Wikipedia:Requests for page protection
 | This page has an administrative backlog that requires the attention of willing administrators. Please replace this notice with {{no admin backlog}} when the backlog is cleared. |
| Welcome—request protection of a page, file, or template here. | ||
|---|---|---|
|
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.
Request addition of protection to a page, or increasing the current protection level
Request removal of protection from a page, or reducing the current protection level
Request a specific edit be made to a protected page
Request the non-urgent protection of multiple pages that do not require immediate administrator attention

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – As has repeatedly been the case, the page is under attack by a group of temp accounts that change sourced information (specifically plug listings) without sources and without comment, and ignore all invitations to discuss. , , , , .
Since the page has been haunted by similar problems for years, I suggest indefinite semi-protection. Gawaon (talk) 07:24, 1 October 2026 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Addition of an IMDB page for someone who happens to (perhaps) have the same name, with zero evidence that they are the same person, is a vile attack that is an extreme BLP violation. Ldm1954 (talk) 12:50, 1 October 2026 (UTC)

Current requests for reduction in protection level
Indefinite pending changes: Persistent vandalism – Requesting reduction in protection to pending changes, page was inf semi-protected over 3 years ago. The page also desperately needs updates and allowing more people to submit edits may help solve this. Szxq (talk) 05:21, 25 September 2026 (UTC)

Change “Collapse of the June ceasefire (July)” to “Collapse of the June ceasefire (20 June - 31 July)” because the June ceasefire ended on 19 June, not 30 June. ~2026-47054-03 (talk) 00:02, 23 September 2026 (UTC)
- Is a source for this already in the article? Daniel Case (talk) 02:34, 27 September 2026 (UTC)
OpenAI has decided to pause its training on all versions ~2026-50272-23 (talk) 15:48, 27 September 2026 (UTC)
Please remove the picture that depicts the prophet Muhammad PBUH as pointing towards the moon. The way the figures are drawn are clearly used to make a mockery out of him and the Arabs at that time and I think it’s lacks any amount of respect for the Arabs or Muslims when reading this article. Therefore I am writing this to request for the removal of the drawing because it is neither accurate nor respectful. ~2026-52882-92 (talk) 14:00, 1 October 2026 (UTC)
