    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.

    This page has an administrative backlog that requires the attention of willing administrators.
    Please replace this notice with {{no admin backlog}} when the backlog is cleared.

    Current requests for increase in protection level

    Place requests for new or upgrading of article protection, upload protection, or create protection at the BOTTOM of this section.

    WWE World Championship

    Semi-protection: High level of IP vandalism, mostly either vanity vandalism (inserting their own name or that of a friend) or changing names to their favorite wrestlers. It's a pereneial problem, always happening whenever the page is unprotected. Needs permanent semi in my mind. oknazevad (talk) 12:24, 18 November 2016 (UTC)

    Semi-protected indefinitely. After reviewing the extensive protection history at the page's former location, WWE Championship (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs), I have to agree that it's time for indef. Samsara 17:46, 18 November 2016 (UTC)

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Vandalism, especially in financial details. Charles Turing (talk) 16:33, 18 November 2016 (UTC)

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Vanamonde (talk) 10:55, 19 November 2016 (UTC)

    Denmark

    Temporary semi-protection: High-profile article still attracting vandalism after many previous temporary protection measures. Kind Tennis Fan (talk) 02:25, 19 November 2016 (UTC)

    Declined for now - latest vandal was blocked and enough people watch the article to handle the normal volume of vandalism, I think. Re-list if situation worsens. AlexiusHoratius 12:34, 19 November 2016 (UTC)

    Whisk

    Semi-protection: High level of IP vandalism. Page has been protected a number of times (even requiring a revdel) since 2012 and the IPs come back every time the protection expires. Maybe it's time to beef the protection up a bit or at least extend the period of protection. -- Marchjuly (talk) 02:35, 19 November 2016 (UTC)

    Declined for now - only a few recent instances. Just revert it. AlexiusHoratius 12:35, 19 November 2016 (UTC)

    Billy Ray Cyrus

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Users are changing the name to random and false names rapidly. Creeperparty568 ~ Cool Guy (talk) 03:59, 19 November 2016 (UTC)

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Socking IPs vandalising persistently. User doesn't appear to be online, else he could protect it himself. Joseph2302 13:07, 19 November 2016 (UTC)

    Ridiculous. An administrator doesn't need nannying by a Norwich City supporter. 81.151.100.70 (talk) 13:34, 19 November 2016 (UTC)

    Current requests for reduction in 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.

    Current requests for edits to a protected page

    Further information: Misplaced Pages:Edit requests 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 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.
