    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.

    AFC Champions League two

    Reason: High level of IP vandalism. MMMM97 (talk) 20:02, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Question: That's a recently created redirect. Which article did you want protection at? Daniel Case (talk) 22:55, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @MMMM97: courtesy ping. El_C 07:58, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Declined This appears to concern AFC Champions League -2 where there is a move discussion on article talk. There is a lot of editing but I did not notice vandalism and none was specified in this request. I ECP move-protected the article for a week. @MMMM97: In addition to the warnings on your talk, I will block you if you move that article again. Leave it for the discussion to be resolved and let someone else do it. Johnuniq (talk) 08:40, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Mpox related articles

    Nearly all articles linked in Template:2022–2023 mpox outbreak should be protected.

    Reason: Persistent Vandalism. The same vandal has been consistently adding the same racist word in nearly every article about Mpox. Additionally, they have now branched out into anime related articles. I would request those pages be protected as well. See edits of 2601:46:600:2AF5:4BA0:A68E:F9FC:3C71, 2601:46:600:8df4:e9e6:56bb:47d9:ce40, 2601:40:c600:a9f0:f8f6:d1a0:512b:2ea2, 76.98.200.125, 76.98.202.103, and more. --Classicwiki (talk) If you reply here, please ping me. 04:07, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    • Automated comment: @Classicwiki: This request cannot be parsed. Please ensure it follows formatting consistent with the current or previous methods of submission.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 04:07, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Additionally not all articles have been successfully revdel'ed. Some still require it. If there is a range block that is obvious, that might be useful as well. --Classicwiki (talk) If you reply here, please ping me. 04:09, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Checking to see if protection is necessary. @Classicwiki: In the future, please list the specific articles with significant disruption. It's only a subset of the articles. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 04:47, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Not done — that template has not been edited for like 6 months! El_C 04:49, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Sorry, Daniel Quinlan, missed your checking. El_C 04:50, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Semi-protected. I've protected the articles with the most disruption. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 05:02, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    User(s) blocked: 76.98.202.103 (talk · contribs). Other recent IPs also blocked by other administrators. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 05:02, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    File:Flag of the Chinese Communist Party (Pre-1996).svg

    Reason: High level of non-historical edits by user NorthTension, that is disrupting the historically accurate colors of the flag. I request Protection of this page, a level high enough for him to not be able to edit it again. Wheatley2 (talk) 05:13, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Not done — that file is hosted at WP:COMMONS, so I suggest contacting admins there. El_C 05:22, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Zomi Revolutionary Army

    Temporary semi-protection:

    Reason: High level of IP vandalism. Golem469 (talk) 08:11, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of one week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Johnuniq (talk) 08:42, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Portugal

    Reason: Vandalism. Indefinite semi-protection. This page has been protected 20 times. 110.173.237.250 (talk) 08:41, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. An article like this will get a lot of attention but there have not been many recent bad edits. Johnuniq (talk) 08:47, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Special:Contributions/ANTI-Disgustting_Old&Ugly_Protituteee. NoCringe (talk) 09:48, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    User(s) blocked. All the socks listed above, at least.
    Semi-protected for a period of 2 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Not sure we need WP:ECP just yet, though. But if WP:SEMI proves insufficient, feel free to relist here or drop me a line on my talk page, NoCringe. Also, I've WP:REVDEL'd some YesCringe. El_C 11:18, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: BLP policy violations – An IP hopper is adding content to the lead that is unduly long to an extent that it violates BLP. Air on White (talk) 09:54, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 3 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Favonian (talk) 10:36, 25 May 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.

    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.

    2014 Isla Vista killings

    I would like to request that someone give this article a serious look through. There are numerous grammatical errors, as if someone who is not a native English speaker wrote it. Errors are primarily subject/verb agreement. 133.130.185.232 (talk) 01:29, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    This isn't really an edit request. Daniel Case (talk) 23:15, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
