    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 protection of a page, or increasing the protection level
    Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level
    Request a specific edit to a protected page
    Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here

    Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Filmssssssssssss (talk) 01:53, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts

    Reason: Persistent disruptive edits by multiple IP users. A. Randomdude0000 (talk) 03:22, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Please enforce WP:CT/AP given recent events. IanDBeacon (talk) 04:49, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Chill guy

    Reason: This is the fourth time requesting protection for this page, with times one and two lasting two weeks, and time three lasting one month. Each time the page's protection expires, there are an overwhelming amount of vandalism edits. Requesting indefinite autoconfirmed or confirmed access protection. Cheers! Johnson524 03:51, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    +1 Plenty of vandalism. I'm all for a longer protection, especially as the article's subject is a new mainstay of Internet meme culture. Entranced98 (talk) 12:30, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    List of films based on video games

    Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – As per my previous requests for page protection here, here, and here for this exact same page, there are several IPs adding a variety of blatantly false, meme movie titles to the page (e.g. "Mohamed the Movie"). This issue has been ongoing for almost four months now. Temporary page protection has been done in the past, the IPs have been blocked, and yet the vandalism continues. λ NegativeMP1 04:20, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Jelena Karleuša

    Reason: In recent weeks, there has been multiple changes made by the anonymous user 95.156.158.2, in which they keep vandalising the page of Jelena Karleuša, and if possible to switch protection to at least semi-protected or auto-confirmed users.

    Aella (writer)

    Reason: Subject's birth name is not hard to find, but there are zero RSes for it. Various editors (who have been around long enough to edit ECP) keep adding it, cited to blog sources or similar. Needs full protection under BLP for a suitable time - David Gerard (talk) 09:18, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Entranced98 (talk) 12:41, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Belize

    Reason: Unsure if necessary (may require different solution), but high amount of IP editing that could be controversial/against consensus, as well as blanking entire sections/large amounts of the article. 8Stars8 (talk) 12:55, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Entranced98 (talk) 13:29, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    147th Street (Sibley Boulevard) station

    Reason: High level of IP vandalism (adding full stops to captions, awkwardly rewording passages, removing citations, confusing/misleading edit descriptions such as "Yes" or "Great"), requesting semi-protection. Similar edits on other pages but most frequently on this one. Hotdog with ketchup (talk) 14:15, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    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.

    Movement for Quality Government in Israel

    Reason: There is no reason to protect this page. The controversies regarding the subject do not reach anywhere near the level that the page requires protection. I have done some research on the movement and wish to add it to the page. Resignation793 (talk) 18:03, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Not done, very clearly falls within WP:PIA as a political organization concerned with shaping Israeli government and governance. As such, it is required to be restricted to EC editors by default. signed, Rosguill talk 18:08, 13 February 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.
