Requests for page protection


Current requests for increase in protection level

[edit]
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, failing that, the page history. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.


Indefinite template protection: High-risk template – This module has a very small number of transclusions (just over 300), but because of how it is used (on Module talk pages) changes to this module could have disastrous consequences. Someone who wanted to really cause havoc could break basically every unit test by making subtle changes to this module that would currently only be caught if someone is watching the page. Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 05:50, 1 October 2025 (UTC)

Not done not done after hearing from Pppery, but if someone else feels strongly feel free to go ahead. Dr vulpes (Talk) 02:05, 2 October 2025 (UTC)
Tagging @Pppery since they've worked with this module in the past and I don't want to break anything. Dr vulpes (Talk) 21:25, 1 October 2025 (UTC)
My personal opinion is that this isn't high enough risk to warrant protection, but protecting it will in no means break anything, so if you disagree then go ahead. * Pppery * it has begun... 21:26, 1 October 2025 (UTC)

Reason: Persistent vandalism by several IPs. HHH Pedrigree (talk) 09:46, 1 October 2025 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry; IPs blocked for block evasion. 99.237.160.28 (talk) 13:39, 1 October 2025 (UTC)

Reason: User keeps trying to add a random birth year, no notable source other then a random non wikipedia wiki, that also isn't sourced. Removing 1997 because the birth certificate on wikimedia not being usable as a source is one thing, trying to add a random other one classes as persistant vandalism in my opinion SnowyWatcher (talk) 16:25, 1 October 2025 (UTC)

Editor blocked. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 17:30, 1 October 2025 (UTC)

Reason: There's a controversy involving the subject and an anonymous vandal is entering editorial opinions that constantly need to be reverted. Perhaps a semi-protection for a short period of time might suffice to discourage the vandal? MauriceYMichaud (talk) 16:34, 1 October 2025 (UTC)

Current requests for reduction in protection level

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

Before posting a request to this page, 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 from talk page activity, page views, page traffic, 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.

Unprotection: I don't there's a need for full protection. Maybe ECP or semi would be more appropriate. —Matrix ping mewhen u reply (t? - c) 18:45, 1 October 2025 (UTC)

@Floquenbeam: - I'm confused why it's full-protected too. Wouldn't it be enough to semiprotect to prevent socks from editing the page? ~Anachronist (who / me) (talk) 19:04, 1 October 2025 (UTC)
It's sort of explained in the note at the bottom of the talk. I think the intent was to avoid any type of goading of Hidden Tempo while their talk page/UTRS ban was in place. Given the many years that have passed since the talk page protection, it's probably fine to lower it. As Floq is currently only dipping their toe into the Wikipedia pool from time to time these days, a quick response may not be forthcoming. -- Ponyobons mots 20:04, 1 October 2025 (UTC)

Comment: Italian Brainrot is subject to WP:CT/ARBPIA since the content contains sensitive material in relation to the current Arab-Israeli Conflict (See Italian brainrot#Controversial audios). Also, the page has had a history of vandalism. HwyNerd Mike (tokk) 03:23, 2 October 2025 (UTC)

Current requests for edits to a protected page

[edit]
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

Edit requests 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.
