"WP:RFP" and "WP:RPP" redirect here. You may also be looking for Wikipedia:Requests for permissions, Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission, or Wikipedia:Random page patrol.
    Welcome—request protection of a page, file, or template here.
    Shortcuts

    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 get rid of obvious vandalism.

    Request protection of a page, or increasing the protection level
    Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level
    Request a specific edit to a protected page
    Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here
    this header: view • edit



    Current requests for increase in protection level

    Place requests for new or upgrading pending changes, semi-protection, full protection, move protection, create protection, template editor protection, or upload protection at the BOTTOM of this section. Check the archive of fulfilled and denied requests or, failing that, the page history if you cannot find your request. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.

    Current requests for reduction in protection level

    Shortcuts

    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.

    The Return of Jafar

    Unprotected: Semi-protected about 10 years ago by User:PMDrive1061 who hasn't been active since 2014 for Persistent vandalism – I think edits by IPs should be ok. I just wanted to change "Aladdin 2..." as the alternate name to "Aladdin and the Return of Jafar" per IMDB or "Aladdin: The Return of Jafar" per Disney's official list as Aladdin 2 is currently being used to refer to the potential live-action sequel to the 2019 Aladdin. And after 10 years I would hope the persistent vandal has moved on - lol - so protection not really needed anymore - and this is not a controversial topic or page. 65.127.183.235 (talk) 13:43, 21 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    Current requests for edits to a protected page

    Further information: Wikipedia:Edit requests
    Shortcut

    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.

    Fortune Global 500

    Hello everyone. I kindly ask you if it is possible to make a specific section of the "Fortune Global 500" page non-editable and specifically "Breakdown by country/territory". I kindly ask you to read the talk page of the page. In the last month there have been continuous attempts at editing CONTRARY to the fundamental principles of Wikipedia.

    Specifically, the SOURCE cited "Global 500". Fortunes. Retrieved October 23, 2023" EXPLICITLY indicates that, for 2023, the United States is first with 136 companies and China is second with 135 companies.

    Some editors continue to change the figure to indicate that China has 142 companies. In fact, they add 7 Taiwanese companies to the 135 companies in China.

    However, this is contrary to what is reported in the SOURCE and allows a POLITICALLY MOTIVATED SUBJECTIVE POINT OF VIEW to prevail.

    Taiwan is considered a territory and therefore its companies should not be added to those of China.

    I therefore ask you to leave the data for 136 companies for the United States and 135 for China unchanged and ineditable.

    This request is driven only by technical considerations, relating to RESPECT for the principles of Wikipedia and not political ones. In fact, Taiwan is not a de jure country.

    Thank you. Chrisques5 (talk) 23:17, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    @Chrisques5: Protection is page-level and cannot be done for specific sections. Even if this were possible, you requested this on the page for requesting edits for the page. You want to request protection at WP:RFPP/I. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 23:20, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
