    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.

    Candidates of the 2025 Canadian federal election

    Reason: Persistent edits by one IP editor who ignores page policy, using IPs 70.51.9.16 and 2605:b100:506:1bf3:60a6:78f0:39b5:14fe. G. Timothy Walton (talk) 15:43, 6 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    fa:کریم خان زند

    Reason: Due to severe ethnic sabotage. Mohammadmehdimirzaii (talk) 16:40, 6 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    (edit conflict) Declined – Administrators on this (English language) Wikipedia have no authority on the Persian one. I concluded from your editing pattern that you meant the article on fa-Wiki, as neither the local redirect, کریم خان زند, nor its target, Karim Khan Zand, have been vandalized. The latter is, in fact, protected. Favonian (talk) 20:10, 6 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Farming Simulator

    Temporary pending changes: Persistent vandalism – lots of vandalism. DB554 (talk) 18:08, 6 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Karin Taylor

    Reason: This page has been repeatedly targeted by bad-faith or coordinated edits removing reliably sourced, neutral content in order to delete information concerning Karin Taylor's career or personal life. Multiple attempts have been made to restore content that complies with WP:BLP and WP:RS, including material backed by the Wallstreet Journal, Forbes, Palm Beach Post, Jupiter Magazine,CBS12, and WPTV to name a few. These edits are repeatedly deleted. The pattern appears intended to discredit or smear the subject which violates Wikipedia's core policies on living persons. I am requesting temporary protection to prevent further abuse. Since this began leading up to a legal trial I am sure the sudden interest in editing this page and deleting this page will end when the trial is over. JupiterPR (talk) 18:33, 6 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. FMSky (talk) 19:21, 6 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Igodomigodo

    Temporary semi-protection: Sockpuppetry. Persistent repeated block evasion from Miyanky445. Also disruptive editing. LucasKannou (talk) 20:27, 6 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Elbow Beach (album)

    Semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Requesting semiprotection because the current pending changing protection is not deterring the sockmaster (MariaJaydHicky) from targeting this page. Looking back to when pending changes was enabled for this page (in 2019, roughly 80 or so edits ago, I counted only only two constructive edits from IPs; the rest are all IPs from MJH sock. I think this evidence shows that the collateral damage of enabling semiprotection will be minimal. Aoi (青い) (talk) 20:42, 6 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Toy Story 5

    Reason: High level of IP vandalism, disruptive editing, and too many additions of unsourced or poorly sourced content. The Media Expert (talk) 20:44, 6 April 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.

    Characters of Sonic the Hedgehog

    Reason: Because there is no reason for the semi-protection in the first place. 2601:243:2100:5AC0:FCC5:E5D5:2ECC:2C86 (talk) 03:58, 6 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

     Comment:: Page history seems to say otherwise. Sumanuil. (talk to me) 04:18, 6 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    @Sergecross73: Pinging the protecting admin. (CC) Tbhotch™ 05:13, 6 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I watched over the page for over a decade. It's a magnet for problematic edits. I'm not opposed if someone feels strongly, but it almost certainly be re-upped again for bad edits. There are many editors who maintain it these days though, so there are people to assist. Sergecross73 msg me 13:01, 6 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Not unprotected – Please use an edit request to request specific changes to be made to the protected page. ~Anachronist (talk) 17:29, 6 April 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.
