Wikipedia:Requests for page protection

Page semi-protected

"WP:RFP" and "WP:RPP" redirect here. You may also be looking for Wikipedia:Requests for permissions, Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission, or Wikipedia:Random page patrol.
    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.

    Template:Current event

    Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Match protection of redirect target. Not many transclusions at any one time, but tends to be translcuded in pages with millions of daily views. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 07:12, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    The target is protected at the template editor level, not extended confirmed level. Ymblanter (talk) 09:04, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Zzuuzz: You very recently ECP protected Template:Current event. Perhaps that should be template-editor protected to match the redirect target {{Current}}? I'm not sure of standard procedure but it seems desirable to me. Johnuniq (talk) 09:15, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I based the level on several factors, including the current vandal and likely vandals, reverters and other editors, that it's a lesser used redirect, and indeed activity at the redirect target (whose protection level was also recently changed). I'm content, however I have absolutely no objections if someone else wants to adjust it. -- zzuuzz (talk) 09:22, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Template:Bubsy series

    Reason: Ongoing edit war involves around if a fan game based on Bubsy should be listed. NatwonTSGTALK 16:46, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 21:23, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    User talk:Aj631314

    Temporary semi-protection: Inappropriate use of user talk page while blocked. Jalen Folf (Bark[s]) 22:31, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – No changes to the current protection level are required at this point in time. It's better to change the block settings as detailed in WP:UTPROT. I'm going to leave that decision to the administrators already participating on the page. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 22:44, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    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 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.

    Talk:Attempted_assassination_of_Donald_Trump

    Reason: If I'm reading the logs correctly, this protection carried over from a page of the same name created in 2020. That page was protected for violations of BLP. There doesn't seem to be any reason for the current incarnation of the page to be protected. 2403:6200:8810:F964:B067:4711:4774:5642 (talk) 09:21, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    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.

    Attempted assassination of Donald Trump

    The Investigation section should be removed because it duplicates the Perpetrator section 61.69.211.5 (talk) 06:36, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
