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.

Reason: WP:REFSPAM/addition of poorly sourced content. UndergroundMan3000 (talk) 02:05, 20 December 2025 (UTC)

  Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Warn the editor then report to WP:AIV if it continues. Callanecc (talkcontribslogs) 09:08, 20 December 2025 (UTC)

Reason: Lots of vandalism in recent history from IP/temp accounts. "Chud" is a funny internet word right now for reasons completely unrelated to this article. Might warrant a several month semi-protection; I've heard it for a few years but it's been used more in the last few months. See https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/chud#Noun_2 and https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/chud for background on "chud" as meme slang. Edit7hesadparts (talk) 04:15, 20 December 2025 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Recently died. Increased disruptive editing from IPs. Teegarden's Star b (talk) 06:27, 20 December 2025 (UTC)

Note : The above user is engaging in edit war and removing sourced content. When protecting do not lock the article with his distruptive edit. He has been removing the sourced content mentioning Sreenivasan caste in the article, which Sreenivasan himself is vocal of. Ajesh pp (talk) 06:50, 20 December 2025 (UTC)
This is a fresh account created by the IP who has been adding caste promotions. Caste was a regressive system of discriminative classification in India. It is generally not added into a BLP unless it connects to the person's notability. Caste has nothing to do with Sreenivasan's notability and hence irrelevant. It is nothing but promotional. The user is a possible sockpuppet of one of those long-term "caste warriors" promoting Thiyya/Ezhava caste in across various articles.--Teegarden's Star b (talk) 07:18, 20 December 2025 (UTC)
The user added three sources, two of them - Ashimukham and Marunadan Malayali fails WP:RS. In the reliable third source, Sreenivasan clearly says "HE HAS NO CASTE OR RLEIGION" (use Google translate). So, this user is adding something the subject of the article does not like to affiliate with.--Teegarden's Star b (talk) 07:34, 20 December 2025 (UTC)

Current requests for reduction in protection level

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

Before posting a request for unprotection, please discuss it with the protecting administrator first. You can create a request below only if you receive no response from them.

To find out which administrator protected the page, go to the page's edit history and click on the "View logs for this page" link (located underneath the page's title). The protecting administrator is listed in the protection log entry, next to the words "protected", "changed protection level", or "configured pending changes". If there are a large number of log entries on the page, use the drop-down menu near the top of the page and select "Protection log" or "Pending changes log" to filter the logs accordingly.

DO NOT request a reduction in protection if...

  • ...you are being prevented from editing the page. A desire to change content is not a valid reason for unprotection. Instead:
    • If you can edit the article's talk page, use the WP:Edit Request Wizard to propose a change on the article's talk page. Include an explanation of the exact content that you want to change, and what the content will be afterward.
    • If the article's talk page is protected, you may propose a change at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection/Edit.
  • ...your reasoning for reducing protection is that the article has not been vandalized. That simply means the protection is working as intended.
  • ...your reasoning for reducing protection is basically "a long time has passed" without supporting details.
  • ...you haven't contacted the protecting administrator.

You may request a protection reduction below if...

  • ...you want to change the protection level of a template or module from full protection to template protection. You may add the request to this page without having to discuss it with the protecting administrator first.
  • ...you need to remove creation protection from a location where no page exists (redlinked pages) after a draft version of the intended article is prepared beforehand and ready to be published.
  • ...you are proposing a trial reduction in protection for a page that has been protected for several years, provided the proposal is supported by evidence such as talk page activity, page views, page traffic, number of watchers, frequency of edit requests, and prior history of vandalism.
  • ...the protecting administrator is inactive or has not responded to you in several days.

If you cannot locate your request, make sure to check the request archives to see if it's been moved there. Only requests that have been recently answered will still be listed here.

Reason: Removal of pending changes protection: The article is once again under indefinite semi-protection, so pending changes protection is redundant. Darnitol Medicine (talk) 09:21, 20 December 2025 (UTC)

Current requests for edits to a protected page

Request a specific edit be made to a protected page
Please add an edit request to the talk page of the protected page before adding an edit request here

Requests for specific edits should be made on the talk page of the protected article. You can create an edit request below only if the talk page is also protected, preventing you from adding a request there.

Otherwise, this is the correct place to use in order to add an edit request if you are unable to add one to the article's talk page. Please see the top of this page for instructions on how to properly add a request.

Requests for autopatrolled

Autopatrolled

Hello, I'd like to request autopatrolled rights, seeing as I've made 32 mainspace articles, none of which are stubs (I do not rate my own created pages). Thus far, I've focused on creating pages related to music, most of which pertain to WP:Albums. Thanks, Fundgy (talk) 06:10, 9 December 2025 (UTC)

Quick note about Rough Trade Records soundtracks. That was meant to be a category but I forgot to add "Category:" in front, so I requested its deletion myself. Fundgy (talk) 06:17, 9 December 2025 (UTC)

Hello! I was recently recommended by Aszx5000 on my talk page to apply for Autopatrolled permission. I have made about 6,700 edits and authored 88 articles and counting, which I always aim to publish at C or B class quality. I believe I have a strong understanding of relevant policy which I'm always striving to improve, and am always open to feedback and correction. Cheers! Johnson524 07:19, 10 December 2025 (UTC)

(Non-administrator comment) Can't believe I missed this! @Johnson524 has 18 GAs to date and 86 total mainspace creations, of which none have been deleted. Their articles, such as Dobropillia offensive, are extremely well-written and are researched to a high standard with verifiable sources. My previous interactions with them have been positive. Their draft Draft:Durrr Burger was criticised for not meeting WP:GNG and having MOS:IN-U problems, but they took the feedback very well. I hope @Johnson524 doesn't mind me saying that I think they deserve AP! 11WB (talk) 23:21, 18 December 2025 (UTC)

Hello there! I would like to request the autopatrolled user right. I have read and understood WP:APCRITERIA, and have understanding of Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, inter alia, biographies of living persons, copyright, verifiability, and notability. In recent months, I have become more prolific in article creation and have been careful to ensure that my work meets content and sourcing standards. I have five successful DYK nominations, which shows my familiarity with quality requirements and review processes. Thank you. ❯❯❯ Raydann(Talk) 08:05, 15 December 2025 (UTC)

My name is The Knowledge Pirate. I was previously known as Scorpions13256, and Scorpions1325. Since I created my first account in 2010, I have created 77 active articles. None have been deleted, and I have not had any issues brought to my attention about my articles since I started editing with this account. I have 7 DYK's, but no GA or FA's. Other articles include Mamie Colvin, Turner County High School, and Nettie Johnson. I understand WP:GNG and WP:BLP better than I did when I became more prolific in 2020, and I think getting this right will save reviewers a lot of work. Once I am done with a long-term project, I intend to create a lot more articles. The Knowledge Pirate (talk) 20:32, 15 December 2025 (UTC)

Hello! I would like to request autopatrolled rights. I have authored 29 articles thus far and have enjoyed being part of the Wikipedia community for the last few years. I have a particular interest in creating and editing articles on the music, literature, and history of Scandinavia and Iceland (being multilingual, I am able to make use of sources in all the relevant languages). I have a solid understanding of WP:GNG and WP:BLP and strive to create high-quality articles that meet content and sourcing standards. I hope my work demonstrates that I am able to work independently and produce good articles according to the guidelines. I am always open to feedback and instructions, and do my best to interact with others here in a friendly and civil manner. Thanks! Cosimoprimo (talk) 12:01, 19 December 2025 (UTC)
Requests for AutoWikiBrowser access

AutoWikiBrowser

I am requesting AutoWikiBrowser access to assist with high-volume, non-controversial maintenance and cleanup work that is inefficient to do manually, including routine formatting and copyediting fixes consistent with the MOS, straightforward citation-template and reference formatting corrections that do not change meaning, clear link and disambiguation fixes where the correct target is obvious from context, and basic template or category housekeeping when the changes are purely mechanical; I will review edits before saving, use clear edit summaries, avoid contentious areas and biographies of living persons except for unquestionably safe mechanical changes, and pause to seek talk page consensus if any edit pattern is questioned or could reasonably be disputed.

Reason for requesting confirmed rights

Requests for extended confirmation

Extended confirmed

Reason for requesting extended confirmed rights: I have created a few articles, which are currently only available in English, and none have been translated into other languages, such as Chinese. Most of the content was written by me, and I don't believe the articles will be translated into Chinese anytime soon, especially the Quanzhou–Xiamen–Zhangzhou Intercity Railway Line, which is a project from China. Thanks! WxProHaha (talk) 07:22, 19 December 2025 (UTC)

(The above note was worded poorly), I find the review/accepts at Dean Roy, Aarron Deliu and Succes Nic Com to be low effort and "easy" reviews that were only done after the AFDs were initiated by other folks.

Hi, I am an active editor familiar with New Pages Patrolling and the relevant policies, including WP:NPP, WP:GNG, WP:BLP, and WP:RS. I regularly assess drafts and new pages for notability, sourcing, and promotional or problematic content.

With the current backlog of unreviewed new pages, I believe I can help reduce the load by carrying out careful, policy based reviews. Thank you for your consideration. Pizza on Pineapple (Let's eat🍕) 11:02, 16 December 2025 (UTC)

I am an experienced user with over 1400 mainspace edits and 3400 total. I have a large amount of experience with vandalism reversion and speedy deletions, and although I received several warnings as a new user, I am now much better at understanding the deletion criteria. I have also been given AfC, rollback, and pending changes rights. Although I don't have as much experience writing articles as others, I have a small amount of major contributions such as those at Black rat. Somepinkdude (talk) 01:30, 18 December 2025 (UTC)

I’ve been doing regular maintenance work, including adding and fixing reliable sources, addressing broken citations, and tagging drafts and articles for notability, sourcing, and BLP issues. I've spend time reading through and becoming familiar with the relevant policies (WP:V WP:RS WP:N WP:BLP) and apply them carefully when reviewing content.

Requests for page mover

Page mover

Hi, I'm a trial NPP and AFC reviewer and doing new page patrol requires moving some articles to draft for better improvements as they're not suitable in the main space, it will be more better if I can move articles without leaving redirects. This right would also be helpful for when I close RMs so that I don't need to request the move be performed at WP:RM/TR afterwards, as well as potentially helping out with moves there myself.

Hiya, I'm a frequent at WP:AFC so I think this might be helpful for moving pages over redirects with history and suppressing redirects to help reduce the admin workload with R2 and G6 deletions. I'd also like to help out a bit at RM/TR since it can have a big backlog at times, and to be able to create editnotices as well.

Reason for requesting pending changes reviewer rights:

I would like to help review pending changes to maintain accuracy and neutrality in articles. Vodnir (talk) 23:23, 15 December 2025 (UTC)

I would like to request the Pending Changes Reviewer permission. I am an extended confirmed user with over 550 edits, mainly focused on biographies, Indian politics, legislation, and sourcing from reliable secondary sources.

I regularly work on semi-protected and sensitive articles and would like to help review pending edits to reduce backlog and ensure compliance with Wikipedia’s policies on neutrality, verifiability, and biographies of living persons.

I am familiar with core content policies such as WP:NPOV, WP:V, WP:BLP, and WP:RS, and I will use this permission carefully and only for clearly constructive edits. دثلميح (talk) 04:06, 17 December 2025 (UTC)

I already have rollback, so pending changes reviewer could come in handy. CutlassCiera 20:16, 19 December 2025 (UTC)
Requests for rollback

Rollback

I would like this right because it is required for many anti-vandalism scripts/programs, such as WikiShield and Huggle. This will allow me to be more efficient when reverting. Speedrunz (talk) 01:35, 18 December 2025 (UTC)

I would like rollback permissions to help quickly revert vandalism and undo unproductive edits. As a pending changes reviewer, I have done this on the proactive side and am simply looking to do it on the reactive side. I have been patrolling recent changes, new articles, various wikiproject tagged pages, and more. This will simply allow me better access to do so. Also -- I have rollback permissions on Wikidata.

Reason for requesting rollback rights: I'd like to use tools like AntiVandal to curb vandalism Framl (talk) 01:59, 19 December 2025 (UTC)

Requests for template editor

Template editor

I'm requesting template editor rights so that I can make changes to certain templates such as {{Symbol}} without requesting assistance. I built the fairly popular templates of {{Tweet}} and {{Pin section}} and made improvements to others. I have over 300 edits in the Template namespace, and my creation of various Wikipedia user scripts help demonstrate my technical competence. Thank you for your consideration!

Requests for temporary account IP viewer

Temporary account IP viewer

Hello team, I have been actively editing, reviewing AfCand act against vandalism through recent changes patrolling. I struggle with IP edits to find out its details. I hope this IP reviewer access could be more helpful to find the pattern and act accordingly. Will be used only for this purpose, if granted. Thank you AlphaCore talk 00:50, 19 December 2025 (UTC)

You've only been back one month from a three-year sockpuppetry block with a question of spamming as well. I'd like to see a longer track record of good behavior prior to granting this right. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 04:51, 19 December 2025 (UTC)

Hello all. I've been editing since 2006 and created my current and only account in 2010. At times I've been very active on the project, but in a bit of a lull right now, being busy IRL. I am however still actively editing from time to time. Regardless of my level of activity, I do fight vandalism when I find it and would like to continue to do so. I have read, understood, and will abide by, the pre-requisite TAIV policy/Foundation guideline. Thank you for your time and Happy Holidays to you and yours... - \\'cԼF 07:52, 19 December 2025 (UTC)

  Already done (automated response): This user already has the "temporary-account-viewer" user right. MusikBot talk 08:00, 19 December 2025 (UTC)
Thewolfchild, as the bot says, you were given this right back in August. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 10:08, 19 December 2025 (UTC)
Well, that's embarrassing. Seems I forgot. I read something about it today that prompted me to apply. Sorry for any bother. Cheers - \\'cԼF 12:27, 19 December 2025 (UTC)
