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.

Reason: A page highly susceptible to vandalism due to the highly contentious issue of the Constitutional Tribunal in Poland. Szturnek¿odp? 08:34, 31 October 2026 (UTC)

Declined – Pages are not protected preemptively. The Bushranger One ping only 03:07, 1 November 2026 (UTC)

Lego Dimensions

Reason: Someone keeps adding information for a non-existant Year 3 when the game ceased development after Year 2. Visokor (talk) 08:36, 31 October 2026 (UTC)

List of people scheduled to be executed in the United States

Reason: Persistent edit warring by IPs HaileyChoi9 (talk) 09:01, 31 October 2026 (UTC)

User talk:Strongshorts

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Can I please have my talk page protected for a week or two because I have seen an influx of Vandalism from my page Strongshorts (talk) 09:36, 31 October 2026 (UTC)

Ryanair

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Danners430 tweaks made 10:01, 31 October 2026 (UTC)

List of people scheduled to be executed in the United States

Reason: The socks are back after the previous protection expired. Probably we need extended confirmed protection. Ymblanter (talk) 11:29, 31 October 2026 (UTC)

Cathay Pacific fleet

Semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – Like many aircraft fleet articles this one attracts its fair share of unsourced additions/changes. See all the TA's related to the latest editor ~2026-58033-59 (talk · contribs). Thanks. 10mmsocket (talk) 13:14, 31 October 2026 (UTC)

Katara (Avatar: The Last Airbender)

Reason: Edit warring, attempts of vandalism, additions of unreliable and conflicting sources that have been debunked. ~2026-57970-57 (talk) 13:36, 31 October 2026 (UTC)

Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom

Reason: Disruptive editing to remove the basic genre for stop motion films, Failing AGF and using accusations at other editors in edit summaries. Halbared (talk) 13:39, 31 October 2026 (UTC)

See talk page: Talk:Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom#Stable version
This is part of a longer running conflict, where Halbared alleges a consensus and reverts every edit which removes "stop motion" from the first sentence of the lead without arguments: Talk:Wildwood (film)#"Stop motion" in lead
I am close on considering ths DND behavior. ~2026-42943-14 (talk) 18:09, 31 October 2026 (UTC)

Gillie da Kid

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – This article has constantly seen disruptive edits from IP editors, who typically change his year of birth to 1976. Several temporary protections have not stopped this. Roast (talk) 14:27, 31 October 2026 (UTC)

Litti (dish)

Reason: Disruptive edits made by multiple accounts to manipulate the content. Much of its well cited sources are removed by the multiple accounts in coordinated manner. Hence requesting to add protection of highest level possible. Adrikshit (talk) 15:17, 31 October 2026 (UTC)

Pixxel

Reason: Request for temporary semi-protection of Pixxel

I am a disclosed representative of Pixxel and have opened a conflict-of-interest edit request on Talk concerning disputed descriptions of the company's nationality and corporate structure.

The article experienced multiple edits and reversions on October 30-31, 2026, involving its lead, legal-entity characterization, headquarters and corporate-structure statements.

Examples from the history include:

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pixxel&oldid=1383006295

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pixxel&oldid=1383022851

Complete history: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pixxel&action=history The issue concerns potentially misleading or insufficiently supported claims about a real company's identity and legal structure.

I request temporary semi-protection, if administrators find that the editing pattern meets the protection criteria, to prevent further disruption while uninvolved editors assess the sourcing and establish consensus.

This is not a request to enforce the company's preferred version of the article but protection against active vandalism by parties that have something to gain by mischaracterising Pixxel as an American company despite ample public proof of it being otherwise.

John Ternus

Reason: High level of BLP violations and repetitive addition of facts from unreliable sources. May suggest pending changes protection. EvanTech10 (talk, contribs) ⚡ 16:58, 31 October 2026 (UTC)

Wifiskeleton

Reason: Page was just unprotected a few days ago and vandalism is already occurring again NRP (talk) 17:49, 31 October 2026 (UTC)

Harry Zolnierczyk

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Vandalism. Joeykai (talk) 18:48, 31 October 2026 (UTC)

List of bus routes in London

Semi-protection: Consistent vandalism by TA sock. Multiple TAs have vandalised this page over the past few months, making seemingly the same edits every time, thus making me believe that it is one person vandalising the ability of creating TAs here on Wikipedia. They are solely here to vandalise Wikipedia. ThatNorthLondoner (talk) 19:38, 31 October 2026 (UTC)

Economy of the Philippines

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism by multiple temp accounts. Annh07 (talk) 23:50, 31 October 2026 (UTC)

George Richey

Reason: 4 counts of promotional edits, each by separate temporary accounts. TobyKohlhagen (talk) 01:52, 1 November 2026 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Disruptive editing / unsourced content. • Quinn (talk) 04:31, 1 November 2026 (UTC)

Madeline (TV series)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Continued vandalism despite previous protections. See edit history for details. Blake Gripling (talk) 07:04, 1 November 2026 (UTC)

Already protected by administrator Oshwah. Malcolmxl5 (talk) 08:00, 1 November 2026 (UTC)

Bijai Garh

Reason: Move-protection or block - Article has twice been moved to a much longer name by Rushwithme (talk · contribs) and Hitmewiththat (talk · contribs), whose move summaries appear to be at best word salad and at worst LLM drek and (in Rushwithme's case) who also seems to be trying to game XC in their userspace. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v Thriller Night! 07:42, 1 November 2026 (UTC)

Template:Winter Olympics by year category navigation

Indefinite extended protection: 1118 transclusions, which is nothing to sneeze at, but I hardly believe this template requires template protection, especially when it's being used somewhere less visible (a category) Shocksingularity (talk) 02:52, 1 November 2026 (UTC)

Template:Summer Olympics by year category navigation

Temporary extended protection: 2552 transclusions is nothing to sneeze at, but I hardly think this template requires template protection, especially considering it's used in a less visible location (a category) Shocksingularity (talk) 02:53, 1 November 2026 (UTC)

2026 Iran war

The Houthis are currently listed twice, both as "Yemen (Supreme Political Council)" and as one of the constituents of the "Axis Of Resistance." Either "Yemen (Supreme Political Council)" or "Houthis" under "Axis Of Resistance" should be removed (preferably the former since the SPC has remained unrecognized internationally).

An alternative would be for "Yemen (Supreme Political Council)" under "Axis Of Resistance" and for "Houthis" to be listed under "Yemen (Supreme Political Council)." ~2026-51187-32 (talk) 01:19, 30 October 2026 (UTC)
