Wikipedia:Requests for page protection
 | This page has an administrative backlog that requires the attention of willing administrators. Please replace this notice with {{no admin backlog}} when the backlog is cleared. |
| 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 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 | ||

Current requests for reduction in protection level
Before posting, first discuss with the protecting admin at 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: It was protected over 12 years ago for disruptive editing relating to her death however she has been dead for a while now and I think pending changes or unprotection would be more appropriate 2601:282:4700:272:35EC:1622:12BA:FC6D (talk) 03:12, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
- Not unprotected – Please use an edit request to request specific changes to be made to the protected page. Talk:Whitney Houston is not protected. Favonian (talk) 12:20, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
Reason: The person who the article is about has since become much more notable and their platform has grown significantly. The page protection was placed more than 8 years ago and no longer applies. BOITOTHEBOI (talk) 07:37, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
- Declined I suppose this is abut the content in your sandbox...so my suggestion is to you let this run via the process laid out at Wikipedia:Articles for creation. If it is accepted, protection can easily be lifted. Lectonar (talk) 08:38, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
- Okay, so even though I am an autoconfirmed user, I have to go through the process of getting the article confirmed? The protection that's currently on the name is no longer valid. BOITOTHEBOI (talk) 09:20, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
- It was a gentle suggestion, as writing an article is a difficult undertaking at best, especially if done the first time. Going via AfC is a good thing in multiple ways: you gain experience, you get feedback from seasoned editors, and it may help avoid mistakes which might get the article deleted rather quickly. A quick link to WP:YOUTUBE also seems to be appropriate. I stand by my decision not to unprotect, but if another admin wants to do so: be my guest. Lectonar (talk) 09:53, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
- Okay, so even though I am an autoconfirmed user, I have to go through the process of getting the article confirmed? The protection that's currently on the name is no longer valid. BOITOTHEBOI (talk) 09:20, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
Reason: The user who requested protection (User:DJ InstaMalik) has been blocked as a sockpuppet account of the page creator, and they were likely attempting to misuse page protection for ulterior motives. Upon reviewing the page history, most IP edits appear to be constructive, so this protection would seem unnecessary. Since I’m unable to post on the protecting admin’s talk page, I’m submitting the request here. 2405:201:D002:319D:E5F7:B9B3:B48E:C0E (talk) 08:13, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Daniel Case: Any thoughts? Lectonar (talk) 08:40, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
Current requests for edits 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.
The title is misleading - there have been none in Wales. The page mentions N Wales Police sending reinforcements, and says that there were anti-fascist gatherings in Cardiff to protest expected events that did not happen and 'some far-right demonstrators outside the Senedd, though no conflict materialised' So no riots in Wales.
