Wikipedia:Requests for page protection

Page semi-protected
Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
(Redirected from Wikipedia:RFED)
    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

    Request a specific edit to a protected page
    Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here

    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.

    Module:Demo

    Indefinite semi-protection: Not highly used (only 500 or so transclusions). Awesome Aasim 20:47, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Also Template:Demo Awesome Aasim 20:49, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Al-Daraji

    Reason: Past the 24 May 2024 deadline stated here. Wiki-heIper (talk) 22:31, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Past? 24 May 2024 is still in the future for two more months. Zinnober9 (talk) 23:00, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    The page is extended-confirmed protected so that only users with extended confirmed rights can make changes until 24 May; this is a contentious topic restriction: WP:A/I/PIA. And of course you have had your extended confirmed user rights removed for gaming of the permissions. But you can still make specific edit requests in the form of 'change X to Y' on the article talk page. Malcolmxl5 (talk) 10:03, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Not unprotected – Please use an edit request to request specific changes to be made to the protected page. Talk:Al-Daraji is not protected. Favonian (talk) 11:02, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Ben Sabic

    Reason: The protection assigned to this page is no longer necessary, as it was applied over a decade ago. I am also interested in creating the page for this subject as part of a post-secondary assignment accepted by my professor. 58.178.165.127 (talk) 12:38, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – No changes to the current protection level are required at this point in time. Please use the WP:AFC process; if your draft is accepted, then we can unprotect that target. OhNoitsJamie Talk 12:48, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Talk:Main Page

    Reason: The protection is no longer necessary because I have been autoconfirmed for some months, And also, I don't need to make a couple of edits. MJGTMKME123 (talk) 14:06, 29 March 2024 (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

    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.

    the current breakdown of civilian and military hostages is incorrect. there are currently 9 living soldiers in hamas captivity and 81 civilians (alive). look at haaretz for an exact breadkown of all tha hostages by name and their status. https://www.haaretz.co.il/news/2023-12-31/ty-article-magazine/0000018b-4196-d242-abef-53b654760000
