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 get rid of obvious vandalism.
Request protection of a page, or increasing the protection level
Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level

Temporary extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement – Edit warring related to WP:GS/CASTE. Kline • talk • contribs 20:49, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
Reason: Temporary extended confirmed protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Repeated misuse of the talk page with excessive discussions and comments from various Canadian range IPs that are WP:NOTHERE to contribute constructively and violate WP:NOTAFORUM since October. These have been excessive in a way that is unusual for a draft article. Despite IPs being warned, the inappropriate and unconstructive discussions and comments persist and show no sign of ceasing. Trailblazer101 (talk) 07:00, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
- If there are no disruptive edits from established or confirmed users, only semi is needes Heyaaaaalol (talk) 19:39, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
This is quite an unusual case. I have posted about it at WP:AN#Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse - draft article about a future film seems to be a long-term draft. Yaris678 (talk) 00:46, 29 December 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for taking appropriate action to proceed with this issue. I have responded at that discussion. Trailblazer101 (talk) 01:22, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

- Correct ..... What we have is a block editor IP hopping to do what they will. See User talk:Aoidh#Block evasion for more information.Moxy🍁 22:37, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
Reason: Some anonymous users changed the date of Shrek 5 to August 2, 2026, when the movie was only scheduled for July 1, 2026 per sources.[1] The Media Expert (talk) 22:28, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

Current requests for reduction in protection level
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.
Reason: Page was ECP protected 3 years ago due to an edit war. Cannot contact OhNoItsJamie as talk pages aren’t loading for me Heyaaaaalol (talk) 06:18, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
- Pinging Ohnoitsjamie. — Malcolmxl5 (talk) 12:14, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
- I think lowering protection of that page would be waste of time, but if someone else wants to I won't object. OhNoitsJamie Talk 16:17, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
Current requests for edits 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.
