    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.

    Kingdom of Sicily

    Reason: User using a different IP trying to vandalize this article again, in a situtation that is already happening for months, so i ask, if its possible to make this article with a much longer protection period or a permanent protection also because its listed as a "good article". This user appears all the time that the protection period ends with a different IP everytime and making the exactly same edit that many users already reverted in the numerous previous times it tried to "edit" the article. Thanks Liimkna (talk) 01:05, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of six months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Daniel Case (talk) 05:53, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Am I Racist?

    Reason: Some vandalism and un-referenced claims being added. This article is a contentious topic some might consider so it will probably bring some trolling within the coming weeks. A semi-protection for a few weeks at least is warranted here I believe. TheOneTwoGo (talk) 02:09, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of one year, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. As WP:AP2. El_C 05:57, 15 September 2024 (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 at 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.

    Pokemón

    Reason: I'm trying to create a translated version for Wikipedia en Español. It was a respectful translation but I can't upload it because of this error: "This page has been protected to prevent editing or other actions." Leandroid (talk) 01:53, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

     Not done The English page isn't protected. You'd have to take this up with the admins at the Spanish Wikipedia, where we have no authority. Daniel Case (talk) 06:04, 15 September 2024 (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.
