Wikipedia:Requests for page protection
 | This page has an administrative backlog that requires the attention of willing administrators. Please replace this notice with {{no admin backlog}} when the backlog is cleared. |
| 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 remove obvious vandalism.
Request addition of protection to a page, or increasing the current protection level
Request removal of protection from a page, or reducing the current protection level
Request a specific edit be made to a protected page
Request the non-urgent protection of multiple pages that do not require immediate administrator attention

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Recently released anti-immigrant film being bandied about in online campaigns for positive promos which are of course attracting the usual disruptions at the article by new/temp accounts. Gotitbro (talk) 11:29, 23 June 2026 (UTC)
Reason: Take the heat out of the edit war that appears to have been going on for the last 2 or 3 days. • a frantic turtle 🐢 solidarity 12:20, 23 June 2026 (UTC)
Extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement – Continued disruption by non-ECP editors. This subject covers Indian caste, such articles are required to be under ECP protection as per ArbCom ruling.[1]. THEZDRX (User) | (Contact) 13:19, 23 June 2026 (UTC)
Temporary pending changes: BLP policy violations – Repeated WP:BLPCRIME violations. Repeated addition of unsourced details about the suspects by temporary accounts/new users. Hariboneagle927 (talk) 14:22, 23 June 2026 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protected: An unregistered user keeps targeting Linkin Park related articles like this one. They vandalize their new song articles and their new vocalist, Emily Armstrong, performing the same edits with the same edit summaries. They always come back with a different unregistered account so warnings and blocks are not enough. The article, Unshatter, was protected recently for a period of one year because of the vandalism. I think this article needs to be temporarily protected too. Bowling is life (talk) 14:51, 23 June 2026 (UTC)
Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Most TAs were recently making edits that change dates without providing a reliable source. Love my dreams (talk) 16:38, 23 June 2026 (UTC)
Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – WP:CT/SA article subject to the usual drive by disruptions by new/temp accounts. The PP logs also tell a history of past socking (likely the one edit warring now) and vandalism. Gotitbro (talk) 17:16, 23 June 2026 (UTC)
Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing. AriuCH (talk) 17:45, 23 June 2026 (UTC)
User(s) blocked. And IP range p-blocked 3 months. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 19:03, 23 June 2026 (UTC)
- @Rsjaffe Thank you for your attention and handling. AriuCH (talk) 21:17, 23 June 2026 (UTC)
Reason: High level of ip vandalism Myuoh kaka roi (talk) 18:04, 23 June 2026 (UTC)
Semi-protection: BLP policy violations. –Skywatcher68 (talk) 18:44, 23 June 2026 (UTC)
Reason: Recently a diplomatic Polish-Ukrainian conflict erupted when the Polish President Karol Nawrocki stripped the Order of the White Eagle from the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and this conflict resulted in mass, non-consensual removal of content in Wikipedia's article Order of the White Eagle (Poland) which present not only the Polish point of view about this conflict, but also present the Ukrainians point of view about this conflict, based on Ukrainian and other non-Polish sources. Currently, in the article an anonymous user aggressively provoke edit warring and attempt to deny WP:NPOV in this article by presenting the matter only based on the Polish point of view and by completely removing the Ukrainian officials point of view and related reliable sources (see these edits: 1, 2, 3). The nearly total removal of valuable and cited content about this Polish-Ukrainian conflict was protested not only by me, but also by another user Altenmann (see: his edit). Consequently, I think that it is necessary to apply protection to this article which would prevent anonymous unregistered users to perform mass, non-consensual removal of valuable and cited content. I suggest to apply such protection for at least 2-3 months (maybe this Polish-Ukrainian conflict will cool down in a few months) and revert any further content removals by this anonymous user in this article (if he will do that until the protection is applied to this article). -- Pofka (talk) 19:00, 23 June 2026 (UTC)
- Protection No longer necessary: this was a major political upheaval, so I split Polish Order of the White Eagle controversy. --Altenmann >talk 19:08, 23 June 2026 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Repeated unexplained content removals and insertion of unsupported information. Raskuly 🐰 20:25, 23 June 2026 (UTC)
Extended confirmed protection: Persistent vandalism. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 21:15, 23 June 2026 (UTC)
Declined – No changes to the current protection level are required at this point in time. One autoconfirmed editor vandalized and was blocked by admins. Otherwise, page is quiet. Admins never gonna let you down. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 21:26, 23 June 2026 (UTC)
Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Vandalism by numerous temp accounts over the past few days. Streetr4 (talk) 21:36, 23 June 2026 (UTC)
Extended confirmed protection: Persistent disruptive editing. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 21:43, 23 June 2026 (UTC)
Reason: High level of temporary account vandalism recently, likely due to recent films. End (talk) 21:51, 23 June 2026 (UTC)
Semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Edit warring from multiple brand new accounts. ᴸᵃᶠᶠʸTaffer💬(they/she) In solidarity 21:59, 23 June 2026 (UTC)
Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement – Part of the Armenian–Azerbaijani war (1918–1920), this article has been edited quite regularly by non-extended confirmed editors, in violation of CT:A-A. CoffeeCrumbs (talk) 22:18, 23 June 2026 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Repeated additions of portraits to the infobox without evidence they are freely licensed. ―Howard • 🌽33 23:23, 23 June 2026 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Ongoing event, no need for fake additions to table. MakaylaHippo1998 (talk) 23:33, 23 June 2026 (UTC)
Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. 1234qwer1234qwer4 23:37, 23 June 2026 (UTC)
Current requests for reduction in protection level
Unprotection: Was originally going to have a temporary semi protection, but was later changed to indefinite only because "anons shouldn't edit this page." That was 16 years ago, and I highly doubt vandals are still interested on this page. Besides, Circle jerk is not protected. Also the disambiguation page is very rarely edited and has a low view count (only around 10 per day).
P.S.: I used edit source because I can't figure out how to change the "Reason" text to something like "Unprotection." MrCleanAd (talk) 10:23, 22 June 2026 (UTC)

Current requests for edits to a protected page
Please create redirect to from General Shafter to William Rufus Shafter for this US Army General. Guylaen (talk) 23:44, 22 June 2026 (UTC)
- You're extended-confirmed and neither General Shafter nor William Rufus Shafter is protected. Is there a reason you can't just do it yourself? Sumanuil. (talk to me) 01:53, 23 June 2026 (UTC)
On 23/06/2026 UN News reported "Israel continues to commit genocide, atrocity crimes by deliberately targeting Palestinian children, UN independent commission finds". This should be added as a source for the first line of this page were it says that the genocide is "ongoing". I'm aware that there were discussions in the talk page on whether it is ongoing and this seems to be a strong source that it is. ~2026-36609-98 (talk) 21:38, 23 June 2026 (UTC)
- Can you provide a link to the specific source? —Jéské Couriano v^_^v Object Class: Drygioni 22:46, 23 June 2026 (UTC)
There's two of the same links (which is Tung Tung Tung Sahur) beside each other, and we don't need two links beside each other. It makes more sense to just only have one link.
From this:
- Tung Tung Tung Sahur
- Tung Tung Tung Sahur is an anthropomorphic wooden log who holds a wooden bat.
To this:
- Tung Tung Tung Sahur
- An anthropomorphic wooden log who holds a wooden bat.
There's two of them beside each other, so it's reasonable to remove the other one. Budew1234 (talk) 22:53, 23 June 2026 (UTC)
