    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 remove obvious vandalism.

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Both unsourced additions and MOS:CAPS violations by TA hopper. Jalen Barks (Woof) 05:56, 10 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Bha Bha Ba

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Many disruptive edits in past few days. MakaylaHippo1998 (talk) 07:30, 10 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    I'm so sorry the [[Cyberbot I]] remove it by archiving so I fixed it. ~2025-39520-55 (talk) 07:33, 10 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    The War Between the Land and the Sea

    Reason: Requesting short-term PCPP until 21 Dec (when the final episode airs) due to ongoing vandalism from temporary accounts. 11WB (talk) 09:37, 10 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Huliaipole

    Reason: Make extended-confirmed indefinitely. That page are WP:RUSUKR topic area. However, due of ongoing issues of the current conflict, possibly in the future. like the currently extended-confirmed protected page such as Toretsk. TentingZones1 (talk) 10:58, 10 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Pages are not protected preemptively. Only a small portion of this article is affected by the ECR mandated by RUSUKR. In cases like this, in the absense of active significant disruption ECR is enforced by manually reverting edits to the portions of the article covered by ECR by non XC-editors, not by applying ECP preemptively. - The Bushranger One ping only 09:08, 11 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Parasnath

    Temporary extended confirmed protection: Persistent disruptive editing – reversion edit war by unregistered user to initially and now essentially version created by two sock puppets. This has been reported as possible further sock puppetry. Whatever some article protection after reversion seems appropriate until sock puppet investigation done. ChaseKiwi (talk) 11:37, 10 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Malayalam phonology

    Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement – This is kind of complicated. A non extended-confirmed editor performed an undiscussed split of Malayalam, which resulted in this article. since Malayalam is indefinitely EC-protected, I think this should be, too. Or, should this split be reverted because it was undiscussed and the editor who did it isn't EC? Chess enjoyer (talk) 14:07, 10 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Talk:MTV Live (international TV channel)

    Semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry. Codename AD talk 15:08, 10 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Reason: High level of temporary account vandalism MossOnALogTalk 16:58, 10 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Ilyas Kashmiri

    Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement – Covered by WP:CT/IMH. Recent IP vandalisms stem from the release of a related film but the article is also generally the target of them. Gotitbro (talk) 18:06, 10 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Sarabjit Singh

    Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement – WP:CT/IMH article repeatedly subject to drive by disruptive edits by either IPs or new accounts as has recently been the case. Asking for a perma ECP per IMH guidelines. Gotitbro (talk) 19:30, 10 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Nasry Asfura

    Reason: Once again I am asking for protection as now there are other IP and non-confirmed users adding Nasry as the president-elect without any official projection from reliable sources. The 2025 Honduran general election article is already protected too. TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 19:45, 10 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Kopassus

    Reason: Persistent edit warring by temporary account and unwilling to engage discussion on talk page. (diff, diff, diff, and diff). Ckfasdf (talk) 19:49, 10 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Note: Creator attempted to sneak the draft back into articlespace at SMYT (song ); I have moved it back to draftspace and left a note on the creator's talk page. - The Bushranger One ping only 09:15, 11 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Rodante Marcoleta

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Persistent vandalism on adding WP:SOAPBOX and improper WP:SYNTH edits of characterizing the subject's religion as a cult and making toilet humor wordplay on his name (Marcobeta) - kubeta or toilet in Tagalog.

    Current requests for reduction in protection level

    Request removal of protection from a page, or reducing the current protection level
    Shortcuts

    Before posting a request for unprotection, please discuss it with the protecting administrator first. You can create a request below only if you receive no response from them.

    To find out which administrator protected the page, go to the page's edit history and click on the "View logs for this page" link (located underneath the page's title). The protecting administrator is listed in the protection log entry, next to the words "protected", "changed protection level", or "configured pending changes". If there are a large number of log entries on the page, use the drop-down menu near the top of the page and select "Protection log" or "Pending changes log" to filter the logs accordingly.

    DO NOT request a reduction in protection if...

    • ...you are being prevented from editing the page. A desire to change content is not a valid reason for unprotection. Instead:
      • If you can edit the article's talk page, use the WP:Edit Request Wizard to propose a change on the article's talk page. Include an explanation of the exact content that you want to change, and what the content will be afterward.
      • If the article's talk page is protected, you may propose a change at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection/Edit.
    • ...your reasoning for reducing protection is that the article has not been vandalized. That simply means the protection is working as intended.
    • ...your reasoning for reducing protection is basically "a long time has passed" without supporting details.
    • ...you haven't contacted the protecting administrator.

    You may request a protection reduction below if...

    • ...you want to change the protection level of a template or module from full protection to template protection. You may add the request to this page without having to discuss it with the protecting administrator first.
    • ...you need to remove creation protection from a location where no page exists (redlinked pages) after a draft version of the intended article is prepared beforehand and ready to be published.
    • ...you are proposing a trial reduction in protection for a page that has been protected for several years, provided the proposal is supported by evidence such as talk page activity, page views, page traffic, number of watchers, frequency of edit requests, and prior history of vandalism.
    • ...the protecting administrator is inactive or has not responded to you in several days.

    If you cannot locate your request, make sure to check the request archives to see if it's been moved there. Only requests that have been recently answered will still be listed here.

    Current requests for edits to a protected page

    Request a specific edit be made to a protected page
    Please add an edit request to the talk page of the protected page before adding an edit request here
    Shortcut

    Requests for specific edits should be made on the talk page of the protected article. You can create an edit request below only if the talk page is also protected, preventing you from adding a request there.

    Otherwise, this is the correct place to use in order to add an edit request if you are unable to add one to the article's talk page. Please see the top of this page for instructions on how to properly add a request.

    Gaza genocide

    Pls add reference to WSJ article on vast scale of Gaza Destruction, WSJ is traditionally pro war (editor was Max Boot), and it's significant that even they are admitting it https://www.wsj.com/world/middle-east/gaza-rubble-reconstruction-israel-war-85f12cfa Progress and Poverty (talk) 13:58, 10 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    The WSJ article doesn't use the genocide label. It reports the facts on the ground. So, it is probably better suited for Gaza war#Scale of destruction and/or the main article Israeli bombing of the Gaza Strip. You are welcome to post an edit request on the talk page of either article asking for one or more specific pieces of information from the source to be incorporated. If you do so, you should follow the WP:EDITXY guideline, and avoid personal opinion/analysis. I don't think it has been used so far according to this and this anyway, but there may already be discussions somewhere... Sean.hoyland (talk) 14:47, 10 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
