    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.

    International Bar Association

    Temporary extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement – Content about the association's comments on the Israel-Hamas war has been recently added. Air on White (talk) 23:20, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. And the content is really just in passing, among a list of all the other recent international conflicts it has condemned. Daniel Case (talk) 19:15, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Maria-Ana Tupan

    Temporary extended confirmed protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Longer protection is needed this time; COI editing started immediately after protection expired. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 06:14, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Ymblanter (talk) 12:46, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Israeli Israel–Hamas war ceasefire proposal

    Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement – PIA. Air on White (talk) 06:19, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Already protected by administrator El C. under that name; inherited by Three-phase Israel–Hamas war ceasefire proposal. Will log at CTOPS if it hasn't been already. Daniel Case (talk) 19:19, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    User:Air on White/CSD log

    Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Persistent disruptive editing – No reason for other users to edit this page. A person whose page I nominated blanked the entire page. Air on White (talk) 07:06, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected indefinitely. No reason to go to EC on this, since the most likely vandals/disruptors are non-autoconfirmed, and I don't know how that would affect Twinkle's ability to log these. Daniel Case (talk) 19:24, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Iraq

    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.

    Ahir

    Reason: The information in this article is very wrong, I want to correct it. 2409:4085:9194:1AD6:0:0:84A:10A5 (talk) 03:38, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Given the article has had to be constantly protected due to constant edit-warring over caste-related matters I would be hesitant to unprotect, especially as lesser protection levels just attracted autocon-buster sockpuppets. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 07:06, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Not unprotected – Please use an edit request to request specific changes to be made to the protected page. Talk:Ahir is not protected. Favonian (talk) 07:16, 2 June 2024 (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.
