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 get rid of obvious vandalism.

Pokémon Ultimate Journeys: The Series
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Vandalism over at least one month. Air on White (talk) 04:02, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
Question: @Air on White: Which specific edits are vandalism and why? (Other administrators, please feel free to handle this request after a response or if you believe you have enough information already.) Daniel Quinlan (talk) 04:11, 29 May 2024 (UTC)- Most recent edits add content that does not improve the article while introducing MoS vios that they refuse to discuss even after being reverted. Meanwhile, [1] is an unsourced change. These editors have engaged in disruptive editing and several have been blocked. Air on White (talk) 04:27, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. The one edit you've linked is from May 9th. I'm going to protect the article because there's IP block evasion from a blocked editor, but this would be a declined request otherwise. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 04:56, 29 May 2024 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – The one-month and two-month PP protected from IP vandalism, but each time it started back up again one week after the protection ended. It is the same specific vandalism each time and is being driven by a popular youtuber who is a self-described enemy of the BLP subject. ▶ I am Grorp ◀ 05:22, 29 May 2024 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Recent spate of IP disruptive editing. Amigao (talk) 13:10, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
Hyperia (roller coaster)
Reason: I'm unsure if this is suitable for protection since it's more minor than most cases, but I thought I'd ask just in case: high percentage of disruptive editing (whether intentional or not), mostly from IPs; the easiest to find diffs for was changing infobox parameters to incorrect values (1, 2) and addition of unsourced material (1, 2, 3, 4, 5). It's been persistent since at least the 24th (when the rollercoaster opened). Suntooooth, it/he (talk/contribs) 13:52, 29 May 2024 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Addition of unsourced edits and excessive photos. Johnny Au (talk/contributions) 14:23, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
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.
