Wikipedia:Requests for page protection
| Welcome—request protection of a page, file, or template here. | ||
|---|---|---|
|
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.

China
Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Persistent disruptive editing. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk|contribs) 07:59, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
Done. El_C 08:13, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
Morgan Jerkins
Reason: She had some kinda twitter fight with someone who calls himself "DJ Vlad" (RIP Bram Stoker) and said some things that could be interpreted as racist (and insulting to black people who have good music taste). But as long as there are no reliable sources covering this we should probably keep this off of Wikipedia. A flood of IPs will edit this in because internet outrage is a powerful high.

Semi-protected for a period of 10 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Well, I'll never get those brain cells back. El_C 08:17, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
Multi-Party Charter
Temporary protection: repeated deletion of Disputes section by rapidly changing IP. Adakiko (talk) 10:29, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
Current requests for reduction in protection level
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.
Democratic Unionist Party
Reason: Let's try to give it a shot being open. Completely Random Guy (talk) 07:24, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
- Pinging Lectonar who protected it originally and was active today. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 07:26, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
- I don't know, I'm seeing on the average one or two reverts per week, fairly consistency since the beginning of this year. That tells me that PCP is just creating more work for reviewers and the protection should be changed to semiprotection instead. Removing PCP isn't going to change the workload (except maybe to avoid having to approve the good edits), but at least it's preventing unconstructive edits from becoming visible. ~Anachronist (talk) 07:30, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
- And I think that pcp may be creating a little more work "behind the scenes", but it also prevents visible disruption in the first place: things simply don't go live. For my part, I am somewhat loath to semi-protect pages which do get not much disruptive traffic, like in this case. After having had my daily read of our protection policy, this is way under the threshold for semi-protection. If an admin wants to semi-protect: be my guest. Lowering protection to none isn't the way to go, though. Lectonar (talk) 09:55, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
Current requests for edits to a protected page
Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here
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.
ChatGPT
New URL Change from chat.openai.com to chatgpt.com 122.104.176.219 (talk) 06:54, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
- (Not an Admin but...) The main url is chat.openai.com, chatgpt.com redirects you to there. No reason to change it Me Da Wikipedian (talk) 14:43, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
- probably an A/B test 122.104.176.219 (talk) 06:11, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
