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

Painda Khel

Reason: **Request for Page Protection: Painda Khel**

I would like to request semi-protection for the Wikipedia article **[Painda Khel](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Painda_Khel)**.

This article contains historical and genealogical information about the Painda Khel clan, its association with the Tanoli tribe, and its historical background in the Hazara region of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan.

Since the article covers specific historical and genealogical information, I believe it is important to maintain its accuracy, reliability, and consistency.

I respectfully request that an administrator review the article and consider applying semi-protection to reduce the risk of unconstructive edits, vandalism, or the addition of unsupported information.

I understand that Wikipedia is a collaborative encyclopedia and that legitimate improvements by other editors should remain possible. My intention is not to claim ownership of the article, but to help preserve the accuracy and quality of its content.

Thank you for your consideration.

Note to admins: This request, containing Markdown, is AI-generated. Theeverywhereperson talk here In solidarity! 15:24, 15 November 2026 (UTC)
Not only that, but it could be declined as a request for pre-emptive protection. Theeverywhereperson talk here In solidarity! 15:24, 15 November 2026 (UTC)
Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Only one revert in the last day or so and minimal editing before that. Yes, the request was pre-emptive but we should still look at the page history as it might genuinely warrant protection and that should not be denied solely because the requesting editor didn't know how to properly frame their request. Likewise I'm not going to decline a request just because someone used AI, for that same reason. I'm an administrator, not a bureaucrat. Daniel Case (talk) 21:02, 15 November 2026 (UTC)

Antonio López de Santa Anna

Reason: Recent vandalizing by numerous temporary accounts; possible sockpuppetry. HelloIAmLucas (talk) 11:39, 15 November 2026 (UTC)

User(s) blocked. Underlying IP range blocked. tony 19:21, 15 November 2026 (UTC)

User:LarawagArchiveBot

Indefinite semi-protection: User request within own user space. Not going to be on the account a lot, and therefore cannot check for vandalism. Requesting this just as a safe measure. If this gets declined, could you at least do pending changes protection? Larawag✦ (talk) 13:05, 15 November 2026 (UTC)

Base user pages are protected from editing by unconfirmed accounts and anonymous temporary account users by an edit filter, are they not? — Malcolmxl5 (talk) 22:28, 15 November 2026 (UTC)

Voyager 2

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Socking of Salebot1. Beyhive Navy (talk) 13:08, 15 November 2026 (UTC)

Declined as stale. It looks like they've moved on. Re-request if they start making edits to the article again. tony 17:13, 15 November 2026 (UTC)
Got it. Beyhive Navy (talk) 20:42, 15 November 2026 (UTC)

Talk:Death of Michael Jackson

Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing, with multiple WP:NOTAFORUM violations. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 14:28, 15 November 2026 (UTC)

  • Automated comment: One or more pages in this request appear to already be protected. Please confirm.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 21:12, 15 November 2026 (UTC)
Semi-protected indefinitely. Daniel Case (talk) 21:13, 15 November 2026 (UTC)

Major film studios

Reason: Temporary semi-protection requested. On November 13, a temporary account restored a section that was removed, without an edit summary. The same account made another substantial addition on November 14, which another editor removed as out of scope. There were also several edits by temporary accounts with no explanatory summary early on November 15, which were later reverted. Dragonspark (talk) 16:16, 15 November 2026 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – might wanna go longer since this page was protected in the past and the socks have returned. -- Wesoree (talk·contribs) 17:00, 15 November 2026 (UTC)

In addition also semi Draper, Utah for the same reason. -- Wesoree (talk·contribs) 17:00, 15 November 2026 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Repeated addition of AI slop by TA who is hopping between IPs. msk 17:53, 15 November 2026 (UTC)

User(s) blocked. Pblocked tony 19:37, 15 November 2026 (UTC)

John Hunyadi

Reason: IP vandalised the article, now his red link is doing the same with his single purpose account. The same attack happened here, which is protected now: Hunyadi family I think this article need a permanent protection against not autoconfirmed editors. This is an obsessed topic, even in real life https://hungarytoday.hu/romanian-citizen-removes-flag-from-hungarian-monument-in-belgrade/ OrionNimrod (talk) 18:00, 15 November 2026 (UTC)

Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. tony 19:33, 15 November 2026 (UTC)

Extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement – Contentious topics/Arab–Israeli conflict. Equivalent-Text2598 (talk) 18:12, 15 November 2026 (UTC)

Just to add on, the talk page says it is ECP, but it isn't.
Cheers. Equivalent-Text2598 (talk) 18:14, 15 November 2026 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – Repeated addition of unsourced content by TAs. 10mmsocket (talk) 18:23, 15 November 2026 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Ymblanter (talk) 22:38, 15 November 2026 (UTC)

No-AI label

Reason: Potential vandalism or unauthorized appropriation by individuals affiliated with major AI technology companies. Mickwellington (talk) 18:26, 15 November 2026 (UTC)

Declined – Pages are not protected preemptively. tony 19:30, 15 November 2026 (UTC)

Felice Nova Noordhoff

Reason: Over the past month or so, IP editors have been disruptively editing the page in a way to promote puffery for the subject. I don't know why, as the subject hasn't done anything recently to attract such attention. I've tried to return the page to normal and they just keep coming back like weeds. Semi-protection or Extended confirmed protection should get a handle on that. Trillfendi (talk) 19:16, 15 November 2026 (UTC)

Declined If they continue it might be appropriate for WP:ANI, but only after you try chatting with them on a talk page. They might just be trying to help and don't know our guidelines. tony 19:28, 15 November 2026 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 3 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. tony 21:15, 15 November 2026 (UTC)

Template:Elon Musk series

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Indefinite protection is necessary since this is a template that is used in many significant articles, and anything written in the template will appear in those articles. Annh07 (talk) 20:33, 15 November 2026 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of one week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Recent vandalism does require short-term protection. Indefinite protection is not on the table yet as we do not preemptively protect pages. The Bushranger One ping only 22:54, 15 November 2026 (UTC)

Talk:Shroud of Turin

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent WP:TE – The talk page is a cesspool of WP:PAs. tgeorgescu (talk) 20:34, 15 November 2026 (UTC)
