They haven't edited in the last 6 months. PhilKnight (talk) 20:31, 1 January 2026 (UTC)
I know, but the purpose of restrictions is preventive, not punitive. The account was created spammed in May 2022, came back to spam again in July 2023, took a break and came back only to spam again in July 2025. So I feel this is a good indication of where it's going. It's a spam only account from one of the spam farms. They've not made a single non-spam edit. Graywalls (talk) 20:38, 1 January 2026 (UTC)
No vandalism since final warning. Re-report if this user resumes vandalising. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 20:42, 1 January 2026 (UTC)

Requests for page protection


Current requests for increase in protection level

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

Reason: Add semi-protection please (blocks edits from IPs/new accounts). At least 5 IP vandalism edits in the recent past. Thanks. TudorTulok (talk) 16:29, 1 January 2026 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – TAs repeatedly adding "framing device" text to plot summary despite no consensus at Talk page favoring inclusion. DonIago (talk) 16:36, 1 January 2026 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – Persistent disruptive unsourced and poorly sourced additions from anons. Trailblazer101🔥 (discuss · contribs) 18:30, 1 January 2026 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 1 year, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Yue🌙 (talk) 22:00, 1 January 2026 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Previous protection expired but the issue has returned and appears to be different users still. Traumnovelle (talk) 19:30, 1 January 2026 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 3 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. - Semi-protected again for 3 months due to ongoing editing. If some subsequent consensus forms resolving the dispute, any uninvolved admin may remove the protection without informing me. - jc37 21:20, 1 January 2026 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Sockpuppets have been vandalizing the page repeatedly. Noah, BSBATalk 19:45, 1 January 2026 (UTC)

Extended confirmed protected for a period of 3 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Yue🌙 (talk) 20:42, 1 January 2026 (UTC)

Reason: Anonymous IP that keeps add unsourced material. DrKilleMoff (talk) 20:08, 1 January 2026 (UTC)

Temporary extended confirmed protection: BLP policy violations. Launchballer 20:39, 1 January 2026 (UTC)

I agree. I'd either like that, or a permanent semi-protection, due to her being such a big topic. People being people on the internet however, they'll definitely vandalize her page. I mean the way she got famous is one of a kind, and she's part of OnlyFans so there's bound to be vandalism.
Or at least a permanent pending changes-protection.
Thanks! DetectiveClarinet15 (talk) 21:50, 1 January 2026 (UTC)
Semi-protected indefinitely. I don't think extended confirmed is needed because semi-protection should keep out most if not all of the users making BLP policy violations. I don't see any productive edits from TAs or new users in the past year, and I don't think pending changes is the right choice because her current occupation attracts the kind of vandalism that would usually be redacted. Yue🌙 (talk) 21:55, 1 January 2026 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Indefinite protection seems necessary as there seems to be a user utilizing different accounts top persistently insert content without proper sources. See also the talk page, where there have been requests for the content to be added back without any rationale or sources. BlockArranger (talk) 20:48, 1 January 2026 (UTC)

Temporary protection: Repeated addition of unsourced / OR by multiple anons. Adakiko (talk) 21:58, 1 January 2026 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 3 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Possible socking; re-request and note that if the disruptive edits resume after the protection ends. Yue🌙 (talk) 22:04, 1 January 2026 (UTC)

Current requests for reduction in protection level

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

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.

Current requests for edits to a protected page

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

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.


Change the reported number of killed in the Gaza Strip from 70,668 to 70,654. The source cited for the existing 70,668 number actually says 70,654. Change the reported number of wounded in the Gaza Strip from 171,152+ to 171,095. The source cited for the existing 171,152+ number actually says 171,095.

Requests for autopatrolled

Autopatrolled

I have been editing since 2020 and have over 60 articles. Since November, I have created over 17+ clean pages (see [[1]]) and helped get JM Ibarra to Good Article status. I also recently expanded six drafts by other users that were accepted through AfC. I know I had two articles that were nominated for deletion back in November, but I know better now, so I've been super careful when creating articles since then. Given my current volume of work, I think having autopatrolled rights would really help save the New Page Patrol team some time. ACROM12 [TALK] 02:04, 31 December 2025 (UTC)

{{done}} voorts (talk/contributions) 04:03, 31 December 2025 (UTC)
@Voorts [2] and their other requests at WP:PERM might be of interest to you, they seem to be hatcollecting + using AI in a undisclosed manner in some their comments. With this context, I'm unsure/going to oppose giving them AP (which allows them to fly beneath the radar of NPP) especially in the context of their recent (imo) AI-gen AFCH access request. Sohom (talk) 09:47, 31 December 2025 (UTC)
@Sohom Datta: I reviewed their article creations and didn't see any glaring issues, which is why I granted AP. I was unaware of the other PERM requests. I'm going to be unavailable today so you can revoke AP if you want or start a discussion at AN about it to seek community input. voorts (talk/contributions) 13:30, 31 December 2025 (UTC)

Requests for AutoWikiBrowser access

AutoWikiBrowser

I would like to work on automatically clearing some of the almost 50k Category:Pages using infobox musical artist with associated acts backlog. Specifically, there are many pages that have the "associated acts" parameter listed, but no value set. I would like to build a regex that finds these instances and removes the deprecated parameter, reducing the backlog to only those pages where a value is specified and actually require editor intervention.

If it matters, I have a computer science degree and have worked in software development for 20+ years.  ⚙️ WidgetKid 🙈🙉🙊  05:32, 30 December 2025 (UTC)

 Not done, as @Destinyokhiria said, this role explicitly calls for a very good understanding of Wikipedia policies like the notability criteria, I see very little engagement with that side of the project, that coupled with your short tenure makes me lean towards to not granting the right at this time. I do see good work from you and you can follow the advice given above and apply again once you've participated in more notability-oriented parts of the project.

I would like to request New Page Reviewer right. I have been editing Wikipedia for a long time and have gained experience in creating, improving, and maintaining articles across different topics. Over time, I have developed a solid understanding of core Wikipedia policies, including notability (WP:N), verifiability (WP:V), and the use of reliable sources (WP:RS) and I would like to help reduce the New Pages Patrol backlog by reviewing new articles carefully, identifying issues early, and supporting new editors with constructive feedback where needed. I believe I can make a positive contribution to the NPR team. Moly Roy (talk) 16:53, 31 December 2025 (UTC)

Rollback

Reason for requesting rollback rights: I have been quite active in the recent changes patrol recently, and I've been quite successful. I've notified editors after almost every revert I've made. I'd like rollback permissions to be able to use tools like AntiVandal so I can apply my anti-vandalism skills fairly but efficiently. Framl (talk) 21:46, 24 December 2025 (UTC)

 Not done Five reports to WP:AIV indicates you're not doing countervandalism work, which is what the rollback tool is for. You may be reverting vandalism, but you're not reporting it. Add the reporting, and with a good track record, we'll reconsider in 30 to 45 days. Katietalk 17:45, 29 December 2025 (UTC)

Hi! I have lots of experience patrolling Recent Changes. I always warn editors when reverting their edits, vandalistic or not. I have ~7000 edits and am already an AFC/NPP and pending changes reviewer. I would like rollback to use more advanced tools like AntiVandal which require rollback when doing recent changes patrolling. If you reply here, please ping me. Thanks, thetechie@enwiki:~$ she/they | talk | contributions 02:14, 28 December 2025 (UTC)

Reason for requesting rollback rights signed, Kvinnen (talk) 04:41, 29 December 2025 (UTC)

Rollback would be useful for me as I am constantly patrolling recent changes to undo unhelpful edits. I would love to experiment with more efficient tools to revert unconstructive edits, see if those edit summaries (in other AV tools) are more descriptive etc. Currently, I like RedWarn for my purposes, but if better options exist, I would like to familiarize myself with those to be more productive. Thank you for your consideration. signed, Kvinnen (talk) 04:41, 29 December 2025 (UTC)

I, I use Nookipedia, request this right as it will help me fight vandalism. I can prove my history of fighting vandalism, as I always use the Recent Changes to patrol new edits as they come in. Not only that, I also warn users for vandalism, and I report users to Wikipedia:AIV for vandalism after final warning. I can deternime vandalism within seconds and revert it.

Also, I review the edit filter log, and issue warnings for it. The edit filter log is useful because a vandal can make a terrible edit and get caught, and make a less bad edit and evade the edit filter. Seeing this can quickly identify vandals, so I do it.

I have made a custom RC patrol setting: [5].

I have also received a message from an experienced user to request rollback, making it easier to revert bad changes. User_talk:I_use_Nookipedia#Fighting vandalism.

I hope I have demonstrated my ability for this user group. Also, my account is EXTENDED CONFIRMED. 🍃 I use Nookipedia 😊 (talk page) ✈️ 17:01, 30 December 2025 (UTC)

Hi, I have been patrolling Recent Changes on and off for about half a year, and was recently recommended to apply here by another editor. I consistently warn users when reverting suspected vandalism, and am aware of the usage guidelines at WP:ROLLBACK, with no history of edit warring. I'm also familiar with the procedures for requesting revision deletion under RD2 at admin talk pages and performing requests at WP:RPP. I am interested in rollback to speed up use with WP:UV, as well as to try out tools that require rollback to work such as WP:AntiVandal and the newer WP:CVPI.

Hi, my TE right is about to expire. I've used TE quite often, e.g. Module:Wide image, and it would make sense to have it permanently. Fixing dark mode is definitely going to take a while, and there's a lot to work on, e.g. Template:Yes. —Matrix ping mewhen u reply (t? - c) 11:38, 31 December 2025 (UTC)
