Wikipedia:Requests for page protection
Welcome—request protection of a page, file, or template here. | ||
---|---|---|
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.

Safety of Rwanda (Asylum and Immigration) Act 2024
Reason: The article has been the subject of persistent vandalism which editors have had to remove. It is likely, given that the Act has just passed, and given the nature of the Act which is to remove asylum seekers from the United Kingdom to Rwanda, it will persist in being the victim of vandalism in the near future. I would propose an interim
- User(s) blocked blocked by Joyous!. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 23:31, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
- Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Also, please just use the page protection level name in your requests rather than the color. Thanks. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 23:31, 25 April 2024 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Persistent
]- Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 00:55, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
- Semi-protected for a period of 1 day, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. It's high enough to justify it now. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 01:19, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
Azumanga Daioh
Semi-protection: Persistent
]United Torah Judaism
Reason: High level of IP vandalism due to the nature of the current Israel-Hamas War and its close relationship to said conflict. 140.141.4.65 (talk) 01:08, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
- I meant to say risk, not level, sorry. 140.141.4.65 (talk) 01:11, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
Black Panthers (Israel)
Reason: High risk of IP vandalism due to the nature of the current Israel-Hamas War and its role in Israeli history 140.141.4.65 (talk) 01:10, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
List of political parties in Israel

List of political parties in the State of Palestine
Reason: High risk of IP vandalism due to the current Israel-Hamas war, as this is a Palestine-specific page 140.141.4.65 (talk) 01:41, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

Current requests for reduction in protection level
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.
Draft:William Bishop
Reason: Create-protecting the generic form of this name in draft space is not needed, and may interfere with submission of a draft for someone other than the current subject. Multiple forms of the name are already create-protected in article space, and some in draft space also. Robert McClenon (talk) 14:09, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
Current requests for edits to a protected page
Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here
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
{{
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.Edit protected}},}}{{Edit template-protected}}
,{{Edit extended-protected}}
, or{{Edit semi-protected
- 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.
