    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.

    Hulleys of Baslow

    Temporary semi or ECP protection: Editor (and some likely MEAT or SOCK accounts) repeatedly adding WP:BLP questionable and WP:OR content already reverted several times in the past couple of weeks despite being advised why doing so is problematic and being encouraged to use the talk page to discuss in edit summaries and at User talk:InklingF#Hulleys of Baslow page. Editor in question is quickly approaching 3RR so perhaps some short-term WP:SEMI or WP:ECP will encourage them to use the article's talk page and help them avoid a block for edit warring. -- Marchjuly (talk) 11:23, 6 June 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.

    John Craven

    Reason: In October 2017, this page about a beloved British TV presenter was made "EXTENDED CONFIRMED PROTECTION" due to aggressive sock puppetry. I would like to see this page down to semi-protection due to little vandalism over almost eight years. Frankster04 (talk) 21:29, 5 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    That's circular reasoning. The fact that there is little vandalism simply means the protection is working as it should. Also, did you follow the instructions at the top of this page and ask the protecting administrator? ~Anachronist (talk) 22:35, 5 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    The only way to know if protection is still needed is to see if disruption returns without the protection, so time having passed is a valid reason. The protecting administrator is Favonian. Sdrqaz (talk) 00:10, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Chris Eubank

    Reason: This article about the UK boxer has been extended confirmed protection since a May 2018 spell of block evasion-induced vandalism. I’d like to see this page downgraded to semi-protection due to both little vandalism and his high profile (many high profile celebs' articles are semi-protected). Frankster04 (talk) 21:33, 5 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Please read the instructions at the top. You're supposed to ask the protecting administrator first, but I'll do it here. @Orangemike: what say you? ~Anachronist (talk) 22:34, 5 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    For what it is worth, I think this is probably a good candidate to reduce to SP. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 00:23, 6 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Sounds good to me. --Orange Mike | Talk 15:26, 6 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    (edit conflict) Of the edits prior to protection, I only see one reverted edit by an auto-confirmed user, so I don't think that extended-confirmed protection was necessary in the first place. Sdrqaz (talk) 00:10, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Done, now indef semi-protected. Any changes to duration would be a different discussion. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 00:06, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Pocahontas II: Journey to a New World

    Unprotection: 15 years of protection with little vandalism or disruption and protecting admin is retired. Thepharoah17 (talk) 10:12, 6 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Unprotected. Bambifan101 seems inactive. Sdrqaz (talk) 00:10, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Template:Nocaps

    Reason: Only 56 transclusions. Not enough for template protection. 2A0E:1D47:9085:D200:B760:276F:5BA6:1929 (talk) 10:31, 6 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Transformers (film)

    Unprotection: No need for move protection. Thepharoah17 (talk) 02:23, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    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.
