    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: Persistent disruptive editing. Simply impossible to communicate with an IP hopper to get them to the talk page. Moxy🍁 22:02, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Adult human female

    Reason: IP edit warring. Snokalok (talk) 22:25, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Snokalok is being disruptive by not providing any reasoning for their edits. How am I supposed to know why my edits are wrong? Please temporarily block Snokalok until they have read the guideline regarding edit summaries.2A02:810D:BC82:1E00:6CE7:AB53:24D9:B09E (talk) 22:28, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm not the only editor who's reverted you, and you would do well to learn about npov Snokalok (talk) 04:46, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Protection seems like a good idea given the situation in the UK. The IP above is edit warring and pretending not to know why their edits are wrong. They are very lucky to have avoided a warning template. Snokalok is evidently much nicer than I am when dealing with trolls. DanielRigal (talk) 22:54, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    How is the edit wrong? Not a single reason was ever provided to me 2A02:810D:BC82:1E00:6CE7:AB53:24D9:B09E (talk) 22:59, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    changing "a" definition to "the standard" definition, even though other dictionary definitions for "woman" exist ApexParagon (talk) 02:39, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    But only one can be the standard definition 2A02:810D:BC82:1E00:FDD0:7625:4BA3:2D8A (talk) 03:20, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Consider the edit warring noticeboard – This is a case of possible edit-warring by one or two users. Fwiw, one ruling in one country doesn't automatically change the standard definition. Lectonar (talk) 06:49, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    ROH Women's Pure Championship

    Temporary semi-protection: Some specific IP user tries to turn this redirect into an article. Too soon until Supercard of Honor (2025). Needs protection until 3 May (the end of ppv/event). Mann Mann (talk) 03:39, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Page keeps getting vandalised by IPs. Nobody (talk) 05:13, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    g.co

    Reason: 90% of edits to this page are reverted, all of them are by unregistered editors. Stumbling9655 (talk) 06:11, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Literally months go by without any edit at all. Lectonar (talk) 06:51, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    The Odd of Love

    Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – Long-term edit warring on concert's figures between 2 extended-confirmed editors. Both has been notified on exceeding 3RR. A discussion was opened in the talk page on February 2025 but there isn't consensus as of today. — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 07:40, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Consider the edit warring noticeboard – This is a case of possible edit-warring by one or two users. Then we need some more eyes on it; WP:3O might be another venue to try. Lectonar (talk) 07:43, 17 April 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.

    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.

    Battle For Dream Island

    Battle For Dream Island has the requisite number of prominent secondary sources (3) which have written on the subject. This is enough cause for the creation of a Wikipedia article, as explicitly stated under Wikipedia's criteria for article notability and creation. Gisrhgver (talk) 00:09, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
