    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.

    Temporary extended confirmed protection: High level of vandalism happening in this article Myuoh kaka roi (talk) 07:15, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Ligier European Series and child articles

    Reason: Editing war by IP users that changes his IP. He was originally block due his conduct here. He kept changing his IP to evade block and kept editing using IP's 83.determined mostly on the above articles talk pages, on of his talk page (and also on Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Help desk 17 of march) mostly attacking other users. One of the IP's was taken to ANI and determined to be a sock (User talk:83.142.111.2). He keeps edit warring trying to reinstate content written during the block and that seeks conflict and just that.Rpo.castro (talk) 09:15, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    I’d like to point that the it is the talk pages of these articles that the IP keeps disrupting with their most recent edits.Tvx1 12:08, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Pakistan Super League

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Lots of spammy links being added over the last week or so. Multiple reverts. Mainly by IPs. Worth a go at temp semi protection to try to stop it in the run up to this year's competition. Blue Square Thing (talk) 12:58, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of two years, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. We have a long history of short periods of protection of this article which, apparently, has done nothing to mitigate the issue. Chetsford (talk) 08:44, 23 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Hurricane Helene

    Reason: Someone is continuously readding an uncited damage estimate and vandalizing the article over the past 10 days. Hoguert (talk) 18:24, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Oday Dabbagh

    Reason: WP:BLP and WP:CT/A-I issues. Subject was born in East Jerusalem and there is an ongoing talk page discussion about what country, if any, the infobox should mention. Nobody at all has contributed to the discussion - I shared it on the Israel and Palestine WikiProjects - but there are still IPs who add that he was born in "Israel", which is highly contentious and thoroughly disputable.

    El Salvador national football team

    Reason: IP range persistently adds a non-free image to the article despite warnings, a note on the page saying to not do this, and even a block. The IP range was blocked yesterday and is still currently blocked, but the vandalism continues regardless. PizzaKing13 (¡Hablame!) 🍕👑 19:19, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing. Kajmer05 (talk) 21:02, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Turkish war crimes

    Reason: High level of IP vandalism. If you take a look at the revision history of the page, you will see at least two IP editors vandalising the article by falsifying the R.J. Runmel estimate stating that the Ottomans killed 3,500,000 to 4,300,000 to 5.3 or 5.7 million instead, pulling these numbers out of nowhere and not providing any source. 47.51.12.122 (talk) 23:33, 22 March 2025 (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 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.

    Power Rangers Samurai

    Unprotection: 14 years of protection with little vandalism or disruption. Thepharoah17 (talk) 23:34, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    @Black Kite: pinging protecting admin. Daniel Case (talk) 02:30, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Edward Smith (sea captain)

    No protection: Testing whether long-term protection is still needed. I doubt that it is still needed. There has been no vandalism in the past 10 years since it was protected. The protecting admin is unfortunately not with us anymore so that is why I am requesting unprotection here. 🗽Freedoxm🗽(talk • contribs) 05:49, 23 March 2025 (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.
