Requests for page protection


Current requests for increase in protection level

[edit]
Request protection of a page, or increasing the protection level

Place requests for protection increases at the BOTTOM of this section. If you cannot find your request, check the archive of requests or, failing that, the page history. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.


Temporary pending changes: Persistent vandalism – Not all recent IP edits are clearly bad faith. Entranced98 (talk) 10:40, 4 April 2025 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – More IP editors persistently re-adding unsourced and sometimes outright fake endorsements, and party policy positions three or more years out of date, which have been repeatedly reverted. Has been slow but ongoing since last protection was lifted. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 13:47, 4 April 2025 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Ongoing block evasion and addition of unsourced content; page recently unprotected but now subject to same disruptive editing after end of block. ser! (chat to me - see my edits) 15:00, 4 April 2025 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Persistent disruptive editing by anonymous editor(s). livelikemusic (TALK!) 15:23, 4 April 2025 (UTC)

Reason: High level of IP vandalism by different IP's who edit the same racist additions. Currently it is 182.0.205.13 Bklynculture (talk) 02:18, 5 April 2025 (UTC)

(Non-administrator comment) Presumably the intended page is Bensonhurst, Brooklyn (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) and not the given redirect. I don't really see the need to protect the page just yet given the rate of disruption so far, and it will not stop the user responsible since they are actively disrupting a numerous other articles with fake demographic information their recent edits have now largely been reverted on known ranges If I were still active and had the time I would actively recommend holding off for the moment to gather more data and lock down some patterns and ranges using a known repeat target. However I don't have the time these years to actively monitor this or really any pages, and especially not in the coming month. If someone else wants to take this on fine, otherwise it can be protected but it's unlikely to reduce disruption to any significant degree. 184.152.65.118 (talk) 03:48, 6 April 2025 (UTC)
Declined per IP. * Pppery * it has begun... 14:03, 6 April 2025 (UTC)

Reason: Sockpuppetry. See Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Dietricht Borgenland (talk) 05:05, 5 April 2025 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. - it looks like just one sock account has targeted that page. That isn't really enough to warrant ECP which would otherwise be warranted. * Pppery * it has begun... 14:03, 6 April 2025 (UTC)

Current requests for reduction in protection level

[edit]
Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level

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.

Reason: Because there is no reason for the semi-protection in the first place. 2601:243:2100:5AC0:FCC5:E5D5:2ECC:2C86 (talk) 03:58, 6 April 2025 (UTC)

 Comment:: Page history seems to say otherwise. Sumanuil. (talk to me) 04:18, 6 April 2025 (UTC)

@Sergecross73: Pinging the protecting admin. (CC) Tbhotch 05:13, 6 April 2025 (UTC)
I watched over the page for over a decade. It's a magnet for problematic edits. I'm not opposed if someone feels strongly, but it almost certainly be re-upped again for bad edits. There are many editors who maintain it these days though, so there are people to assist. Sergecross73 msg me 13:01, 6 April 2025 (UTC)

Current requests for edits to a protected page

[edit]
Request a specific edit to a protected page
Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here

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.

Autopatrolled

[edit]

Reason for requesting autopatrolled rights Can I have autopatrolled rights re granted, as they have now expired? Thank you! SDGB1217 (talk) 17:05, 22 March 2025 (UTC)

@Femke would you like to take this one as you granted the temporary rights? HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 22:15, 30 March 2025 (UTC)
 Done —Femke 🐦 (talk) 07:53, 6 April 2025 (UTC)

I've been an editor on the English Wikipedia since 2017 and have created over 100 articles. Being autopatrolled will reduce the backlog on articles needing reviews. Thanks for the consideration. SuperSwift (talk) 19:10, 2 April 2025 (UTC)

(Non-administrator comment) On the plus side, no article deletions since 2022. I took a quick look at the three most recent recent creations: Lagos Marriott Hotel has incorrect coordinates (the map location is nowhere near Lagos) and the sources are rewritten press releases. Massey Street Children's Hospital is WP:OVERCATegorized: if it's in a category for hospitals in Lagos, then it's already nested in categories for hospitals in Nigeria and hospitals and doesn't need to be in those categories too. John Randle Centre for Yoruba Culture and History is missing bold text in its lead sentence. These suggest your page creations will still benefit from being patrolled. Dclemens1971 (talk) 04:04, 4 April 2025 (UTC)
 Not done. I have to agree with Dclemens1971's assessment here. Aoidh (talk) 19:37, 4 April 2025 (UTC)

 Done. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 00:30, 6 April 2025 (UTC)

I'm currently working on some general maintenance of articles related to the theory of general relativity and would like some extra tools for automatic syntax fixing, etc. Some articles like this one could use some semi-automated tender love and care. A recent rewrite I did here might improve with some finishing touches too. ScienceDawns (talk) 08:44, 18 March 2025 (UTC)

 Done, although I'm not sure how useful you'll find AWB for that...you may want to look into something like WPCleaner. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 00:30, 6 April 2025 (UTC)

I feel like I've improved as an editor since my rights were revoked in July 2024 (due to a long series of impulsive mistakes I made and not checking my work hard enough), and since I last tried to apply in November 2024. I've tried slowing down on the editing, especially with Rater, as Pppery pointed out.

Anyway, the main reason why I wanted to reapply for AWB is because cleaning up Category:Pages using infobox Russian inhabited locality with unknown parameters has been rather tedious; I recently found a bunch of unnecessary parameters (most notably, "date") that I believe can be removed more efficiently if I had access to the application. However, I will try to remove parameters (or use AWB in general) as a last resort (like if the params are truly redundant), and instead try to fix them if possible. OpalYosutebito (talk) 02:29, 21 March 2025 (UTC)

I also found Category:Pages using infobox university with the image name parameter, which should be an easy fix, as it mostly requires changing one parameter to another - OpalYosutebito (talk) 10:15, 26 March 2025 (UTC)
@Pppery for awareness charlotte 👸♥ 09:32, 29 March 2025 (UTC)
I've been aware of this for a while but haven't had the time and motivation to look into it. Any other admin is welcome to do so without expecting some sort of response from me. * Pppery * it has begun... 15:58, 29 March 2025 (UTC)
I hope you're feeling better soon :) - OpalYosutebitotalk』 『articles I want to eat』 23:50, 29 March 2025 (UTC)
Reflecting back on this I think the Wikipedia:Administrative_action_review#March 2025 revocation of my AutoWikiBrowser rights by Pppery scenario has made me lose motivation to process this page generally. I'll probably come back here eventually, and another admin will get to this in due time if I don't. * Pppery * it has begun... 23:03, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
You're saying all the right things, OpalYosutebito, so  Done. But I strongly encourage you to move very cautiously: you can expect the right to be revoked without warning if there are further issues, and if that happens people are unlikely to give you a third chance. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 00:58, 6 April 2025 (UTC)
Got it. I'll do my best not to screw this one up! - OpalYosutebitotalk』 『articles I want to eat』 01:38, 6 April 2025 (UTC)

I am requesting access to AWB to help me efficiently fix typos and clean up articles that I find with the "random article" button. AllCatsAreGrey (talk) 21:10, 21 March 2025 (UTC)

AllCatsAreGrey, any specific examples of widespread typos or other things you'd need AWB to fix? You probably wouldn't find it very useful for cleaning up a particular article. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 23:48, 5 April 2025 (UTC)
Hello, and thanks for the reply. Specifically, I plan to create lists and use tools like RegExTypoFix to perform tedious but helpful edits more efficiently. I've only been actively editing for a few months and completely understand if more experience is expected before access is granted. That said, I've read and understood the rules, and I'll be sure to review every edit carefully and avoid making insignificant changes. – AllCatsAreGrey (talk) 00:23, 6 April 2025 (UTC)
 Done, but you're indeed right on the edge in terms of experience, so move cautiously. In particular make sure you're only using AWB for things that are unambiguous mistakes rather than just differences in style. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 01:09, 6 April 2025 (UTC)

I wish to use AutoWikiBrowser to edit Wikipedia and help fix minor and major errors with automated programming, I feel like I could do a lot more with it than just regular editing. Valorrr (talk) 21:55, 31 March 2025 (UTC)

 Not done as you don't meet the minimums listed at the top of the page: 500 mainspace edits or 250 non-automated mainspace edits (you're at 327 and 155). Beyond that, I would repeat the advice that several other admins have given you: slow down a little. Enthusiasm is great, but it really does take time to fully understand all the complexities and unwritten norms of Wikipedia, and it always backfires on people when they try to move too quickly. All the advanced permissions will still be here in a few months! Extraordinary Writ (talk) 07:51, 6 April 2025 (UTC)

AWB, will be able to help me make larger and accurate contributions, with great speed. I understand many en-Wikipedia policies through RCP and have gathered the privilege of rollback and pending changes reviewing through my several hundred contributions.

Thanks and happy editing! twisted. (user | talk | contribs) 18:05, 5 April 2025 (UTC)

 Not done as you're a bit below the minimums listed at the top of the page, particularly with only 54 non-automated mainspace edits. Improving articles manually is the best way to get relevant experience and to see whether you need the right—everyone wants great speed, but it generally works out much better if you start slow!

Cool beans, thanks for your help! ill just run it through the Programs and Events dashboard. Librarian Daireon (talk) 13:31, 26 March 2025 (UTC)
 Not done, has become moot. @Librarian Daireon: feel free to apply next time if it would make life easier for you at the event. An event coordinator can for instance make people temporarily confirmed, so that they can edit semi-protected articles. This might be good if you're editing mildly controversial articles. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 08:01, 6 April 2025 (UTC)
Requests for new page reviewer

New page reviewer

[edit]

I am reapplying for the new page reviewer role after my initial request was declined because now I realize I had applied prematurely. Since then, I have gained some experience, refined my understanding of Wikipedia’s policies, and have been actively contributing to the Articles for Creation (AfC) review process. This has not only strengthened my ability to assess new articles but has also given me useful experience in engaging constructively with editors.

I am well-versed with Wikipedia’s guidelines, particularly regarding notability, verifiability, and neutrality. My strength is my ability to remain unbiased while reviewing, and I always strive to improve by learning from my mistakes. Though my registered account is only a few months old, I have been editing Wikipedia for a long time, which has given me substantial familiarity with its norms and regulations.

I have been enjoying reviewing AfC drafts, and this experience has encouraged me to take on a more active role in maintaining Wikipedia’s quality. I now feel myself confident that I can handle this responsibility and would greatly appreciate the opportunity to contribute as a new page reviewer.

Thank you for your time and consideration. Best regards, Rahmatula786 (talk) 17:12, 21 February 2025 (UTC)

@Rahmatula786: What do you mean by though my registered account is only a few months old, I have been editing Wikipedia for a long time – did you have another account before this one? – Joe (talk) 08:42, 28 February 2025 (UTC)
No Sir, Before creating this account, I used to edit Wikipedia anonymously and made various contributions. However, after realizing the benefits of having a registered account, I created this one and have since been actively editing and contributing regularly. Rahmatula786 (talk) 09:33, 28 February 2025 (UTC)
(Non-administrator comment) Why did you reject this submission?[5] topic is notable.. it's seems you don't have knowledge about notability guidelines. Hellorld4 (talk) 01:10, 5 March 2025 (UTC)
I have replied on your talk page. Rahmatula786 (talk) 04:09, 5 March 2025 (UTC)

I would like to request NPR rights to contribute more effectively to this area and help reduce the backlog at NPP. I have created 18 articles and have been actively involved in patrolling new pages, tagging non-notable and promotional content for CSD and AfD. Many of the articles I have nominated for CSD or AfD have been deleted, which I believe reflects my understanding of Wikipedia's notability and content policies. With NPR rights, I will be able to continue this work more efficiently. I am familiar with relevant guidelines and policies and would appreciate the opportunity to help out in this area. Thanks for your time and consideration! Junbeesh (talk) 07:43, 8 March 2025 (UTC)

I've been an editor for a while and have experience in article creation (mainly on the shorter side for more niche areas with fewer sources) and have a few DYKs under my belt. Think my knowledge of policy demonstrated through this makes me a good fit for these permissions. Upjav (talk) 20:33, 11 March 2025 (UTC)

As a further note, I'd like to review new pages. Upjav (talk) 02:17, 18 March 2025 (UTC)

I wish to apply for New Page Reviewer permissions to deal with the large backlog of unreviewed pages. I have participated in many AfD discussions, which proves my understanding of Wikipedia's content policies and notability guidelines. JustARandomEditor123 (talk) 10:48, 15 March 2025 (UTC)

Hi, I am a quite experienced Wikipedia editor and pending changes reviewer; I may contribute in this field as well. Itemirus (talk) 15:00, 17 March 2025 (UTC)

I have significant experience patrolling new pages from years ago. I have re-familiarized myself with content policies and would like to resume. — yutsi (talk) 01:58, 19 March 2025 (UTC)

I am requesting this permission because I want to volunteer in reducing the NPP backlog and ensuring that new pages are encyclopedic and properly cited. I believe that I am qualified to be a new page reviewer because I have created many new articles that are encyclopedic and adequately sourced, nominated new pages for speedy deletion when appropriate and have participated in the AfD process. Cyrobyte (talk) 00:09, 21 March 2025 (UTC)

I have temporary NPP right which will expire in few days, I kindly request renewal of this right to continue reviewing articles. Thank you. Mekomo (talk) 14:33, 22 March 2025 (UTC)

@Rosguill do you want this one? HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 22:29, 30 March 2025 (UTC)
HJ Mitchell I’m generally fine with other admins reviewing track records for people whom I conferred trial runs to (and arguably the extra set of eyes is a good thing). My activity has been rather inconsistent lately in particular due to other demand on my time so I would expect others to step in more signed, Rosguill talk 22:52, 30 March 2025 (UTC)

Hi, explaining briefly: I would like to be able to contribute in this area. Thanks in advance. JacktheBrown (talk) 15:09, 30 March 2025 (UTC)

@JacktheBrown I nearly declined your request outright thinking you were a new editor then realised you have 82k edits. I would expect an editor of that experience to figure out that new requests go at the bottom but aside from that, would you like to write a more detailed statement? HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 22:23, 30 March 2025 (UTC)
@HJ Mitchell: I would like to be able to contribute in this area (help is always good) and I think I can do it well; I don't know what else to write except that I would like to help. I've a lot of experience in the website, so although this is a slightly different area, I learn quickly. JacktheBrown (talk) 22:43, 30 March 2025 (UTC)

Hello, I would like to request the New Page Reviewer user right. I have been actively contributing to Wikipedia since May 2022 and have made a variety of edits, including content creation, copyediting, and reverting vandalism. I have also patrolled recent changes and worked on improving articles related to history, Type 1 diabetes, and various general topics. Additionally, I understand Wikipedia's notability guidelines, reliable sourcing requirements, and article layout conventions. I am familiar with the CSD and AfC, as well as most other things. Thank you for considering my request. MallardTV Talk to me! 03:41, 6 April 2025 (UTC)

Hi, I’d like to request NPR right for a 45 day trial. I’m familiar with key policy WP:N, WP:V, WP:NPOV, and deletion criteria, CSD, PROD, & AfD. I want to test myself with this role and help reduce the backlog by reviewing new pages carefully and in line with Wiki guidelines. Oxiyam.Primal (talk) 10:28, 6 April 2025 (UTC)

I think there's a technical issue with the AfD Statistics tool, its only showing the list of articles I nominated, while the rest seem to be hidden. Btw, I'm open to feedback and fully committed to learning and improving during the trial. Oxiyam.Primal (talk) 11:00, 6 April 2025 (UTC)
Requests for page mover

Page mover

[edit]

I'm an experienced editor with years of history on Wikipedia and I've recently been getting more into page moving (mostly to fix disambiguation-related issues). The issue is that increasingly I see that a redirect already exists at the intended destination, so it would be very helpful for me to have the page mover permission so I can resolve these issues efficiently. I have moved over 500 pages so far and have initiated several requested moves as well. I don't intend to engage in any controversial moves and if any of mine are contested I'll immediately revert and go to RM.

Thanks, Habst (talk) 18:11, 1 April 2025 (UTC)
Requests for pending changes reviewer

Pending changes reviewer

[edit]

I've been editing for a long time and understand Wikipedia's policies and goals. I especially like to help out at pages which have a lot of enthusiastic edits by knowledgeable people who might not understand Wikipedia's format and goals, making them perfect candidates for pending changes protection.

I think pending changes reviewer rights would be the perfect way to help separate the wheat from the chaff and help our newest editors participate and make a difference while maintaining our high standards. Bruhpedia (talk) 20:52, 26 March 2025 (UTC)

I need the Pending changes right, I patrol through serval articles on Wikipedia Atimes I’m experienced, without much been said, I want to support. Chippla360 (talk) 18:29, 2 April 2025 (UTC)

 Automated comment This user has had an account for 28 days. MusikBot talk 18:30, 2 April 2025 (UTC)
 Not done. @Chippla360, I see you've made very few reverts, which indicates that you may not be familiar with all the policies around WP:vandalism. For one, you do not seem to warn editors after vandalism (which you can do using WP:Twinkle. Please get some more experience before reapplying (and an application without typos will also help!). —Femke 🐦 (talk) 08:06, 6 April 2025 (UTC)

I have read the WP:PCCRITERIA and I believe that I meet them. I sometimes see pending edits waiting for approval on articles, and I believe that I could do this job myself. wojtekpolska1013 [talk page] 09:35, 3 April 2025 (UTC)

 Automated comment This user has 29 edits in the mainspace. MusikBot talk 09:40, 3 April 2025 (UTC)

I have encountered instances where the ability to review pending changes to articles would prove useful in the prevention of vandalism and would help changes in good faith be accepted more quickly. Having the pending changes reviewer right would allow me to assist new editors with learning the formatting and customs of Wikipedia, and allow me to more effectively prevent vandalism and disruption to articles. I have read all policy regarding the pending changes reviewer right. Thank you for your consideration. wafflerrs talk! 02:49, 5 April 2025 (UTC)

Hello @Wafflerrs. How would PCR help editors learn formatting? That is out of scope of the perm. Otherwise, leaning towards granting. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 08:11, 6 April 2025 (UTC)
Good afternoon @Femke. Thanks for the speedy reply. If I had to deny a pending change due to formatting/MoS issues, I would leave a message on their talk page detailling how to make their edit MoS compliant, and once done approve the edit. wafflerrs talk! 13:44, 6 April 2025 (UTC)
 Done. wafflerrs: Just to make sure that we're on the same page. If somebody introduces a MoS issue and a more substantial improvement at the same time, the expectation is that the change is accepted (and then improved in a next edit). —Femke 🐦 (talk) 13:55, 6 April 2025 (UTC)
@Femke - Yes, certainly, I would probably end up fixing the MoS issue myself and notify the editor about it. wafflerrs talk! 15:17, 6 April 2025 (UTC)

I have been active on Wikipedia, I'd like to request PCR to monitor recent changes. I'm aware of WP:NOTVANDAL & WP:AGF, so there won't be any "biting newcomers" reverts. Srimant ROSHAN (talk) 14:40, 5 April 2025 (UTC)

I'm requesting PCR to help out with reviewing pending changes I notice when patrolling recent changes. I have read and am familiar with the policies. I'd like to think I would make a good reviewer. LightlySeared (talk) 08:08, 6 April 2025 (UTC)
Requests for rollback

Rollback

[edit]

I'm requesting rollback rights to speed up my fight against vandalism. I have about 1,000 edits involving reverting vandalism. I'm also interested in tools such as AntiVandal. TheM1sty (talk) 17:49, 17 March 2025 (UTC)

 Done Aoidh (talk) 03:47, 5 April 2025 (UTC)

I have taken up patrolling recent changes and clear vandalism prevension / sourceless BLP-edits in en-wiki too. I have enough experience of the tool through fi-wiki, where I am a rollbacker, pending changes reviewer and ”page stabilzer” (I think the group closest to it here was called editor?). I know I have under 200 edits too now, but my interest at the time here is vandalism prevention which is hard and takes multiple edits (causes spam in recent changes) without rollback-tool. I would ask for sysops to look at my well trusted global status and experience. Thank you! Osmo Lundell (talk) 20:33, 21 March 2025 (UTC)

 Automated comment This user has 84 edits in the mainspace. MusikBot talk 21:40, 2 April 2025 (UTC)
@Osmo Lundell: Twinkle's red "vandalism" button should revert consecutive edits by the same user in the same way that rollback does. It appears when you view the diff (noting that you have Twinkle enabled). Have you tried doing that? – JensonSL (SilverLocust) 04:56, 25 March 2025 (UTC)
Hey! Thanks for metting me know, I thought that using that button would need the rollback user group. Good to know if it works just like that for everyone! I would still leave my request pending, because rollback is still useful from the recent changes view etc. --Osmo Lundell hey 07:34, 25 March 2025 (UTC)

Hi, I am requesting rollback rights to help combat vandalism and disruptive edits more effectively. I have been patrolling recent changes for the past 30 days, focusing on identifying and reverting vandalism, test edits, and other unconstructive changes. I am familiar with Wikipedia’s policies, including WP:VANDALISM, WP:BLP, and WP:NPOV.

I really wanted to improve Wikipedia by my small contribution. I understand the importance of using rollback responsibly. This permission would allow me to respond more efficiently to inappropriate edits.

I want to also say that I made some silly mistakes in the starting of my patrolling. However, I learnt from them and make sure that they won't happen again. Such as reverting edits that are already reverted, that mistakes you can see on my past contributions.

Thank you for considering my request. Please let me know if any additional information is needed. VortexPhantom Talk 07:35, 29 March 2025 (UTC)

Hi,
Please any administrator review my request. I have already waited a lot, and now I likely to lose my patience too. Please get it done ASAP. It will encourage me to do more quality edits to Wikipedia and help it in improving. VortexPhantom🔥 (talk) 01:24, 4 April 2025 (UTC)

I would like to use rollback perms to more effectively fight vandals on Wikipedia, I am hoping to use Huggle to do this. 𝕟𝕪𝕖𝕦𝕓𝕚𝕞 (talk) 18:55, 5 April 2025 (UTC)
