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

Current requests for unprotection

• 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.

Declined; article was salted due to multiple resurrection speedies in a short period of time. Create a draft in your userspace first, and make sure to source everything as you go. And please change your signature so that it links to your talk page. —Jeremy 19:50, 16 February 2010 (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.

Dhanush (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

longterm semi protection. This article is permanently plagued by IPs entering false or questionable information - in particular a date of birth vandalism, where various IPs keep editing random dates in the 80s that contradict the quoted source (IMDB). There is also tendencies of adding questionable personal information regarding his actors or his movies (lately unsourced POV hit/flop comments in the Notes column and describing him as Danush as playback singer). This is not a temporary peak in recent vandalism, but a persistent vandalism over a longer time frame. The birthday issue for instance is going on for over a year. The other problems vary but are somewhat regular as well.--Kmhkmh (talk) 14:16, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of three days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. — Kralizec! (talk) 14:21, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

Sorry i got interrupted when posting my request, the article actually would need a longterm protection against IPs, since this not a current peak in vandalism but unfortunately a longterm problem of IPs adding questionable stuff on a regular basis.--Kmhkmh (talk) 14:32, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

The page hadn't been protected since 2007. It would be highly unusual to start with a long protection period, it usually ramps up steadily. GedUK  14:59, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

Actually I requested a semi protection already a long time ago, at that time it was declined due to other additonal "good" editing by other IPs and since the problem was new at that time. However now it is a year later and we still have the same issue. The problem here is imho that this is relatively low profile article, where not many people keep a close watch and notice the constant and targeted vandalism over time. I'm just aware of it because I have it on my watch list. And the nature of this vandalism is of a form that short term protection won't fix anything at all. If you have IPs coming back for over a year to change the date of birth of introduce other questionablestuff, they certainly won't be discouraged by 3 day protection. This is not the kind of vandalism, where a new IP is messing up an article and is likely to move on when getting blocked for a while. This is going on for over a year, i.e. these IPs are obviously not discouraged by temporary blocks or reverts.--Kmhkmh (talk) 16:47, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

The 404 (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Unprotect, create redirect, and salt. The 404 is a popular colloquial reference to Highway 404 in Southern Ontario / Toronto. It's also the name of a popular podcast that doesn't meet the notability guidelines on[REDACTED] (hence the page currently being salted). I was wondering if it could be made into a redirect to Highway 404 (Ontario), but kept locked to prevent it from being changed back into an article about the podcast. - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ  _¢ 00:03, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
