
    • ...you are proposing a trial reduction in protection for a page that has been protected for several years, provided the proposal is supported by evidence such as talk page activity, page views, page traffic, number of watchers, frequency of edit requests, and prior history of vandalism.
    • ...the protecting administrator is inactive or has not responded to you in several days.

    If you cannot locate your request, make sure to check the request archives to see if it's been moved there. Only requests that have been recently answered will still be listed here.

    SahBabii

    Please unprotect SahBabii. He is now notable and I have prepared a draft. He is signed to Warner Brothers Records, on the Billboard charts, write up in NY Times and in radio rotation all over the world. Your help in this matter is greatly appreciated.Kimber0316 (talk) 18:41, 11 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    I take it you would like Draft:SahBabii unprotected. @RHaworth:, the protecting admin. And I think this should go to WP:Refund, as there are several problems here which are beyond the scope of unprotection Lectonar (talk) 17:44, 12 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    @Lectonar: Isn't this yet another sock of OfficialPankajPatidar? --NeilN talk to me 09:12, 14 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    @NeilN: Of course it is possible, but after reading the op's talk-page and their help-desk query, I agfed. That's why I pinged RHaworth; I see no problem in lifting the protection of the draft-page. The article is another problem, as the title is blacklisted.

    Current requests for edits to a protected page

    Further information: Wikipedia:Edit requests
    Shortcut

    Requests for specific edits should be made on the talk page of the protected article. You can create an edit request below only if the talk page is also protected, preventing you from adding a request there.

    Otherwise, this is the correct place to use in order to add an edit request if you are unable to add one to the article's talk page. Please see the top of this page for instructions on how to properly add a request.
