Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 06:14, 11 July 2017

Welcome—request protection of a page, file, or template here.

Shortcuts WP:RFPP WP:RFP WP:RPP 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. Skip to table of contents requests to raise protection lower protection requested edits (purge) Request protection of a page, or increasing the protection level Request protection Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level Request unprotection Request a specific edit to a protected page Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here Request edit

Full-protection: High level of edit warring vandalism with out reaching to consensus and resorting to personal insults by @SubhashiniIyer:. https://en.wikipedia.org/Talk:Malliya_Rechana

Dear usernamekiran, SubhasiniIyer has disrupted the pages again without arriving at a consensus over here.--Abrahmad111 (talk) 19:48, 9 July 2017 (UTC)

@CambridgeBayWeather: this is right, Abrahmad111 did not edit the article at all. As I know nothing about the the poet/subject; I dont know how his edts are. @Abrahmad111: Do you think SubhashiniIyer's edits are uncontroversial? —usernamekiran(talk) 07:35, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

I realise that Abrahmad111 didn't edit the article and that is good that they didn't revert. But they also need to stop going on at each other. That's why they should use the dispute resolution.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Pending changes are also not working as daily the article is being targeted. Semi-protect it please but for a very long duration. —IB 04:57, 11 July 2017 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Pending changes is fine at the moment. No necessity for semi. Anarchyte (work | talk) 06:01, 11 July 2017 (UTC)

Undertale

Current requests for reduction in protection level

• WP:RFUP
• WP:RFPU

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.

Unprotection: The musical artist is a notable figure and a subject of public interest. Requesting un protection . Have developed an article about him on my sandbox ,please have a look https://en.wikipedia.org/User:Anoptimistix/sandbox. Anoptimistix (talk) 03:30, 9 July 2017 (UTC)

• Automated comment: A request for protection/unprotection for one or more pages in this request was recently made, and was denied at some point within the last 8 days.—_{Talk to my owner:Online} 03:33, 9 July 2017 (UTC)

@Ronhjones: Pinging protecting administrator. Anarchyte (work | talk) 03:40, 9 July 2017 (UTC)

Article was deleted 7 times, I don't see this sandbox as being markedly better. Since there is a submit banner on the sandbox, suggest user implements it - if AfC passes the article then they can request unprotection. Ronhjones  21:37, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

Or just have another admin move the article into place.—CYBERPOWER (Message) 00:00, 11 July 2017 (UTC)

• Declined per above.—CYBERPOWER (Message) 00:04, 11 July 2017 (UTC)

Current requests for edits to a protected page

• WP:RFED

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 Misplaced Pages:Suggestions for COI compliance), the {{Edit COI}} template should be used.
• Requests to move move-protected pages should be made at Misplaced Pages: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.
