    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.

    Already done. @Dafootballguy2, you didn't quite fill the template out correctly. I'm assuming you meant Patrick Mahomes, which is already semiprotected. You can see from the gray lock in the top right corner in desktop view. There also has been no recent vandalism (especially not from IPs, who are unable to edit that article).

    Current requests for reduction in protection level

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

    With that long of a protection log? —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 15:34, 5 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes. ~2025-31436-36 (talk) 08:08, 6 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Courtesy @El C:. I would tend to at least lower to pending-changes protection for some time, and then let it fizzle out. Reduced activity might have to do with the fact that the article subject died in 2022. Lectonar (talk) 11:55, 6 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I agree that lowering to PC for a while is a good idea. Toadspike [Talk] 17:47, 6 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Indefinite pending changes protection: No longer necessary. It's not 2007 anymore, replacing all the text with slander will be much less common. Tankishguy 18:20, 7 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    along with that, pending changes means nobody will actually see it if that happens, except for people who do AV work. Tankishguy 18:22, 7 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Not unprotected Pending changes has been attempted repeatedly and found to be ineffective. I don't see any valid argument to lower the protection of this perenially targetted article at this time.Ponyobons mots 18:31, 7 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    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
    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.
