 | This page has an administrative backlog that requires the attention of willing administrators. Please replace this notice with {{no admin backlog}} when the backlog is cleared. |
| 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
Please add an edit request to the talk page of the protected page before adding an edit request here | ||
Current requests for increase in protection level
[edit]Place requests for protection increases at the BOTTOM of this section. If you cannot find your request, check the archive of requests or the page history. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.

Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – the article has been targeted by sockpuppets, and this is now my second time requesting since they've targeted the article; please protect for minimum three weeks (until just after the season finishes). 4TheWynne (talk • contribs) 14:43, 13 November 2025 (UTC)
- Automated comment: A request for protection/unprotection for one or more pages in this request was recently made, and was denied at some point within the last 8 days.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 14:56, 13 November 2025 (UTC)
Reason: Continued removal of template by temporary account, likely related to earlier editing by IP account and potential COI account. -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested «@» °∆t° 15:53, 13 November 2025 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. — Czello (music) 16:22, 13 November 2025 (UTC)
Reason: Temporary Semi-protection. Unregistered user keeps changing players club team to his former club (because of his outdated Transfrmarkt profile) also adding national team, which per WP:Football convention, we wait to add, until he actually plays a match - it is mentioned he got a call-up in the prose. Source which supports all of the above. RedPatch (talk) 17:06, 13 November 2025 (UTC)

Reason: This page has been repeatedly vandalized, primarily due to biased fan edits. MickJay1098 (talk) 02:19, 14 November 2025 (UTC)
Indefinitely extended confirmed protection: Persistent vandalism – Right now it was temporary protected by Pppery so please change it to Indefinitely Extended Confirmed Protection targeted by block evasion. ~2025-33054-00 (talk) 02:21, 14 November 2025 (UTC)
Declined – No changes to the current protection level are required at this point in time. No evidence ECP is required. (Note the block evasion referred to is by Rgalo10). The Bushranger One ping only 05:26, 14 November 2025 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – There are continuous billing changes, putting Sivakarthikeyan (the lead actor) below Ravi Mohan (who seemingly plays the antagonist) and vice versa. Kailash29792 (talk) 02:56, 14 November 2025 (UTC)
Temporary extended confirmed protection: Persistent disruptive editing – We have two editors with constant back and forth editing here... non-stop. One has been warned for edit warring. Could we get a 3-day moratorium on editing here? The season is over so nothing added is vital, and it's getting ridiculous. That may help the situation. Fyunck(click) (talk) 03:13, 14 November 2025 (UTC)
Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Filmssssssssssss (talk) 03:16, 14 November 2025 (UTC)
- Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. RunningOnBrains(talk) 06:09, 14 November 2025 (UTC)
Reason: Incessant changes to the subjects date of birth in a sensitive time where the subject’s age is in question . EmmChuKC (talk) 03:22, 14 November 2025 (UTC)
Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Protecting temporarily doesn't work, they just wait and come back. Sumanuil. (talk to me) 04:55, 14 November 2025 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Disruptive TA-edits. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 09:42, 14 November 2025 (UTC)
Semi-protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. I wouldn't wonder if that ends up at ECR protection one of these days...Lectonar (talk) 09:59, 14 November 2025 (UTC)
Current requests for reduction in protection level
[edit]Before posting a request for unprotection, please discuss it with the protecting administrator first. You can create a request below only if you receive no response from them.
To find out which administrator protected the page, go to the page's edit history and click on the "View logs for this page" link (located underneath the page's title). The protecting administrator is listed in the protection log entry, next to the words "protected", "changed protection level", or "configured pending changes". If there are a large number of log entries on the page, use the drop-down menu near the top of the page and select "Protection log" or "Pending changes log" to filter the logs accordingly.
DO NOT request a reduction in protection if...
- ...you are being prevented from editing the page. A desire to change content is not a valid reason for unprotection. Instead:
- If you can edit the article's talk page, use the WP:Edit Request Wizard to propose a change on the article's talk page. Include an explanation of the exact content that you want to change, and what the content will be afterward.
- If the article's talk page is protected, you may propose a change at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection/Edit.
- ...your reasoning for reducing protection is that the article has not been vandalized. That simply means the protection is working as intended.
- ...your reasoning for reducing protection is basically "a long time has passed" without supporting details.
- ...you haven't contacted the protecting administrator.
You may request a protection reduction below if...
- ...you want to change the protection level of a template or module from full protection to template protection. You may add the request to this page without having to discuss it with the protecting administrator first.
- ...you need to remove creation protection from a location where no page exists (redlinked pages) after a draft version of the intended article is prepared beforehand and ready to be published.
- ...you are proposing a trial reduction in protection for a page that has been protected for several years, provided the proposal is supported by evidence such as talk page activity, page views, page traffic, number of watchers, frequency of edit requests, and prior history of vandalism.
- ...the protecting administrator is inactive or has not responded to you in several days.
If you cannot locate your request, make sure to check the request archives to see if it's been moved there. Only requests that have been recently answered will still be listed here.
Reason: Removal of pending changes protection: The article is now under indefinite extended confirmed protection, so pending changes protection is redundant. BriDash9000 (talk) 08:40, 14 November 2025 (UTC)
Unprotected Removed pending-changes protection. Lectonar (talk) 09:57, 14 November 2025 (UTC)
Current requests for edits to a protected page
[edit]Please add an edit request to the talk page of the protected page before adding an edit request here
Requests for specific edits should be made on the talk page of the protected article. You can create an edit request below only if the talk page is also protected, preventing you from adding a request there.
- You may add the appropriate template (
{{Edit protected}},{{Edit template-protected}},{{Edit extended-protected}}, or{{Edit semi-protected}}) to the article's talk page if you would like to request an edit be made. Doing so will automatically place the page in the appropriate category for the request to be reviewed. - For edit requests being made due to the editor having a conflict of interest with the article subject (see Wikipedia:Suggestions for COI compliance), the
{{Edit COI}}template should be used instead of the others listed above. - Requests to move pages that are currently move-protected should be made at Wikipedia:Requested moves, not on this page.
- This page is not for holding discussions regarding content. Please make a request only if you have a specific edit that you wish to be performed.
Otherwise, this is the correct place to use in order to add an edit request if you are unable to add one to the article's talk page. Please see the top of this page for instructions on how to properly add a request.
