Wikipedia:Requests for page protection
| 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

SC Toulon
Reason: Youtuber zealand is playing the game football manager and using this team. This seems to result in some viewers vandalizing the page adding him as manager etc.
Similar ting happened to the UD Melilla in the past Øln (talk) 21:15, 13 November 2026 (UTC)
- Temporary Pending changes protection until zealand is done playing with this football club is likely sufficient Øln (talk) 21:24, 13 November 2026 (UTC)
Question: About how long would that be? Daniel Case (talk) 04:35, 14 November 2026 (UTC)

Reason: Edit-warring and disruptive editing organised by a set of related WP:SPA. Jingiby (talk) 17:48, 14 November 2026 (UTC)

Garbage
Unprotection: Will be the Article for Improvement and on the main page in two days. The AfI should be unprotected so that potential new users can edit the page. InfernoHues (talk) 06:40, 14 November 2026 (UTC)
- InfernoHues, this does not overrule protection policy. Did you contact the protecting admin? They are only semiactive, but may respond. – Muboshgu (talk) 15:17, 14 November 2026 (UTC)
- @Courcelles pinging for reference. dualcerbtalk 15:26, 14 November 2026 (UTC)
- The AfI RfC concluded that the articles selected should
normally remain unprotected
. Apologies for forgetting to contact Courcelles. InfernoHues (talk) 19:25, 14 November 2026 (UTC)- "Should" or "normally" does not equate to "must" or "mandatory". And "remain unprotected" implies the candidate was unprotected to begin with; it does not mean "unprotect an already-protected article." ~Anachronist (who / me) (talk) 22:39, 14 November 2026 (UTC)
- @FaviFake @Dualcerb @Anachronist There is consensus to not protect the article. NewAccount7295 (talk) 22:48, 14 November 2026 (UTC)
- Where? And how does that override the protection policy? I see no justification for opening up a known vandal magnet to all, creating an undue burden on the community to monitor and clean up. If Courcelles does not reply, I am inclined to decline this request. I advise finding another AFI candidate. ~Anachronist (who / me) (talk) 22:49, 14 November 2026 (UTC)
- Fair enough, I'll propose a reroll of that article. (edit to add signature) InfernoHues (talk) 23:13, 14 November 2026 (UTC)

Unprotection: 12 years protected, deceased admin, did have some prior protections but I think this is okay for trial. dualcerbtalk 15:21, 14 November 2026 (UTC)
- Question: In the instructions at the top of this page it states "DO NOT request a reduction in protection if...your reasoning for reducing protection is basically "a long time has passed" without supporting details". So could you expand as to why you believe the protection should be removed other than the duration of the protection? Ponyobons mots 19:45, 14 November 2026 (UTC)
