    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 remove obvious vandalism.

    Antonio Tejero

    Reason: While the article has been "quiet" today... The matter of dispute is not "light" ... It's his unconfirmed (even denied by his son) death... I request at least a week's verified users. No IPs. Given the seriousness of saying someone (even a 93yo) is dead. CoryGlee (talk) 22:37, 23 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Indefinite semi-protection. Sushidude21! (talk) 02:56, 24 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    @Sushidude21! You didn't give a reason for requesting protection. We don't go straight to indefinite protection for a page that's never been protected before. Toadspike [Talk] 11:03, 24 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Draft:Tareq Amin

    Temporary semi confirmed protection: Persistent disruptive editing – I created this draft in order to remedy two hijackings at Tariq Amin. The hijackings involved some socking (investigation page). Since drafting, and despite noted deficiencies, it was submitted twice to WP:AFC (I declined both times as unimproved). AFC submission without improvement in this case by a noob and an ip are disruptive and look like a continuation of the trash quality edits promoting this subject. I don't foresee an end, but let's start with temporary protection. Unless it's clearly a permanent issue to someone. JFHJr (㊟) 03:24, 24 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Kiss of the Spider Woman (2025 film)

    Reason: Disruptive edits by lead actress fan-base, mostly by unregistered users, specially regarding a potential award season run for the film and its poor box-office performance. Martineden83 (talk) 14:53, 24 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Bini (group)

    Reason: Vandalism by IPs. Borgenland (talk) 15:23, 24 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Blossoms Shanghai

    Semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – It appears that a number of IP editors have been repeatedly removing substantial portions of content that include references, citing WP:V as justification. While I prefer not to assess the appropriateness of their conduct, the removal of multiple referenced sections does seem rather unusual and merits attention.

    Current requests for reduction in protection level

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

    Before posting a request to this page, 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.
