Current requests for reduction in protection level edit
Before posting, first discuss with the protecting admin at their talk page. Post below only if you receive no reply.
- To find out the username of the admin who protected the page click on "history" at the top of the page, then click on "View logs for this page" which is under the title of the page. The protecting admin is the username in blue before the words "protected", "changed protection level" or "pending changes". If there are a number of entries on the log page, you might find it easier to select "Protection log" or "Pending changes log" from the dropdown menu in the blue box.
- Requests to downgrade full protection to template protection on templates and modules can be directed straight here; you do not need to ask the protecting admin first.
- Requests for removing create protection on redlinked articles are generally assisted by having a draft version of the intended article prepared beforehand.
- If you want to make spelling corrections or add uncontroversial information to a protected page please add {{Edit fully-protected}} to the article's talk page, along with an explanation of what you want to add to the page. If the talk page is protected please use the section below.
Check the archives if you cannot find your request. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.
Shays' Rebellion edit
Reason: Page has been move protected for almost two decades; had move vandalism in the early days of the encyclopedia, but no reason to believe that such vandalism is still an issue. BilledMammal (talk) 02:31, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
- Automated comment: This user who requested protection has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 05:23, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
- Done, sort of. I changed it from Sysop-only to EC move protected for 1 year, mainly because you just had a successful RM and didn't want to see some random new user go and undo a valid discussion, repeating history. After 1 year, the move protection will automatically expire. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 08:06, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
Alien edit
Reason: Extended confirmed protection is no longer necessary, because it doesn't seem like there has been much disruptive editing. Lower it to Semi-protected 70.50.199.125 (talk) 03:16, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
- Surely you jest? The page isn't protected! (Last protection fell off Oct. 2020.) —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 03:27, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
- I'm guessing he means Alien, which Fish and karate protected to EC some time back. And I would say the reason there hasn't been disruptive editing is BECAUSE of the protection. That said, semi-protection would probably be adequate, rather than EC. Because F&K isn't very active right now, I will leave open for another opinion, but I think semi is fine.

Current requests for edits to a protected page edit
Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here
Ideally, requests should be made on the article talk page rather than here.
- Unless the talk page itself is protected, you may instead add the appropriate template among
{{Edit protected}}
,{{Edit template-protected}}
,{{Edit extended-protected}}
, or{{Edit semi-protected}}
to the article's talk page if you would like to make a change rather than requesting it here. Doing so will automatically place the page in the appropriate category for the request to be reviewed. - Where requests are made due to the editor having a conflict of interest (COI; see Wikipedia:Suggestions for COI compliance), the
{{Edit COI}}
template should be used. - Requests to move move-protected pages should be made at Wikipedia:Requested moves, not here.
- If the discussion page and the article are both protected preventing you from making an edit request, this page is the right place to make that request. Please see the top of this page for instructions on how to post requests.
- This page is not for continuing or starting discussions regarding content should both an article and its discussion page be protected. Please make a request only if you have a specific edit you wish to make.
Talk:Israel-Hamas war edit
I would like to request the addition of a talk page on the Israel-Hamas war article that points out that the map on said article doesn’t show the Israeli evacuation order from Rafah and should be updated. LordOfWalruses (talk) 21:45, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
