Wikipedia:Requests for page protection
 | This page has an administrative backlog that requires the attention of willing administrators. Please replace this notice with {{no admin backlog}} when the backlog is cleared. |
| 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.

Reason: A certain editor has made repeated edits with misspelling and misuse of capitalisation. I have mentioned this in the user's talk page, but the problem continues and the user is now replacing correct use of upper case and lower case with incorrect use. Jellysandwich0 (talk) 03:17, 10 August 2024 (UTC)
Reason: Fraudulent edits 2A00:23C6:D01A:7701:5816:8103:2E98:9FBC (talk) 04:04, 10 August 2024 (UTC)

- Gymnastics at the 2024 Summer Olympics – Women's floor (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Reason: IOC has not ruled on the CAS ruling regarding the relative placements of Jordan Chiles and Ana Barbosu. Jordan Chiles remains the official bronze medalist until the IOC issues a ruling, but many are editing the standings to reflect the CAS decision which has no impact on the allocation of medals 2601:8C1:C180:7580:A448:B72F:C11F:BF48 (talk) 17:57, 10 August 2024 (UTC)

Reason: Due to fears of an edit war by another user regarding the ages of two of the main 4 Cures. Also, violation of WP:Fandom as this user mentioned the Pretty Cure Wiki on Fandom in one of the edits. SpinnerLaserzthe2nd (talk) 18:16, 10 August 2024 (UTC)
Reason: Subject to continuing vandalism due to recent CAS decision 2601:8C1:C180:7580:A448:B72F:C11F:BF48 (talk) 18:25, 10 August 2024 (UTC)

Reason: Persistent disruptive editing by what looks like the same person using different IP addresses. PatGallacher (talk) 18:52, 10 August 2024 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – People are misunderstanding the current ruling and incorrectly saying that Jordan has had her medal stripped, which hasn't happened yet. JDDJS (talk to me • see what I've done) 19:47, 10 August 2024 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Back and forth editing and reverting changes. Muffin of the English (talk) 05:22, 11 August 2024 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – I suggest that this draft be protected. Repeated WP:BE. Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Kicks_of_seven#Clerk,_CheckUser,_and/or_patrolling_admin_comments_5. — Saqib (talk I contribs) 09:55, 11 August 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.
Reason: Semi-protection no longer needed. Unlike other template documentations, does not require any page protection. 49.150.12.163 (talk) 09:50, 11 August 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.
The title is misleading - there have been none in Wales. The page mentions N Wales Police sending reinforcements, and says that there were anti-fascist gatherings in Cardiff to protest expected events that did not happen and 'some far-right demonstrators outside the Senedd, though no conflict materialised' So no riots in Wales.
