Current requests for reduction in protection level

Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the 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.

Current requests for edits to a protected page

Request a specific 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.

I want people to know more about Russians in Japan, which I'm part of since I'm a Japanese citizen with a partial Russian ancestry. By adding slightly few more or maybe even just one more, and writing a lot more about us, I think it's more than enough to make people understand a lot about what Russians in Japan is. By the way, the page dedicated to Russians in Japan is very outdated when I checked it just to let you know, so please let me edit it at bit. Trust me when I say this, I'm sure I can make it look a lot better(not saying that your edits on that page wasn't helpful and bad). Thank you so much!Don't worry! I already got a lot of informations about Russians in Japan from a lot of trustworthy websites. RikuOka0222 ( talk) 05:03, 2 August 2024 (UTC)

I have been editing for over 7 years and I plan on using this permission in order to help with discussions on WP:RM and deal with cross-redirects for articles that should have more disambiguated titles. KingSkyLord ( talk | contribs) 12:46, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

Reason for requesting page mover rights: I want to have my page mover rights extended, as I contribute to RM/TR. Was given 3mo trial and it will end on August 20. Toadette Edit! 08:30, 29 July 2024 (UTC)

 Automated comment This user was granted temporary page mover rights by Robertsky (expires 00:00, 20 August 2024 (UTC)). MusikBot talk 08:40, 29 July 2024 (UTC)

I was granted pagemover rights nearly a month back, but due to mistakes on my part, the rights have been now revoked. So, I am requesting the rights again on Primefac's advice, explaining why I made the mistakes and how I shall avoid those mistakes going forward.

  • On 30 July, I moved British Indian Army to Indian Army (1895–1947) after which Celia Homeford informed me that the move had been unilateral, following which I immediately proceeded to check the talk page of the article for previous RMs, which I did find and had resulted in the move of Indian Army (1895–1947) to British Indian Army. I hadn't checked the talk page before swapping the page and thus had not been aware of this RM when I had swapped — a mistake on my part. I had checked the WP:COMMONNAME of the article and sought to make the article title WP:Consistent with other historical army related articles like German Army (1935–1945) for instance. I should've checked the talk page and it's archives for any previous RMs and discussions before making the swap. That is what I usually do before making a move or a swap, but this step had slipped my mind in this case. In future, I shall make sure to always check the talk page and the archives for RMs and discussions regarding the article title without fail before making a move or a swap.

I've learnt from my mistakes and hope not to repeat them. I also aim to minimise any chance of any other mistakes on my part. PadFoot ( talk) 17:56, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

Rollback

I've been patrolling recent changes for a while now, using Twinkle to warn members. I have over 200 mainspace edits, and I'm extended confirmed with over 700 edits total. I've also been doing NPP for a little too. I'd like to use rollback for more advanced tools such as Huggle and AntiVandal. Thanks, Lord serious pig 06:14, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

I see that you are failing to consistently warn editors when you revert their edits. Why? It's important to leave a notification for every revert you make. Are you aware that we have tools such as Twinkle or Ultraviolet that make this extremely easy? - Fastily 10:34, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
I don’t believe I'm not, @ Fastily:, I warn people using twinkle, here is my warn logs: https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Special%3AContributions&target=Lordseriouspig&namespace=3&tagfilter=twinkle&start=&end=&limit=50. Lord serious pig 20:31, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
I reviewed your contributions from last month and found these within seconds: 1, 2, 3. I'll repeat what I said above: it's important to leave a notification for every revert you make. Are you aware that we have tools such as Twinkle or Ultraviolet that make this extremely easy? - Fastily 08:03, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
I’m unsure why I forgot to add a warning for those, @ Fastily, considering Twinkle automatically opens the talk page, but I usually warn members, and tools like Anti-vandal or Huggle would probable negate me forgetting warns. Thanks, Lord serious pig 10:00, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
No worries, thanks for your honesty. Please ensure that you are always leaving warnings. I can't stress enough the importance of not biting the newcomers; if you find yourself reverting good faith edits, then it's especially important to notify the editor. If you don't want to leave a template warning, that's completely fine, but you do need to leave a talk page message explaining why you reverted the edit. Moving forward, could you please make a promise to leave warnings/notifications for every revert? - Fastily 23:02, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
No problem, I’ll definitely try to leave warnings for every revert I make. Thanks, Lord serious pig 02:57, 2 August 2024 (UTC)

I've been recent changes patrolling on and off with Twinkle, and more recently Ultraviolet, for years now, and would like to try Huggle's more advanced tools. I have over 1.4k mainspace edits, no history of edit warring, and consistently and appropriately notify editors whose changes I revert. P1(she/her, talk/ contribs) 04:18, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

 Not done I noticed you make a handful of edits, and then drop off for months at a time. While I appreciate your enthusiasm, I'd like to see you spend at least a month consistently patrolling RecentChanges ( Twinkle & Ultraviolet can help with that) before reapplying. Also, please ensure that you are always warning editors when you revert their edits. Thanks, Fastily 08:03, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

Template editor

I am a frequent editor and creator of templates and modules, and I have encountered several instances where having the template editor permission would be helpful. Many of my requested edits on protected templates have been performing minor visual fixes or fixing small bugs with the template's logic. For these uncontroversial edits, having to submit a request and involve another editor feels unnecessary, considering the nature of the requested edits. In other cases with more significant changes, going through the edit request process works fine for the most part, but I like to be able to avoid the process because of the backlog the edit queue can have at times and the added potential confusion added by having to request technical changes. Because of this, I'd much rather be able to have a standard discussion on template talk pages, if necessary, followed by implementing the agreed upon changes myself rather than having to request someone else to implement the changes. In the near future, I plan on exploring adding support for the new dark mode to more templates and being able to implement these changes on protected templates myself would be of great help. In the future, I would also like to use my technical knowledge of wikitext and Lua to help with processing the template edit request queue.

Another issue that the template editor permission would resolve is that several templates I've created or rewrote are now template editor protected: Template:For-multi, Template:Country name, Template:Yearly archive list/display, Template:Visible anchor/styles.css, Template:Divbox/styles.css, and Module:Outdent. As a result, I am unable to edit them, which makes several of them difficult to maintain. Per the guidelines, three templates sandboxes I've worked on include Module:Jcon/sandbox, Template:Visible anchor/sandbox/styles.css, and Template:Infobox road/sandbox and at some requested template edits are [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8].

Also, I acknowledge that I performed what ended up being (unintentionally) disruptive templates several years ago. Since then, I have learned a lot about collaborating with others on Wikipedia and being mindful of the impact template edits can have on articles across the wiki. Since then, I have been much more careful with the edits I perform, as these past experiences have shown me the dangers of not doing so. With the template edit permission, I intend to take from these past mistakes, and I will follow the best practices to ensure the template edits I perform are well-tested, agreed upon, and non-disruptive. I find that now I am very cautious with my template edits, and I always create thorough test cases (e.g. Template:Jcon/testcases) before performing changes. BrandonXLF ( talk) 19:08, 28 July 2024 (UTC)

After looking at your contributions I'm inclined to grant, but would like to know if Primefac, EdJohnston, or Galobtter (admins who were involved with the placing and then lifting of your sanctions) have thoughts. Elli ( talk | contribs) 01:39, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
Brandon has definitely matured as an editor since their first go-round with this permission. I've been burned in the past but let's say I'm cautiously optimistic. Primefac ( talk) 12:11, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
 Done for a three-month trial period. Feel free to request again in October and assuming there weren't any issues in the meantime, I'll be happy to grant the permission indefinitely. Elli ( talk | contribs) 18:11, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

    I want people to know more about Russians in Japan, which I'm part of since I'm a Japanese citizen with a partial Russian ancestry. By adding slightly few more or maybe even just one more, and writing a lot more about us, I think it's more than enough to make people understand a lot about what Russians in Japan is. By the way, the page dedicated to Russians in Japan is very outdated when I checked it just to let you know, so please let me edit it at bit. Trust me when I say this, I'm sure I can make it look a lot better(not saying that your edits on that page wasn't helpful and bad). Thank you so much!Don't worry! I already got a lot of informations about Russians in Japan from a lot of trustworthy websites. RikuOka0222 ( talk) 05:03, 2 August 2024 (UTC)

    I have been editing for over 7 years and I plan on using this permission in order to help with discussions on WP:RM and deal with cross-redirects for articles that should have more disambiguated titles. KingSkyLord ( talk | contribs) 12:46, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

    Reason for requesting page mover rights: I want to have my page mover rights extended, as I contribute to RM/TR. Was given 3mo trial and it will end on August 20. Toadette Edit! 08:30, 29 July 2024 (UTC)

     Automated comment This user was granted temporary page mover rights by Robertsky (expires 00:00, 20 August 2024 (UTC)). MusikBot talk 08:40, 29 July 2024 (UTC)

    I was granted pagemover rights nearly a month back, but due to mistakes on my part, the rights have been now revoked. So, I am requesting the rights again on Primefac's advice, explaining why I made the mistakes and how I shall avoid those mistakes going forward.

    • On 30 July, I moved British Indian Army to Indian Army (1895–1947) after which Celia Homeford informed me that the move had been unilateral, following which I immediately proceeded to check the talk page of the article for previous RMs, which I did find and had resulted in the move of Indian Army (1895–1947) to British Indian Army. I hadn't checked the talk page before swapping the page and thus had not been aware of this RM when I had swapped — a mistake on my part. I had checked the WP:COMMONNAME of the article and sought to make the article title WP:Consistent with other historical army related articles like German Army (1935–1945) for instance. I should've checked the talk page and it's archives for any previous RMs and discussions before making the swap. That is what I usually do before making a move or a swap, but this step had slipped my mind in this case. In future, I shall make sure to always check the talk page and the archives for RMs and discussions regarding the article title without fail before making a move or a swap.

    I've learnt from my mistakes and hope not to repeat them. I also aim to minimise any chance of any other mistakes on my part. PadFoot ( talk) 17:56, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

    Rollback

    I've been patrolling recent changes for a while now, using Twinkle to warn members. I have over 200 mainspace edits, and I'm extended confirmed with over 700 edits total. I've also been doing NPP for a little too. I'd like to use rollback for more advanced tools such as Huggle and AntiVandal. Thanks, Lord serious pig 06:14, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

    I see that you are failing to consistently warn editors when you revert their edits. Why? It's important to leave a notification for every revert you make. Are you aware that we have tools such as Twinkle or Ultraviolet that make this extremely easy? - Fastily 10:34, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
    I don’t believe I'm not, @ Fastily:, I warn people using twinkle, here is my warn logs: https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Special%3AContributions&target=Lordseriouspig&namespace=3&tagfilter=twinkle&start=&end=&limit=50. Lord serious pig 20:31, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
    I reviewed your contributions from last month and found these within seconds: 1, 2, 3. I'll repeat what I said above: it's important to leave a notification for every revert you make. Are you aware that we have tools such as Twinkle or Ultraviolet that make this extremely easy? - Fastily 08:03, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
    I’m unsure why I forgot to add a warning for those, @ Fastily, considering Twinkle automatically opens the talk page, but I usually warn members, and tools like Anti-vandal or Huggle would probable negate me forgetting warns. Thanks, Lord serious pig 10:00, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
    No worries, thanks for your honesty. Please ensure that you are always leaving warnings. I can't stress enough the importance of not biting the newcomers; if you find yourself reverting good faith edits, then it's especially important to notify the editor. If you don't want to leave a template warning, that's completely fine, but you do need to leave a talk page message explaining why you reverted the edit. Moving forward, could you please make a promise to leave warnings/notifications for every revert? - Fastily 23:02, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
    No problem, I’ll definitely try to leave warnings for every revert I make. Thanks, Lord serious pig 02:57, 2 August 2024 (UTC)

    I've been recent changes patrolling on and off with Twinkle, and more recently Ultraviolet, for years now, and would like to try Huggle's more advanced tools. I have over 1.4k mainspace edits, no history of edit warring, and consistently and appropriately notify editors whose changes I revert. P1(she/her, talk/ contribs) 04:18, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

     Not done I noticed you make a handful of edits, and then drop off for months at a time. While I appreciate your enthusiasm, I'd like to see you spend at least a month consistently patrolling RecentChanges ( Twinkle & Ultraviolet can help with that) before reapplying. Also, please ensure that you are always warning editors when you revert their edits. Thanks, Fastily 08:03, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

    Template editor

    I am a frequent editor and creator of templates and modules, and I have encountered several instances where having the template editor permission would be helpful. Many of my requested edits on protected templates have been performing minor visual fixes or fixing small bugs with the template's logic. For these uncontroversial edits, having to submit a request and involve another editor feels unnecessary, considering the nature of the requested edits. In other cases with more significant changes, going through the edit request process works fine for the most part, but I like to be able to avoid the process because of the backlog the edit queue can have at times and the added potential confusion added by having to request technical changes. Because of this, I'd much rather be able to have a standard discussion on template talk pages, if necessary, followed by implementing the agreed upon changes myself rather than having to request someone else to implement the changes. In the near future, I plan on exploring adding support for the new dark mode to more templates and being able to implement these changes on protected templates myself would be of great help. In the future, I would also like to use my technical knowledge of wikitext and Lua to help with processing the template edit request queue.

    Another issue that the template editor permission would resolve is that several templates I've created or rewrote are now template editor protected: Template:For-multi, Template:Country name, Template:Yearly archive list/display, Template:Visible anchor/styles.css, Template:Divbox/styles.css, and Module:Outdent. As a result, I am unable to edit them, which makes several of them difficult to maintain. Per the guidelines, three templates sandboxes I've worked on include Module:Jcon/sandbox, Template:Visible anchor/sandbox/styles.css, and Template:Infobox road/sandbox and at some requested template edits are [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8].

    Also, I acknowledge that I performed what ended up being (unintentionally) disruptive templates several years ago. Since then, I have learned a lot about collaborating with others on Wikipedia and being mindful of the impact template edits can have on articles across the wiki. Since then, I have been much more careful with the edits I perform, as these past experiences have shown me the dangers of not doing so. With the template edit permission, I intend to take from these past mistakes, and I will follow the best practices to ensure the template edits I perform are well-tested, agreed upon, and non-disruptive. I find that now I am very cautious with my template edits, and I always create thorough test cases (e.g. Template:Jcon/testcases) before performing changes. BrandonXLF ( talk) 19:08, 28 July 2024 (UTC)

    After looking at your contributions I'm inclined to grant, but would like to know if Primefac, EdJohnston, or Galobtter (admins who were involved with the placing and then lifting of your sanctions) have thoughts. Elli ( talk | contribs) 01:39, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
    Brandon has definitely matured as an editor since their first go-round with this permission. I've been burned in the past but let's say I'm cautiously optimistic. Primefac ( talk) 12:11, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
     Done for a three-month trial period. Feel free to request again in October and assuming there weren't any issues in the meantime, I'll be happy to grant the permission indefinitely. Elli ( talk | contribs) 18:11, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
