Requests for page protection


Current requests for increase in protection level

Request addition of protection to a page, or increasing the current protection level
Place requests for protection increases at the BOTTOM of this section. If you cannot find your request, check the archive of requests or the page history. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.

Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing from unregistered accounts. Nearly all TA/rookie edits are either unsourced fancruft, good faith but poor quality contributions that violate our WP:MOS, or outright vandalism. I think a 6 month — 1 year protection might do the trick given that this page has been protected multiple times in the past few months despite being relatively new.

Current requests for reduction in protection level

Request removal of protection from a page, or reducing the current protection level

Reason: Originally, this page was a cross-namespace redirect to Wikipedia:Community portal. Then, in conjunction with Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)/Archive 43#Proposal: Move main page to a different namespace, the page was changed to a test for a new location for the main page and the page was permanently protected. That test was then abandoned with the decision that the main page should remain where it was, and the page made a redirect to the main page and then, following an RfD, back to its original target. However, the permanent page protection was never removed, so I request that the page be unprotected, back to the status quo. Bsherr (talk) 20:48, 18 July 2026 (UTC)

Reason: I really miss the funny people that used to put funny things on his page on Friday evenings, and now my Friday nights are boring and depressing because I do not have anything to look forward to. 😔 ~2026-40925-43 (talk) 04:40, 21 July 2026 (UTC)

I plan on filling out all the Bivalve-related redlinks, and I do not want the might of these mollusks to fill the backlog. - RealGatba (talk) (contribs) 23:13, 19 July 2026 (UTC)

I have created over 40 articles which has reliable, independent sources (excluding an set index article) out of the 55 articles I created, primarily about US articles, including mostly factories, some vehicle models, and a few biographies such as Whirlpool Clyde plant, IC Bus CE Series, and J. Douglas Adams. I was still planning to continue contributing and creating new articles every week. My old request I requested it on June 28th of this year was not done because it has less than 25 articles. This is my second attempt to grant my autopatrolled rights.

Automated comment This user has had 1 request for autopatrolled declined or withdrawn in the past 90 days (). MusikBot talk 20:50, 20 July 2026 (UTC)
@Thomasfan1916: I declined your request because of the several issues I identified, not because you had created less than 25 articles. I'm concerned that most of the manufacturing plants aren't notable. You seem to cite a combination of press releases and trivial coverage. Why is Adams notable? voorts (talk/contributions) 20:59, 20 July 2026 (UTC)
@Voorts: I think the notable, deceased person (non-BLP), J. Douglas Adams article has reliable, independent sources from these newspapers like Brentwood News, Contra Costa Times, and Brentwood Press. Thomasfan1916[built buses?] 21:05, 20 July 2026 (UTC)
Brentwood News and Contra Costa Times are both owned by Media News Group. I'd count them as one source for notability purposes. This Brentwood Press piece is a eulogy by a colleague, not independent reporting. voorts (talk/contributions) 21:53, 20 July 2026 (UTC)
Also, a another Brentwood Press piece from 2007 is a made by a author, not by a colleague, like other reliable sources from Brentwood News and Contra Costa Times, this source is independent. Thomasfan1916[built buses?] 02:01, 21 July 2026 (UTC)

 Done Sohom (talk) 22:56, 18 July 2026 (UTC)

I have been quite active on Wikipedia. I spend considerable time identifying and reverting obvious vandalism, fixing BLP issues immediately and cleaning up unsourced and dubious additions in the articles I follow and watch. I would really like to obtain the privileges to review pending changes so I can help ensure that all articles substantiate edits under the pending changes in good faith and in compliance with the policy. I understand that most of the work would consist of detecting obvious bad things such as vandalism, BLP breaches, plagiarism, libel, personal attacks and accepting edits that passed the basic checks without going into extensive discussions on sources, bias or expert accuracy (these are discussed by the watchers later). I have studied Wikipedia:Reviewing pending changes in detail and I am aware of the instructions, I will accept edits that do not seem to violate some core principles, revert or correct wrong ones and do not carry out even basic review more than that. ArchivioItalia 05:59, 19 July 2026 (UTC)

 Done * Pppery * in solidarity 00:30, 21 July 2026 (UTC)

For a little over a week and a half, I've been patrolling recent changes to spot vandalism or otherwise disruptive edits. Occasionally, I come across such an edit on a page that's had pending changes protection applied to it. For these kinds of edits, while I'm able to revert bad-faith edits, I'm unable to accept good-faith edits and must leave that task to those with the pending changes reviewer permission.

I feel that this setup is less-than-optimal. If I were able to both reject and accept those changes, I would be reducing the backlog of pending changes and could thereby expedite other processes on Wikipedia by giving other users less work. Considering this, I'd like to request the pending changes permission in order to do so. Salmon of Knowledge (talk) 16:47, 19 July 2026 (UTC)

OK, I've reviewed what I was told at my last request. I now have over 200 mainspace edits. I've tried singing up to CVU/A, and now I'm just waiting. Requesting rollback permissions to try AntiVandal, Interceptor, and Huggle. And everything else. Patrolling RecentChanges seems to be the only thing I do nowadays, and I would like rollback to be able to fight vandals better. AZenit3 [Chat?-stuff I've done] 01:47, 25 May 2026 (UTC)

Been patrolling recent changes for some time now with Twinkle, and I would like to try using more advanced tools like Huggle which require this permission. TheNerdzilla (talk) 13:45, 29 May 2026 (UTC)

Hello. I have rollback in my account at Simple Wikipedia. Having tried this evening to counter the activities of ~2026-33439-05 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), I think it would be useful to have rollback here too. I work almost exclusively on cricket articles at present, and it is a subject that frequently attracts vandals. Thanks. Jack (talk) 19:28, 6 June 2026 (UTC)

Reason for requesting rollback rights: I have been doing RC patrol for the last while, and would like rollback to be able to more efficiently fight vandalism. I understand that my changes that I make while using this tool are my responsibility. signed, A Random Hylian (Parry)(swing) 12:26, 15 June 2026 (UTC)

I've been patrolling recent changes frequently. While my account is still somewhat new (nearly 2 months old), I do have over 1.2k edits so far - with many involving reverting vandalism (but I have also wrote new articles, reported users, participated in afd, and improved articles). I always warn users after I revert their edits. Ever since I have gained access to Twinkle, it has made patrolling so much easier. I would like rollback permissions to be able to use the antivandal and interceptor tools too. Those tools would make reverting much more efficent. FlammablePizza (talk) 19:29, 18 June 2026 (UTC)

Hi. I've been reviewing drafts at AfC, COI requests and NPP for quite a while now. Might consider trialing Huggle in the medium term as part of my modest toolbox. Thanks :) PK650 (talk) 06:36, 25 June 2026 (UTC)

Hi, I am requesting rollback rights in order to combat vandalism more easily with WP:Interceptor, particularly on recent changes, which I have been patrolling for a while. I have read and understood WP:Vandalism, and aim to follow all of its guidelines. Every nonconstructive edit I have reverted (mainly via Twinkle), I have added a user warning to the editor's talk page. Axolitl (talk | contribs) 19:50, 25 June 2026 (UTC)

I am an Extended Confirmed editor with over 2 months of experience, 1,000+ edits, and a steady daily editing pace. I spend a significant amount of time on Recent Changes patrol using Twinkle, where I regularly revert blatant vandalism and issue appropriate user warnings/welcomes. I am requesting the native rollback tool to handle obvious vandalism and page-blanking more efficiently, as well as to use counter-vandalism gadgets like Huggle and Interceptor that require it. I understand the tool is strictly for clear-cut vandalism and will never use it in content disputes. MarioWonderExpert talk) 13:17, 1 July 2026 (UTC)

  • Polite bump. This request has been pending for more than two weeks. I currently have over 1,200 total edits and continue to actively use Twinkle for counter-vandalism. I would appreciate it if an administrator could take a look when time permits. Thank you! MarioWonderExpert (talk) 01:47, 17 July 2026 (UTC)

I would like to request Rollback rights. My last request was on 18 May. According to previous advice, I have tried to follow a clear workflow, including issuing warnings and reporting Vandalism, Block evasion, and Disruptive editing at AIV, RFPP, and AN/EW. In addition, I use Twinkle for warnings, reports, and reverts. AriuCH (talk) 18:27, 2 July 2026 (UTC)

Hello! I would like to request rollback permissions to streamline correcting cascading vandalism. I have no history of editorial conflict, have experience in anti-vandalism work, a healthy edit count, and would also like to integrate automation into my editing workflow. Additionally, I am aware that rollback permissions are not — ipso facto — a license to act, and that any action taken must be taken with the assumption of the rolled-back edit(s) being undeniable vandalism. If there are any particular concerns I do not address, please feel free to inform me thereof. Thank you! Chat-qui-Aboie (talk) 06:32, 7 July 2026 (UTC) Chat-qui-Aboie (talk) 06:32, 7 July 2026 (UTC)

 Not done Too little overall experience to qualify for advanced permissions. * Pppery * in solidarity 00:40, 21 July 2026 (UTC)

I've recently been using SWViewer and Twinkle to revert vandalism, so this permission would be very useful for me. I'm already very familiar with how it works, as I already have this permission on other Wikimedia projects. -- 🐦‍🔥 Aws 💬 Talk 14:23, 12 July 2026 (UTC)

I would like to rquest Rollback permissions firstly in order to make use of tools like Huggle & AntiVandal. Secondly rollback permissions will allow me to increase the speed of my workflow as most of it consists of RC patrolling edits by unregistered & new accounts. My contribution history demonstrates that I have multiple months of RC Patrol experience and no history of edit warring. At the time of writing this I have 656 live edits of which 220 are in the Main namespace and 262 are in the User Talk namespace, this shows my track record of consistently notifying editors when reverting their edits. Vydrakk (talk) 10:03, 15 July 2026 (UTC)

Hi! I've been fixing small mistakes in Wikipedia off and on for about eight years now (more specifically five years in the English Wikipedia, eight in Finnish Wikipedia), ending up with about 740 global edits, out of which roughly 500 are in the English Wikipedia, and recently I've been interested in upping my participation in patrolling recent edits. I've been eyeing using Interceptor to improve the work, but that unfortunately is off-limits to non-rollbackers. Thanks! Seqv (talk) 22:17, 16 July 2026 (UTC)

 Not done Not enough recent anti-vandalism experience. * Pppery * in solidarity 00:41, 21 July 2026 (UTC)

I would like to becomes a rollbacker because I am experienced in reverting vandalism. I already have experience from 2024, but I went back to doing it this year. I am aware of counter vandalism using the filter log. I revert and warn with editing tool Twinkle, which is mostly used to revert vandalism. Even if someone makes disruptive edits or removes content, I am also quick to revert and warn them. Rollbacking will be easier and quicker for me to revert edits that are problematic, vandalism, and disruptive. Beyhive Navy 🐝🪖 (talk) 11:24, 17 July 2026 (UTC)

Requests for template editor

Template editor

Hi. I am requesting TE rights so I can make edits to template-protected template faster. I have numerous (over 5) template requests, of which I believe around 5 have been accepted, and have made over 3 sandbox edits. My main template edite are those which help readability on Dark Mode while minimally affecting light mode, such as my series of edite to Wdefcon templates ({{Edit COI/backlog}}, {{AfC information}}, etc.). With TE, I would be able to make more of these, alongside others. Axolitl (talk | contribs) 22:49, 14 July 2026 (UTC)

Requests for temporary account IP viewer

Temporary account IP viewer

Requesting temporary account IP viewer rights to help with counter-vandalism on Eastern European and Balkan articles. This will also let me spot disruptive and banned accounts and catch sockpuppet evasion. Nishjan (talk) 18:31, 18 July 2026 (UTC)

 Done Sohom (talk) 23:03, 18 July 2026 (UTC)

I'd like to request temporary account IP viewer rights, just in case more than one temporary account disrupts Wikipedia. I reported two edit wars, one containing multiple unregistered users and one with a registered user. On a template, I also reverted vandalism two weeks after a temporary account vandalized it. Slackintosh (talk) 21:30, 18 July 2026 (UTC)

I regularly check for and remove/tag certain blog/tabloid sources that are frequently reintroduced to pages by nobility SPAs, many of whom are block-evading. When I can identify an IP-hopping LOUTSOCK (e.g. "Brazil IP obsessed with descendants of Pedro II") it's easier to anticipate where else disruption might be occurring under different IP addresses.
