    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.

    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. Check the archive of fulfilled and denied requests or, failing that, the page history if you cannot find your request. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.

    Todd McFarlane- and Spawn-related articles

    Indefinite semi-protection: Highly persistent IP editor engaging in vandalism and actionable BLP violations (for nearly a year on some of these articles). Repeated temporary protection has failed as a deterrent. This person has been nursing this particular libel for more than 30 years... he isn't going to stop adding it to WP just because he has to wait a little while for protection to expire again. -Jason A. Quest (talk) 23:39, 1 July 2017 (UTC)

    Note: I have protected Todd McFarlane. The rest either do not have enough history of disruptive editing to justify protection or are already protected. Ad Orientem (talk) 01:35, 2 July 2017 (UTC)
    Please look at the overall pattern. When one of these articles has been temp-protected, he turns to the others, so that isn't a deterrent. Protecting just one of them is still enabling and encouraging him. -Jason A. Quest (talk) 12:07, 2 July 2017 (UTC)
    I'm familiar with this vandal. I'll keep an eye on the articles. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 06:57, 2 July 2017 (UTC)

    Kingdom (biology)

    Permanent semi-protection: Persistent vandalism from IP users. This page is in need of significant revision and the vandalism from various IP users complicates this effort. --Theropod (talk) 04:46, 2 July 2017 (UTC)

    Indefinite create protection: Repeatedly recreated – Self-promotional page which keeps being recreated - deleted 4 times in 2 years. Boleyn (talk) 06:38, 2 July 2017 (UTC)

    Declined. It was just deleted at an AfD. If recreated in the next few days then it should be salted. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 08:12, 2 July 2017 (UTC)

    Smartmatic

(see Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppet investigations/Smmtt/Archive - Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppet investigations/Vanjpadilla - WP:COIN Archive 108, Archive 109 and Archive 111.1 and Archive 111.2) ZiaLater (talk) 10:55, 2 July 2017 (UTC)

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing by an IP user in the last week (appears to be motivated by national rivalry). As the editor changes IP, the person cannot be effectively blocked. Hzh (talk) 13:07, 2 July 2017 (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.
