Requests for page protection


Current requests for increase in protection level

Request protection of a page, or increasing the protection level

Place requests for new or upgrading pending changes, semi-protection, full protection, move protection, create protection, template editor protection, or upload protection at the BOTTOM of this section. Check the archive of fulfilled and denied requests or, failing that, the page history if you cannot find your request. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.

Module:Documentation

Indefinite full protection: Used on basically every template page. There should be little if any reason for anyone, even template editors, to be editing this module, and just like other messages used in the MediaWiki interface and other templates and modules used on hundreds of thousands to millions of pages, should be fully protected to reduce the possibility of mistakes. Awesome Aasim 18:32, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

Already protected by administrator Mr. Stradivarius. At template-editor level since 2014. Daniel Case ( talk) 03:21, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
@ Daniel Case Yes it is template protected. What I was commenting is that a template that has almost no reason for anyone, even template editors, to edit, and that is used on almost every page in Template: space and every page in Module: space, should probably be fully protected instead of template protected. It is also used in the MediaWiki interface, and templates used there are also fully protected. For the same reason Template:Blocked text and Template:Protected page text are fully (not template) protected. Awesome Aasim 03:37, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

Wikipedia

Extended confirmed protection: Persistent vandalism – Evidently semi-protection hasn't stopped vandals from targetring this article. Most recently was a guy who replaced the entire contents with an audience-insulting tautology followed by the lyrics of The Duck Song. – LaundryPizza03 ( d ) 01:18, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

Extended confirmed protected indefinitely. Might as well just leave it there as we have put it on temporary ECP several times before only to keep having to do it again. Yes, I appreciate the irony of doing it to this article (and of course I freely admit I have a serious conflict of interest here, but then again so does everyone else editing this article ), but this has become inevitable. Daniel Case ( talk) 03:51, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

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.

    "Do you want to take a survey?"

    On Feb. 12, 2005, I did a random pages survey. Out of 100 random pages, only 1 was a U.S. town. That's progress. Three towns in the UK, 1 in Spain and 1 in Portugal also turned up. Overall biographies were the largest category at 22%, followed by geography with 15% total. Then Lists at 7%, Disambiguation pages at 6%.

    On Feb. 24, 2006, I repeated the 100 random page survey, this time getting 5 U.S. towns. Overall, geography had 26%, biography 21%, fiction 9%, music 4%, colleges 4%, lists 3% and disambigs 4%. Clearly geography and biography are our largest areas. Music, science and business scored less than I expected. Non-individual History was hardly discernable.

    Even by Feb. 2005, 100 out of almost 500,000 was not statistically significant but was as much as I had patience for.

    Short To Do list

    Early Anon work, no need to bug the developers

    Up to Dec 16, 2003, all the edits at these anonymous id's were mine (59 edits):

    More recently 1,250 or so edits on 75.41.110.200 are apparently all mine. Apparently my new ID is 75.41.109.190. There are undoubtedly many others as the earliest history of many articles was not preserved by the software.

    List of most of my original pictures and some maps

    For copyright declaration purposes The following photographs and diagrams on Wikipedia were taken by and uploaded by me and released under GNU-FDL:

    • Update March 21, 2006 by searching with Interiot's Tool (no longer updated - [1] does edit counts though)

    Pictures

    Maps

    Numerous locator maps for U.S. national parks like Image:LocMap Big Bend National Park.png and Image:LocMap Tongariro National Park.png - most now replaced by dynamic map system

    Extended confirmed protection: Persistent vandalism – Evidently semi-protection hasn't stopped vandals from targetring this article.

    Extended confirmed protected indefinitely. Might as well just leave it there as we have put it on temporary ECP several times before only to keep having to do it again. Yes, I appreciate the irony of doing it to this article (and of course I freely admit I have a serious conflict of interest here, but then again so does everyone else editing this article ), but this has become inevitable.

    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.

      "Do you want to take a survey?"

      On Feb. 12, 2005, I did a random pages survey. Out of 100 random pages, only 1 was a U.S. town. That's progress. Three towns in the UK, 1 in Spain and 1 in Portugal also turned up. Overall biographies were the largest category at 22%, followed by geography with 15% total. Then Lists at 7%, Disambiguation pages at 6%.

      On Feb. 24, 2006, I repeated the 100 random page survey, this time getting 5 U.S. towns. Overall, geography had 26%, biography 21%, fiction 9%, music 4%, colleges 4%, lists 3% and disambigs 4%. Clearly geography and biography are our largest areas. Music, science and business scored less than I expected. Non-individual History was hardly discernable.

      Even by Feb. 2005, 100 out of almost 500,000 was not statistically significant but was as much as I had patience for.

      Early Anon work, no need to bug the developers

      Up to Dec 16, 2003, all the edits at these anonymous id's were mine (59 edits):

      More recently 1,250 or so edits on 75.41.110.200 are apparently all mine. Apparently my new ID is 75.41.109.190. There are undoubtedly many others as the earliest history of many articles was not preserved by the software.
