This page is for requesting that a page, image or template be fully protected, semi-protected, move-protected or unprotected. Please read up on the protection policy. Full protection is used to stop edit warring between multiple users or to prevent vandalism to high-risk templates; semi-protection is usually used only to prevent IP and new user vandalism (see the rough guide to semi-protection); and move protection is used to stop pagemove revert wars. After a page has been protected, the protection is listed in the page history and logs with a short description indicating why it was protected, and the article is listed on Special:Protectedpages. Further discussion should take place on the Talk page of the article. In the case of full protection due to edit warring, admins do not revert back to specific versions of the page, except to get rid of obvious vandalism.
If you would like to request a page to be protected or unprotected, please follow the following steps:

Semi-protection A large amount of vandalism on this high-profile political article which gets thousands of hits a day (almost 500,000 so far this month) - editors are trying to keep up, but the vandals are winning. Tvoz/talk 03:20, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection vandalism.
Declined – There is not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection at this time. If there's significantly more disruptive activity in the future, consider relisting. Tiptoety talk 03:05, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection vandalism, Seems to be the target of multiple vandals today, has been reverted three times in the past several hours..

semi-protect. Page was protected due to IP vandalism, then fully protected due to a dispute. Now that the protection is gone the IP vandalism has returned.

Temporary full protection dispute, Multiple editors, some IPs, some real ones. Consensus is unlikely to be reached with the amount of warring going on right now, so a temporary full-protect is requested..
6-month create protection (and speedy deletion of current recreated material). Please see logs of Shri Krishan Institute of Engineering & Technology and Kurukshetra University for reasons. Protect Talk page too, please.
- Declined since I've decided to nip this crap in the bud and block the user responsible for unrepentant copyright violations. If it shows up again at Skiet or at Kurukshetra University (India) I'll prot, but not before. I *did* delete both pages, however, as WP:CSD#G12 or G7. -
6-month create protection. As predicted, repeatedly created copyvio content from the main page was added to the talk page.
- Protected to prevent recreation for 6 months; speedied as an abandoned talk page. -

Temporary semi-protection: Today's Dinosaur Comics (will be at this address tomorrow) depicts main character Tyrannosaurus as temporarily dating Wikipedia, and we've already had several references to this in the article. A few days at most should quiet it down (something similar happened to Tyrannosaurus because of a webcomic in the past). J. Spencer (talk) 23:50, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Indefinite create-protection, Another very possible variation of HAGGER?.-- IRP ☎ 20:10, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
- Declined, According to the protection policy creation protection may not be used as a pre-emptive measure, but only in response to actual events. Instead, the titleblacklist should be used (cf. [1] and protection policy). —
- While I was in favour of fulfilling such requests for protection, since there isn't really much harm in doing so, I think you're starting to be wasting administrators' time with all these requests. Can you please do something more productive than spending time looking for HAGGER variations? Maybe chip in on the talk page of the Title blacklist? Majorly talk 20:16, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
semi-protect. Persistant, on going reverts of a redirected page against the consensus by a single anon editor using dynamic ips. Semi protecting the redirects is the only solution that i can think of. neon white talk 20:09, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Indefinite create-protection, Possible variation of "HAGGER?", similar to "HA66ER?"..-- IRP ☎ 20:08, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
- Declined, According to the protection policy creation protection may not be used as a pre-emptive measure, but only in response to actual events. Instead, the titleblacklist should be used (cf. [2] and protection policy). —
- Well, please add this to the title blacklist. -- IRP ☎ 20:16, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
- In future, please do not request anymore variations of HAGGER pages here, unless they have actually been created/deleted. Please use the Title blacklist talk page. Thanks, Majorly talk 20:19, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
- Well, how come this request wasn't declined? -- IRP ☎ 20:24, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
- That is besides the point. It's OK protecting now and again. But you're here very regularly it seems, requesting protection for pages that don't necessarily need it. I expect it's becoming tiresome for admins, who don't have to protect such pages, unless the page has been used for vandalism. This page is the wrong location for such requests; the admin who protected the page maybe did so as a one off. How many of your other requests have been declined? Please read the protection policy - while there are some admins who will IAR and protect anyway, it doesn't mean you are free to come here and request for every variation of HAGGER that's going.

Indefinite create-protection, on discussion on my talk page, user has threatened to re-create page over and over.. not sure how to handle this, but I figure this is a good start. link to my talk page entry 1.Omarcheeseboro (talk) 19:40, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
- Declined – Pages are not protected pre-emptively. Let's wait until the AfD shakes out and see what the user actually does. Thanks. — Satori Son 19:45, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
full protection dispute, Named account, Lamborghini man, and possible IP sock are adding disputed material against consensus, for which there has been no discussion. Requesting full indef protection until consensus can be reached..Yngvarr (t) (c) 18:46, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Current requests for unprotection
If you simply want to make spelling corrections or add information to a protected page that is not disputed, and you are not involved in any disputes there, consider simply adding {{Editprotected}} to the article's talk page, along with an explanation of what you want to add to the page. See the list of current {{Editprotected}} requests.
If you do want a page that exists unprotected, please try to ask the protecting admin first before making a request here.
Check here if you cannot find your request. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.
I was still not given a clear answer on this page. The page represents a game which belongs to a rare genre, and has many features not found in others of its kind, in addition to growing in popularity. I have a page already created for it, User:MMORTSLover/Beyond_Protocol. If changes are necessary, let me know. I have already asked the protecting admin, which is on a "short" wiki break but has not contributed since July. Thanks. MMORTSLover (talk) 15:43, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
- Comment: I think CSD A7 still applies here and the page shouldn't be unprotected, but would like to hear what other admins think on this one. Cirt (talk) 17:43, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
Current requests for edits to a protected page
- When making requests here, either:
- Provide a good reason for a substantial edit to a protected page. These are only done in exceptional circumstances, or when there is very clear consensus for an edit and continued protection. Please link to the talk page where consensus was reached.
- Demonstrate that there is a clear dispute over a protected page, and that a specific dispute tag would be appropriate to add. Please link to the talk page where the dispute exists.
Note: Unless the talk page itself is protected, you may instead add {{Editprotected}}, {{Editsemiprotected}} or {{Request edit}} to the article's talk page if you would like an inconsequential change rather than requesting it here, though most of these should simply wait for unprotection.

Fulfilled/denied requests
- Semi-protect for one week. Previously requested a week-long semi-protection, but only received two days' semi-protection. Since the expiration, IP vandalism has continued. —
- Declined – There is not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection at this time. If there's significantly more disruptive activity in the future, consider relisting. Really, there has been only one IP editor who has made blatant vandalism edits. There have been several since the protection expiration who have made good-faith contributions.
