    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.

    Nanda dynasty

    Temporary extended confirmed protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Persistent disruption by adding controversial additions [1] constantly edit warring, instead of taking it on talk page. Garuda Talk! 15:56, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Since the user was only just alerted to CTOPS, and there does seem to be some discussion on talk, and imposing ECP when Tiipu is the only participant without that access level so doing that would essentially grant victory (albeit temporarily) in the content dispute, I am reluctant to protect as of yet. Daniel Case (talk) 21:11, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary extended confirmed protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Same case here as well, the recent controversial undue additions [2] are nowhere near to constructive. Garuda Talk! 16:12, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. And for the same reasons I have declined at Nanda dynasty. Daniel Case (talk) 21:12, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 1 year, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Logged as enforcement for WP:CT/IPA. @Voorts: I already protected it, it looks like these disruptive edits have been a long-standing issue. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 23:50, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    My bad; I didn't reload the history page before declining so I didn't see your imposition of protection. voorts (talk/contributions) 23:51, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Reason: IP 2A02:85F:F0DC:1CBA:E06E:9D08:A856:D9F6 continues vandalically reversing several of my edits in the Dafne Keen article after the dual nationality thing was corrected without having touched it manually, it is a WP:DUCK that had been blocked earlier this month and apparently it is evading the blocking by restarting a modem of the Internet connection from Greece. 64.32.109.113 (talk) 00:46, 12 January 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.

    Indefinite pending changes protection: Is not even a real thing it is just a fictious project as other pages such as celebrities WolfeReAds (talk) 04:32, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    @WolfeReAds:I highly doubt this will be done as you have provided no legitimate reason to lower the protection. Dronebogus (talk) 04:44, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @WolfeReAds: Did you read the article? Even the preview popups I use make it clear the article is about works of fiction. This is like arguing a page about a celebrity should be unprotected because the article states the guy was only popular in Oak Grove, Kentucky. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 07:48, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Declined – Pending changes protection should not be used on pages with a high edit rate. (Used the wrong template.) Declined no rationale for reducing protection has been provided. voorts (talk/contributions) 23:52, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    I believe Robert McClenon's response to you at Del Rev (11 Jan) was along the lines of "create a notable draft first, then we'll deal with unprotection". Zinnober9 (talk) 05:48, 11 January 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.
