Wikipedia:Requests for page protection
| 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

Current requests for increase in protection level
Place requests for new or upgrading of article protection, upload protection, or create protection at the BOTTOM of this section. Check the archive of fulfilled and denied requests or, failing that, the page history if you cannot find your request. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.
Many people want to change the real dates of the event and change the official data to false ones. I ask you to protect the page from vandalism for a month. Thank you!Azar Altman (talk) 12:41, 25 December 2024 (UTC)
Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Isabelle Belato 🏳🌈 12:56, 25 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: Lil Dicky was semi-protected back in 2019. Now that five years have passed, could the semi-protection be lifted? 174.93.89.27 (talk) 19:19, 24 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.

Alicia Silverstone - news reporter/villainess Heather Jasper Howe in Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed in 2004.
In yes way is that a notable enough role to be mentioned in the lead. To me. 86.130.33.243 (talk) 21:49, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
- This is something better discussed on Talk:Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed, not necessarily with Soetermans. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 22:03, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
- You have been asked to use talk pages. This is starting to feel like harassment. soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 22:34, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
Not done – As stated repeatedly, such requests belong on the respective article talk pages. Further postings on this notice board will be removed and may well result in your IP being blocked from editing. Favonian (talk) 11:43, 25 December 2024 (UTC)
Hello. I want to create a translation from Azerbaijani language to English language. I have already prepared a draft, unfortunately, I cannot share it, it does not let me publish it. Can you, please, give me an exceptional access for publishing this translation? You can also check the translation.
I am fluent in English, I studied my bachelor (ADA University, Baku) and masters (Szeged University) in English which I finished with honors. Meanwhile, I continue my education in MATE University in PhD level in English language, I work in ExxonMobil Hungary. I had IETLS 7.5 and Duolingo 140 certificates. I will appreciate your kind gesture if you let me publish this translation. Thanks in advance. :) Tofiq di Montini (talk) 09:54, 25 December 2024 (UTC)
- Not done – @Tofiq di Montini: The correct approach is to create Draft:Tofig Bayram, and when you think it's ready, submit it through the WP:Articles for creation process. As a matter of fact, such a draft was created a couple of years ago by Lorenzodemedici14491492, but later deleted due to inactivity. Are you by any chance that user? Favonian (talk) 11:50, 25 December 2024 (UTC)
- Hello Favonian.
- Thanks for your answer. Yes, I am same person. I forgot at that time due to other activities. I even lost my access to my previous account. Now I have more time and also experience, therefore decided to give a try.
- Now I published as you said on my sandbox, I wanted to move it to draft space which did not let me do it. Can you, please, suggest what can be done? Thanks in advance. Tofiq di Montini (talk) 12:19, 25 December 2024 (UTC)
- @Tofiq di Montini: I've undeleted the old version of Draft:Tofig Bayram and suggest that you integrate/override it with your sandbox. Please leave the old "AFC comment" line at the top in place. When you're done, submit the draft to AfC. Favonian (talk) 12:55, 25 December 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you very much, Favonian. :) Tofiq di Montini (talk) 13:49, 25 December 2024 (UTC)
