    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

    Temporary extended confirmed protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Unusually high level of disruption by non-EC users over the last few days. — kashmīrī TALK 08:32, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Seems to be a huge edit warring mess the last 90+ edits (47 of which have been made after this protection request), seemingly started sometime after this edit and others by an extended confirmed editor(edit: not EC either, not 30 days old).
    Is this a contentious topic area? – 2804:F14:80D0:4F01:DC8C:3E45:EB65:B7BD (talk) 10:02, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Adding live scores which violates WP:LIVESCORES and I also believe it is WP:INDISCRIMINATE. Suggestion to protect the page until the tournament ends on June 30. 98𝚃𝙸𝙶𝙴𝚁𝙸𝚄𝚂 • [𝚃𝙰𝙻𝙺] 14:25, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    2024 Atlantic hurricane season

    Reason: Temporary full-protection request. Edit war ongoing from experienced (all EC) editors. Also a split consensus on AN/I - Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Editors removing formatted citations for bare URL citations. Full protection requested until AN/I is sorted out, solving the edit war/consensus/policy issue raised. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 18:14, 18 June 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.

    Suraj Mal

    Reason: Lot of fake wars with no primary source which need to be deleted ....... . 2409:4050:2DBC:D5AB:6154:456:EE2D:EE76 (talk) 13:01, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    • Automated comment: This user who requested protection has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 13:14, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Not unprotected – Please use an edit request to request specific changes to be made to the protected page. I assume you meant Suraj Mal and have changed the request accordingly. Talk:Suraj Mal is not protected. Favonian (talk) 15:08, 18 June 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.
