    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.

    Talk:Yasuke

    Reason: High level of IP traffic and harassment; Assassin's Creed Shadows released today. Relm (talk) 01:56, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Note: The talk page is drawing a lot of attention due to the articles own protection but I'm hesitant to apply a protection to the talk page unless it gets completely out of hand. I'm open to a second opinion on this so not marking it as not done. Seddon talk 02:35, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I agree with Seddon, it's not there yet, but we might need to apply protection for short durations if it becomes burdensome to deal with the traffic. Acroterion (talk) 02:38, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Vibe coding

    Reason: This article seems subject to low-quality edits from new accounts.

    • 15 March - External link, likely self-promotion.
    • 17 March - Blanked section to call it theft instead.
    • 19 March - Blanking and lots of uncited stuff. Possibly well-meaning but effectively vandalism.
    • 21 March - Strengths and weaknesses section entirely based around a single source that isn't cite-worthy. Possible self-promotion, and still not up to Wikipedia standards if it isn't.

    Given this is a somewhat niche page, these edits and their respective reversions quickly make up a significant portion of the edit history. Giving it semi-protected status would curb all of this. Here for the one billionth edit (talk) 05:32, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. This is a very new article that seems to still be in active development, and I think the downside of preventing new users from editing it at all outweighs the benefit of protecting the (really very few) disruptive edits. If the situation deteriorates, please make a new request. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 18:22, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    DE1 MRT station

    Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – Persistent adding of unsourced content from IP editors. (especially adding the name as Gali Batu and changing the goddamn station code). brachy08 (chat here lol) 05:36, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 18:23, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Nobody 2

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing. Nobody (talk) 06:11, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    User(s) blocked: 71.167.219.231 (talk · contribs). It doesn't seem like protection is warranted otherwise, but if they show up on a new IP, feel free to ping me and I'll block them again. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 18:27, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    List of Malaysia international footballers born outside Malaysia

    Reason: Persistent vandalism BlameRuiner (talk) 09:18, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 18:32, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Post-Suharto era in Indonesia

    Reason: Recent passage of the amendment to the Indonesian Military Act and its ongoing protests has led to persistent disruptive edits from other Indonesian users to alter the period of this rule without providing sufficient explanation.

    While I understand that emotions are currently running high in the country due to the protests and the fear of the legal and political effects the TNI Act may bring to the wider country, I think it's also important as well that the results and effects of this amendment should be observed in a wait-and-see approach. Farey0633 (talk) 10:21, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 4 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. I suggest you start a talk page discussion about this, or the back-and-forth disruption will likely resume when protection expires. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 18:43, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    The Guardian 100 Best Male Footballers in the World

    Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Annh07 (talk) 10:47, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 3 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Seems to need this every year around this time. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 18:45, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Singh

    Indefinite semi-protection: Arbitration Enforcement. CR (how's my driving? call 0865 88318) 11:00, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined - pending changes is sufficient. You also didn't specify which arbitration committee decision you think applies to this article and I can't think of one that would. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 18:40, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    The Gulag Archipelago

    Reason: Editor is continuing to disrupt the page after already being blocked twice for the same thing. Reflecktor (talk) 12:06, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    User(s) blocked: AcademicPerfection (talk · contribs) blocked by Daniel Case. for a month. If they do it again after this, they should be blocked for 10 years without the right of correspondence, per the article subject. Daniel Case (talk) 18:39, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Stephen Graham

    Reason: Repeated reversion, by multiple anon IPs, to incorrect place of birth (it was Lancashire, not Merseyside, in 1973). Martinevans123 (talk) 13:23, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 18:48, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Sonic Frontiers

    Reason: Requesting semi-protection. Slow but consistent reverted edits by new or IP editors. MimirIsSmart (talk) 14:00, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 18:50, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Tod's

    Reason: Editor (MilanoTorino) is edit warring with multiple users and IPs in an attempt introduce negative content to article via unreliable sources and encyclopedic tone, edit history demonstrates single-purpose editing activity. Multiple users have reverted them and warned them via their talk page. Requesting his latest edit is reverted to last stable version and page protected from further disruption. 2601:646:8081:8100:8DF:93F7:F82F:7294 (talk) 14:01, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Fully protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Use the talk page to settle disputes. If anyone starts reverting again without there having been any discussion on the talk page, I will very likely block instead. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 19:01, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Claudette Colvin

    Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Taffer😊💬(she/they) 14:27, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Malbolge

    Reason: Repeated IP vandalism over the last half a year. 134.96.76.116 (talk) 14:46, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Nikki Haley

    Indefinite semi-protection: BLP policy violations – WP:CT/AP. E6400 (talk) 15:22, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    2025 Nagpur violence

    Reason: Significant changes are being made without any discussion. Even after undoing those changes, edits are consistently made. I tried to encourage editors to communicate, but no one is paying attention to the talk page. All of this has led to edit warring. The editor who's making changes without discussion has no regard of NPOV and is trying to portray a whole religion in negative light even though the facts of the incident beg to differ. The editor who's making these changes without discussion is an autoconfirmed editor. DataCrusade1999 (talk) 15:30, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Seoul Subway Line 3

    Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Persistent vandalism by various socks with Korean username since 2018. — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 15:56, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Johann Grander

    Reason: IP vandalism. Needs protection for a long time because this is a contentious topic. Polygnotus (talk) 17:11, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Hailey Bieber

    Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. jolielover♥talk 17:50, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Kabul University

    Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring. Escape Orbit (Talk) 18:07, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Margaret Sanger

    Reason: This article has always been subject to lots of vandalism. Currently the article is in the middle of a FA nomination process ( WP:Featured article candidates/Margaret Sanger/archive1 ), so vandalism is a big concern. I thought the article had some protection, but I don't see a lock icon in the upper right corner of the article ... but I'm not familiar with the kinds of protection. Today an IP vandal made an edit: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Margaret_Sanger&diff=1281650452&oldid=1281540533 That edit was reverted, but how was that edit done? Doesn't the article have "pending protection" or something? If the article does not have any protections, it should have at least protection against IP edits. I apologize if the article is already protected, but I looked in the Talk page and could not find any indication of current protections. Noleander (talk) 18:31, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Arti Mehra

    Reason: Vandalism: The page has been frequently vandalized by users, protection may be requested to prevent further edits. Edit warring: There is ongoing conflict between editors, often leading to repeated reverts, page protection can help resolve the issue. Potential for disruption: If the page is at risk of significant disruption, such as controversial or sensitive content being added or altered inappropriately. Unregistered/anonymous users: If a page is primarily being edited by unregistered or anonymous users, and these edits are causing issues, protection can be used to limit editing to registered users only. High-profile or sensitive topic: Some topics, particularly high-profile or sensitive ones, may require protection due to the increased risk of biased or harmful editing. King changer (talk) 18:36, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Korea

    Reason: High level of IP vandalism since December 2024. For example, [1], [2], [3], [4], [5]. These disruptive editors have clearly weird obsession on judicial institutions of South Korea. -- Emeraldwood (talk) 18:53, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    President of the Constitutional Court of Korea

    Reason: High level of IP vandalism since October 2024. For example, [6], [7], [8], [9], [10]. These disruptive editors have clearly weird obsession on judicial institutions of South Korea. -- Emeraldwood (talk) 18:54, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Supreme Court of Korea

    Reason: High level of IP vandalism since November 2024. For example, [11], [12], [13], [14]. These disruptive editors have clearly weird obsession on judicial institutions of South Korea. -- Emeraldwood (talk) 18:57, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Constitutional Court of Korea

    Reason: High level of IP vandalism since October 2024. For example, [15], [16], [17], [18], [19]. These disruptive editors have clearly weird obsession on judicial institutions of South Korea. -- Emeraldwood (talk) 18:58, 21 March 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.

    Power Rangers Samurai

    Unprotection: 14 years of protection with little vandalism or disruption. Thepharoah17 (talk) 23:34, 20 March 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.
