    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.

    ARBPIA is not the main topic of the article, and I do not see any disruptive editing by non-ec accounts. The article is already semi-protected. I would decline. Ymblanter (talk) 21:34, 9 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protection: BLP policy violations – Violations of MOS:GENDERID. Taffer😊💬(she/they) 16:08, 9 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    +1. Speculate that its coordinated, lots of different IPs making changes along similar themes. Driftingdrifting (talk) 20:31, 9 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @Driftingdrifting I'm not familiar with the subject, but I wonder if they recently performed a show or appeared in a web series or something, maybe they were mentioned by Libs of Tiktok or the like. Those sorts of things tend to dredge up vandals to trans BLPs Taffer😊💬(she/they) 21:39, 9 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Resident Evil Requiem

    Reason: An edit war with many participants who, ignoring the topical discussion on the article's discussion page, regularly rewrite the preamble, including removing the source request for a phrase they regularly return to the text. The article has already reached compromises several times in the hope of moving the dispute into discussion, but each time new participants have re-established the conflict again.

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – BLP vandalism. Laura240406 (talk) 18:55, 9 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protected for a period of 1 year, after which the page will be automatically unprotected., let us try this first. Ymblanter (talk) 21:31, 9 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Nalanda mahavihara

    Reason: IP has been trying to add information to the article that doesn’t fit the scope of the article and is also unreliable. Another IP noticed this and removed it however the IP seems to be starting an edit war. The article needs protection so that it can remain stable. Please see diffs:

    Orz

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Disruptive edits similar to those that preceded previous page protection in March - repeated addition of non-notable entry. Seems to have some off-wiki coordination in March on this forum. Bridget (talk) 23:40, 9 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    If you actually read the posts in the forum there is no coordination going on. Many people in the Art of Problem Solving community know what Orz means, though. 49.255.152.125 (talk) 23:47, 9 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Current requests for reduction in protection level

    Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level
    Shortcuts

    Before posting, first discuss with the protecting admin on 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.

    Current requests for edits to a protected page

    Request a specific edit to a protected page
    Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here
    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.
