    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.

    Urgent Request for Protection for the Wikipedia Page of Espérance Sportive de Tunis

    Reason: Dear Wikipedia Administrators,

    I am writing to request a protection of the Wikipedia page of Espérance Sportive de Tunis, particularly due to the anticipated surge in global attention surrounding the club's participation in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup in the USA, which will take place in June 2025.

    As the club will be competing in this prestigious event, it is expected that there will be a significant increase in traffic to the page. Unfortunately, this may also lead to attempts to introduce false claims, misinformation, and vandalism. Given the importance of maintaining accurate and reliable content, I believe it is essential to safeguard the page from such disruptions.

    Therefore, I respectfully request that the page be any protection you see fit for a reasonable duration before and after the event to preserve the integrity of the article. This will ensure that all information on the page remains correct and that readers receive reliable details about the club during a period of heightened interest.

    Thank you for considering this request. I trust that the protection will help maintain the page’s accuracy and reliability, especially at this critical time.

    Best regards, Mejri Fares (talk) 13:11, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    (Non-administrator comment) I don't think this should be protected per WP:PREEMPTIVE, and there isn't much vandalism on that page. Myrealnamm's Alternate Account (talk) 14:56, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Catherine Fookes

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Morphing IP adding sourced, but very no-NPOV, writing to misrepresent the subject of a parliamentary vote. Andy Dingley (talk) 13:13, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Talk:Squid Game

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Persistent WP:NOTFORUM by various IP ranges dating back to January 2024 and earlier. With the recent season 2 premiere, this has become more constant. — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 13:15, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Reason: Persistent disruptive editing & addition of unsourced content. Waxworker (talk) 14:15, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Ahmed Al-Kaf

    Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – It's been over three months since Al-Kaf's controversial ruling in the World Cup Qualifiers, and unregistered users (the majority of which are from Indonesia) have still been vandalizing his page. Call me paranoid, but I believe the page should be indefinitely semi-protected. OpalYosutebito (talk) 14:44, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    2024 Kansas City Chiefs season

    Temporary semi-protection: Addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content. For at least 3 weeks. Out of precaution, admittedly, since the Chiefs (and the Eagles) are heading to Super Bowl LIX. 2601AC47 (talk·contribs·my rights) Isn't a IP anon 14:56, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Elon Musk gesture controversy

    Temporary pending changes: Highly politicized article with inevitable potential for POV pushing, which has already seen some IP edits be reverted. (Yes, I'm aware there is a current deletion discussion and a current move request for this, but the deletion discussion seems decided on keeping it and the move request wouldn't prevent protection.).

    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.

    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.
