    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.

    Talk:Yasuke

    Reason: High level of IP traffic and harassment; Assassin's Creed Shadows released today. Relm (talk) 01:56, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Note: The talk page is drawing a lot of attention due to the articles own protection but I'm hesitant to apply a protection to the talk page unless it gets completely out of hand. I'm open to a second opinion on this so not marking it as not done. Seddon talk 02:35, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I agree with Seddon, it's not there yet, but we might need to apply protection for short durations if it becomes burdensome to deal with the traffic. Acroterion (talk) 02:38, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    2025 Nagpur violence

    Reason: Significant changes are being made without any discussion. Even after undoing those changes, edits are consistently made. I tried to encourage editors to communicate, but no one is paying attention to the talk page. All of this has led to edit warring. The editor who's making changes without discussion has no regard of NPOV and is trying to portray a whole religion in negative light even though the facts of the incident beg to differ. The editor who's making these changes without discussion is an autoconfirmed editor. DataCrusade1999 (talk) 15:30, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. I haven't seen many reverts; this looks like most other pages where a lot of editors are having their say on a breaking news story. Daniel Case (talk) 20:57, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I should also bring to your attention that there's an entire section, much longer than the one you wrote, on the talk page devoted to your edits that you "haven't been paying any attention" to. Daniel Case (talk) 20:59, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Persistent vandalism by various socks with Korean username since 2018. — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 15:56, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Johann Grander

    Reason: IP vandalism. Needs protection for a long time because this is a contentious topic. Polygnotus (talk) 17:11, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Kabul University

    Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring. Escape Orbit (Talk) 18:07, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Margaret Sanger

    Reason: This article has always been subject to lots of vandalism. Currently the article is in the middle of a FA nomination process ( WP:Featured article candidates/Margaret Sanger/archive1 ), so vandalism is a big concern. I thought the article had some protection, but I don't see a lock icon in the upper right corner of the article ... but I'm not familiar with the kinds of protection. Today an IP vandal made an edit: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Margaret_Sanger&diff=1281650452&oldid=1281540533 That edit was reverted, but how was that edit done? Doesn't the article have "pending protection" or something? If the article does not have any protections, it should have at least protection against IP edits. I apologize if the article is already protected, but I looked in the Talk page and could not find any indication of current protections. Noleander (talk) 18:31, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Arti Mehra

    Reason: Vandalism: The page has been frequently vandalized by users, protection may be requested to prevent further edits. Edit warring: There is ongoing conflict between editors, often leading to repeated reverts, page protection can help resolve the issue. Potential for disruption: If the page is at risk of significant disruption, such as controversial or sensitive content being added or altered inappropriately. Unregistered/anonymous users: If a page is primarily being edited by unregistered or anonymous users, and these edits are causing issues, protection can be used to limit editing to registered users only. High-profile or sensitive topic: Some topics, particularly high-profile or sensitive ones, may require protection due to the increased risk of biased or harmful editing. King changer (talk) 18:36, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Korea

    Reason: High level of IP vandalism since December 2024. For example, [1], [2], [3], [4], [5]. These disruptive editors have clearly weird obsession on judicial institutions of South Korea. -- Emeraldwood (talk) 18:53, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    President of the Constitutional Court of Korea

    Reason: High level of IP vandalism since October 2024. For example, [6], [7], [8], [9], [10]. These disruptive editors have clearly weird obsession on judicial institutions of South Korea. -- Emeraldwood (talk) 18:54, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Supreme Court of Korea

    Reason: High level of IP vandalism since November 2024. For example, [11], [12], [13], [14]. These disruptive editors have clearly weird obsession on judicial institutions of South Korea. -- Emeraldwood (talk) 18:57, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Cricket World Cup

    Indefinite move protection: Page title dispute/move warring – Repeatedly moved with no discussions, violating WP:RMUM. Move protection could then be removed after a discussion takes place if a clear consensus on title is reached. Zinnober9 (talk) 19:42, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Robert L. Wolfe

    Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Persistent vandalism from various Spanish IP addresses. Taffer😊💬(she/they) 20:15, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Mount Ebal curse tablet

    Reason: Disruptive editing and ongoing edit-warring over disputed content and sourcing. User Sinclairian (talk) is repeatedly removing consensus stands and marginalize it giving a false picture of the perputed 'tablet', using non-neutral language despite consensus-based talk page discussions and warnings. Edits have included cherry-picked phrasing, primary research misinterpretations, and WP:SYNTH-style formulations, undermining WP:NPOV and WP:RS guidelines. The talk page ([20]) documents clear attempts to mediate and establish a balanced summary of scholarly positions, yet disruptive edits continue. Requesting temporary **semi-protection** or **extended confirmed protection** to prevent further conflict and allow productive discussion. רמרום (talk) 20:31, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 22:39, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Reason: Repeated attempts to hi-jack page Arjayay (talk) 20:43, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Hungarian Revolution of 1956

    Reason: Due to some random document being released that showed the US supplying hungarian dissidents long before/after the revolution (I don't remember which one), there's going to (and already has been) a wave of IP editors attempting to insert false information regarding it being "fake" or "staged by the CIA" (as if the CIA would support staunch socialist imre nagy) ⛿ WeaponizingArchitecture | yell at me 21:07, 21 March 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.

    Unprotection: 14 years of protection with little vandalism or disruption. Thepharoah17 (talk) 23:34, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    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.
