Wikipedia:Requests for page protection
| Welcome—request protection of a page, file, or template here. | ||
|---|---|---|
|
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 remove obvious vandalism.
Request addition of protection to a page, or increasing the current protection level
Request removal of protection from a page, or reducing the current protection level
Request a specific edit be made to a protected page
Request the non-urgent protection of multiple pages that do not require immediate administrator attention

Semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry. Block evasion by User:Dealer07. ~2026-59940-48 (talk) 06:00, 13 November 2026 (UTC)
Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Recent outburst was first episode in four months. Daniel Case (talk) 03:25, 14 November 2026 (UTC)
Temporary pending changes: Persistent sockpuppetry. Block evasion by User:Dealer07. ~2026-59940-48 (talk) 06:10, 13 November 2026 (UTC)
- Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Very minimal disruption aside from recent socking. Daniel Case (talk) 03:30, 14 November 2026 (UTC)
Reason: Some users are again and again editing the page with under decision things without any valid citation. S19072000P (talk) 07:14, 13 November 2026 (UTC)
Consider the edit warring noticeboard – This is a case of possible edit-warring by one or two users. Daniel Case (talk) 03:32, 14 November 2026 (UTC)
Reason: Some users repeatedly edit the page with unsubstantiated claims without any valid citations. S19072000P (talk) 07:15, 13 November 2026 (UTC)
- Consider the edit warring noticeboard – This is a case of possible edit-warring by one or two users. Daniel Case (talk) 03:33, 14 November 2026 (UTC)
Reason: Persistent addition of unsourced content by temporary accounts. Material on a “Delhi–Ahmedabad–Mumbai Interoperability Mega Terminal” contradicts the article’s cited history, has no reliable-source coverage, and keeps being restored by temporary accounts after removal per WP:BURDEN and WP:V. The information cannot be found in any external sources either. Content is also possibly AI generated. See Talk:Delhi–Ahmedabad high-speed rail corridor. Shashwatpnsk (talk) 07:50, 13 November 2026 (UTC)
- The vandaliser appears to have created yet another temporary account to restore previously removed, unsourced content and undo cleanup efforts. Urgent page protection is needed to prevent further disruption, as editors cannot be expected to engage in an endless cycle of reverts. Shashwatpnsk (talk) 18:55, 13 November 2026 (UTC)
- Consider the edit warring noticeboard – This is a case of possible edit-warring by one or two users. Since the two TAs are on the same IP range, a block would work if they go that far. That also is, if you bringing this up on a talk page doesn't, either. Daniel Case (talk) 03:36, 14 November 2026 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content. Danners430 tweaks made 07:54, 13 November 2026 (UTC)
- Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Just the two incidences today. Let's see how they react to your talk page message. Daniel Case (talk) 03:39, 14 November 2026 (UTC)
Reason: Repeated edits by an anonymous editor that has engaged in personal attacks. Anon claims "hetero-bias"/"gooner-bias" in persistent edits to the lead. Attempts to discuss have shown unwillingness to compromise, even when pointed out their edits are adding WP:WEASEL words to the lead that alter its coverage. Kung Fu Man (talk) 18:06, 13 November 2026 (UTC)
User(s) blocked: ~2026-59685-53 (talk · contribs) blocked by EvergreenFir. Indef; underlying range also blocked three years. Daniel Case (talk) 04:22, 14 November 2026 (UTC)
Reason: Youtuber zealand is playing the game football manager and using this team. This seems to result in some viewers vandalizing the page adding him as manager etc.
Similar ting happened to the UD Melilla in the past Øln (talk) 21:15, 13 November 2026 (UTC)
- Temporary Pending changes protection until zealand is done playing with this football club is likely sufficient Øln (talk) 21:24, 13 November 2026 (UTC)
Question: About how long would that be? Daniel Case (talk) 04:35, 14 November 2026 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Otisu(talk) 23:10, 13 November 2026 (UTC)
- Automated comment: A request for protection/unprotection for one or more pages in this request was recently made, and was denied at some point within the last 8 days.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 23:14, 13 November 2026 (UTC)
- IP address(es) blocked by Daniel Case. Underlying range blocked for three months Daniel Case (talk) 04:43, 14 November 2026 (UTC)
Reason: Repeated anonymous account insertion of unsourced material (changing "baritone" to "bass" in the voice line) Deveroonie (talk) 23:45, 13 November 2026 (UTC)
- User(s) blocked. All TAs, and underlying range for two weeks. Daniel Case (talk) 04:47, 14 November 2026 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – This is a current event receiving a lot of coverage and is being updated frequently. It is being targeted for vandalism and hate speech repeatedly in a short period. S1mply.dogmom (talk) 23:48, 13 November 2026 (UTC)
- Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Heavily edited, yes, but while some of it may be coming from angry would-be flyers stuck in airports overnight there's not a lot of disruption in evidence. Daniel Case (talk) 04:49, 14 November 2026 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Self-promotional TAIV resuming their activity when the previous protection expired. Aoidh (talk) 04:29, 14 November 2026 (UTC)
Semi-protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Dr vulpes (Talk) 05:00, 14 November 2026 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Persistent reintroduction of unsourced mention of PTSD to the lead by a /64 range’s TAs going back to early November, edit warring against multiple other editors and ignoring requests to engage on the Talk page and other attempts at communication. signed, Rosguill talk 04:44, 14 November 2026 (UTC)
- Semi-protected for a period of one week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Daniel Case (talk) 05:04, 14 November 2026 (UTC)
Current requests for reduction in protection level
Unprotection: Will be the Article for Improvement and on the main page in two days. The AfI should be unprotected so that potential new users can edit the page. InfernoHues (talk) 06:40, 14 November 2026 (UTC)
