    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.

    Request protection of a page, or increasing the protection level
    Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level

    Bigg Boss (Telugu TV series) season 8

    Temporary extended confirmed protection: Protection requested atleast until December 2024 to avoid unsourced additions by both IPs and new users. Eviction status keeps on getting updated based on speculations without any sources despite advicing not to do so. Even before premiere the speculations are being updates. The article was semi-protected twice in the span of 21 days. Thewikizoomer (talk) 15:33, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Anti-pedophile activism

    Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Long-term sockpuppetry by autoconfirmed accounts and IPs of WP:GENSEX POV-pusher Raxythecat since July 2023.

    Here is a list of socks:

    • How I could just edit a wiki article (edited from July to August 2023; confirmed sock, same pattern of using "fixing"/"fixed" on edit summaries while removing content and editing on mobile devices)
    • 2804:431:F73C:AD80:3591:2D22:DADB:C459 (August 2023; started editing the article shortly after the account above was blocked for socking, same pattern of editing on mobile devices, same interest in mythology/occult religions articles as other socks of raxy)
    • 2600:6C4A:717F:B637:348B:313C:B838:E42E (Jan 2024; same pattern of using "fixing"/"fixed" on edit summaries while removing content and editing on mobile)
    • 107.77.209.82 (Jan 2024; same pattern of using "fixing"/"fixed" on edit summaries and editing on mobile, same range as multiple IPs listed at this spi section)
    • Big Money Threepwood (Feb 2024; confirmed sock, same pattern of removing content from the article)

    Raxy has a high degree of interest in this particular area of GENSEX and has been using autoconfirmed accounts to POV-push in this area for a long time, as seen at A person from nowhere, How I could just edit a wiki article and Underwoods Witch. He is an experienced sockpuppeteer and, judging by his reappearances in this article for the span of at least 8 months, he seems to have this page on his "watchlist", so a temporary semi-protection would be of no effect here in practice.

    Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – High level of IP vandalism. Susbush (talk) 18:35, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Ymblanter (talk) 20:04, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Peter Brimelow

    Reason: Prevention of edit war. Cundebuff (talk) 19:36, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined, if you get reverted by multiple users you should go to the talk page and discuss. Ymblanter (talk) 20:02, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Declined. (edit conflict) You're edit warring against several users and therefore you would like the article protected? Yeah, no. Bishonen | tålk 20:06, 22 September 2024 (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 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.

    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.
