    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.

    Request protection of a page, or increasing the protection level
    Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level
    Request a specific edit to a protected page
    Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here

    Dmitry Medvedev

    Indefinite extended-confirmed protection: Contentious topic restriction. Supports Russia and has repeatedly condemned Ukraine. The Invasion and the war altogether are contentious topics. 🗽Freedoxm🗽(talk • contribs) 02:51, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Flow (2024 film)

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Persistent vandalism by multiple IP users. Areaseven (talk) 03:34, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    2026 Arizona gubernatorial election

    Reason: IP user continuously attempts to add an endorsement on the page cited to social media posts, in violation of WP:ENDORSE, which states that "lists of endorsements should only include endorsements which have been covered by reliable independent sources." Despite being told this over and over again, they refuse to listen. Here's a quote from their most recent edit summary: "WP:ENDORSE requires endorsements to be 'verifiable by reliable sources' but does not mandate that they be covered solely by independent sources." This was after I sent them the aforementioned quote. I feel like I'm bashing my head against the wall, I don't know how to reason with this person. Please do something about this because I'm afraid they're never going to stop. BottleOfChocolateMilk (talk) 03:35, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    2025 massacres of Syrian Alawites

    Reason: High level of IP vandalism on contentious subject in the news. BobFromBrockley (talk) 04:01, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Canadian Armed Forces

    Reason: Persistent IP user(s) preemptively changing infobox parameters in light of recent news of the expected changeover from Justin Trudeau and Mark Carney. Leventio (talk) 04:28, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – IPs keep inserting "Greek Cypriot" and similar, with no citations. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 06:13, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    March 2025 lunar eclipse

    Temporary semi-protection: There is a back and forth over what image should be used in the infobox. Since this just happened, semi protection temporarily would prevent constant image changing by IP addresses. Ktkvtsh (talk) 08:20, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary pending changes protection: Persistent Disruptive Editing. Indian IP seems to be offended that an arabic word translates to "Pig" in their completely unrelated language for this topic and keeps on trying to change it 𐩣𐩫𐩧𐩨 Abo Yemen (𓃵) 14:11, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Zhang Zhidong

    Reason: Persistent changing of infobox image by LTA IP since November 2024; reverted by multiple editors. Same LTA editor has been returning to this article since at least December 2021. - RovingPersonalityConstruct (talk, contribs) 14:24, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Pending changes: Persistent vandalism. Skywatcher68 (talk) 14:38, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    2024–present Serbian anti-corruption protests

    Reason: Repeated vandalism, mostly IP but sometimes by newly registered users. Minimal constructive edits from IP users. It's also an ongoing controversial, contentious topic, which puts the article at a more strict encyclopedic standard. In addition, the topic is high-profile with various political views involved in the current events, which could potentially conflicting with the neutrality of the article, if anyone can edit it. Requesting indefinite semi-protection. Pradedovići (talk) 16:00, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Pokrovsk offensive order of battle

    Reason: WP:GSRUSUKR; IPs adding unsourced or poorly sourced content. SaintPaulOfTarsus (talk) 18:39, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    ISO 8601

    Reason: Repeated edits by anon IPs removing reference to the commonly-used epoch for ISO 8601 dates, presumably due to relevance to current political issues. (Should be fine to leave open to editing by actual logged-in users for now.) Auros (talk) 19:10, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    There are political issues connected to May 20, 1875. But the date is no longer in the ISO 8601 standard and the removals by certain IP editors were well reasoned. Jc3s5h (talk) 21:14, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Talk:Rent control in the United States

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – I know we don't typically protect talk pages, but the majority of the history of this one consists of IP socks of Pedrote112 (talk · contribs) complaining about Wikipedia, posting personal attacks and/or links to off-wiki personal attacks. A temporary protection of Talk:Rent regulation quelled similar disruption there for a while, please do the same again for this page. MrOllie (talk) 22:36, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Austin Haynes (actor)

    Semi-protection: BLP policy violations – There are several problems related to this page. I suspect that the two editors doing frequent reverts, which include an uncited DOB for a child, are the same person (i.e. sockpuppet) and probably COI. I'm not sure where else to report this, but in the meantime can the page be semi-protected so that I can restore it to a version which does not include exact DOB (per WP:DOB), in the first instance, please?.

    Current requests for reduction in protection level

    Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the 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

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