    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.

    2024 Kansas City Chiefs season

    Temporary semi-protection: Addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content. For at least 3 weeks. Out of precaution, admittedly, since the Chiefs (and the Eagles) are heading to Super Bowl LIX. 2601AC47 (talk·contribs·my rights) Isn't a IP anon 14:56, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. A day or so ago this might have been justified, but that dispute seems to have cooled. And "Out of precaution, admittedly" is basically a request for pre-emptive protection, which outside of certain situations in ArbCom cases we don't grant. Daniel Case (talk) 22:43, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Glenn Quagmire

    Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Nonstop vandalism despite pending changes. Filmssssssssssss (talk) 15:20, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    User(s) blocked: 2804:7F0:96C2:C000:0:0:0:0/50 (talk · contribs) blocked by Daniel Case. for a week. Daniel Case (talk) 22:52, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Mayhem (Lady Gaga album)

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Recently announced album article, target of IP vandals continuously changing chronology convention. —IB [ Poke ] 16:28, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Likely collateral damage as one or several users who are making improvements would be affected by the requested protection. If the issue gets worse please come back and rerequest. Dr vulpes (Talk) 21:02, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Elon Musk gesture controversy

    Temporary pending changes: Highly politicized article with inevitable potential for POV pushing, which has already seen some IP edits be reverted. (Yes, I'm aware there is a current deletion discussion and a current move request for this, but the deletion discussion seems decided on keeping it and the move request wouldn't prevent protection.). O.N.R. (talk) 16:30, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. I don't see much disruption from IPs ... on an article like this there's going to be a lot of well-intended edits that get reverted. Daniel Case (talk) 23:02, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Hehe

    Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Almost all edits to this page are vandalism and vandalism reverts. RaschenTechner (talk) 18:44, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Dr vulpes (Talk) 20:57, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Karen Bass

    Reason: POV-pushing/NPOV-violating vandalism related to the handling of January 2025 Southern California wildfires. Requesting temporary semi-protection. Wildfireupdateman :) (talk) 20:09, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Pending-changes protected for a period of 45 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Dr vulpes (Talk) 20:51, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Marco (2024 film)

    Reason: High IP vandalism changing boxoffice figure without reliable source. RangersRus (talk) 20:45, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. If this gets worse please feel free to come back and rerequest, the page has been off of page protection for less than a day. Dr vulpes (Talk) 20:54, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @Dr vulpes: It has already gone bad after 4 different IPs made bad edits. I already reverted twice the changes that are not sourced. Right now the IP stopped because of the edit it made with wrong boxoffice figure not mentioned in the source. RangersRus (talk) 21:04, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @RangersRus I've gone ahead and updated the source for the new box office earnings. This was not vandalism, the IP editor probably didn't know how to add sources. Dr vulpes (Talk) 21:26, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Siege of Berat (1455)

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing. Kajmer05 (talk) 20:57, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. If the issue becomes larger please feel free to return and rerequest. Dr vulpes (Talk) 20:59, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    List of countries by exports

    Reason: High level of IP vandalism; this problem is plaguing the article for quite some time now; see its talk page. The current list is completely messed up again. Should restore the correct version and protect the page. Maxeto0910 (talk) 23:43, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    P.S.: Same applies to List of countries by merchandise exports and List of countries by service exports. Maxeto0910 (talk) 23:47, 27 January 2025 (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 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.

    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.
