Requests for page protection


Current requests for increase in protection level

Request addition of protection to a page, or increasing the current protection level
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.

Reason: This article has been subject to edit warring by sockpuppets and temporary accounts since August 1. See relevant SPI page and thread on WikiProject Medicine talk page. The editors need to go talk it out on the talk page instead of reverting each other, and a bit of page protection would encourage this. Dreamyshade (talk) 23:43, 9 August 2026 (UTC)

Current requests for edits to a protected page

Request a specific edit be made to a protected page


I request the following sentence be removed from the lead's 2nd paragraph:

"and subsequently annexing the Strait of Hormuz"

This sentence was recently added but is completely unsourced, not in the body, and POV pushing. Although Iran has claimed sovereignty over the strait, there are no sources claiming that it has actually successfully annexed it during the ongoing war or even attempted officially to do so. The linked page on sovereignty in the text which is a new page created by the same user also doesn't even support this wording of annexation. Current talks between Iran and Oman are about shared administration as well, not annexation. ~2026-43592-81 (talk) 07:20, 7 August 2026 (UTC)

The current wording states:

“Present DGP (Additional Charge) of Haryana Police is Ajay Singhal since January 1, 2026.”

Please change it to:

“Present DGP of Haryana Police is Ajay Singhal since January 1, 2026.” Aman1319 (talk) 06:15, 10 August 2026 (UTC)

Change the 'Platform' parameter to be Platform(s). This is because there could be more than one Platform for a software. Wikiediter2029 (talk) Nosey? Stalk My edits 08:11, 10 August 2026 (UTC)

Requests for autopatrolled

Autopatrolled

I have created 35+ articles and intend to continue creating more. I believe my article creation history demonstrates familiarity with Wikipedia's content and sourcing policies, and so I am requesting the autopatrolled right to help reduce workload for New Pages Patrol.LivingLife1976 (talk) 11:25, 1 August 2026 (UTC) LivingLife1976 (talk) 11:25, 1 August 2026 (UTC)

(Non-administrator comment) @LivingLife1976 Kismet Ke Here Phere created in mainspace on 20 July, tagged for additional citations the following day, orphan-tagged on 30 July (not a big deal), and moved by you to draftspace on 1 August "for further improvement", less than four hours before this request was filed. I believe this indicates that at least one very recent creation benefited from the scrutiny this permission would have bypassed.
But then, on 16 February Diannaa removed 1,113 bytes from Draft:Rawal Jagmal, identifying the removed material as copied from a published gazetteer. I would not treat this incident alone as decisive, especially given your subsequent works, but copyright familiarity is directly relevant as an autopatrolled user. So, I'd recommend waiting for a longer clean record of fully prepared mainspace creations, after all, that is what this bit is about; it doesn't make you capable of anything special on-wiki. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 14:10, 4 August 2026 (UTC)

Hi! I'm here to request permanent autopatrolled rights. I was previously granted a 2-month temporary autopatrolled right back in June, but the period will end on August 11th. In total, I've created over 130 articles for Wikipedia with a focus on biographies of underrepresented individuals, including 10 DYKs, and have brought two articles to GA status. I've also been quite active in the Articles for Deletion procedure and in GA reviewing. I've grown quite familiar with the process of article creation on Wikipedia, and plan to continue creating more articles, so I'd love to get permanent autopatrolled rights. Thank you! Jishara (please ping upon response) (talk) 20:40, 4 August 2026 (UTC)

I am an experienced Wikipedian, former admin (107/1/1). Desysoped in 2023 due to inactivity. I originally received autopatrolled priviliges in 2009, although these seem to have been revoked during the desysoping. According to my tally, I have about 50 thousand edits, have created about two and a half thousand articles, have significantly contributed to 207 DYKs, 187 GAs, 19 FLs, 4 GT and 2 FT, and have conducted 309 GA reviews. I regularly create new articles, so hope that status as 'autopatrolled' can help offload the patrols. Arsenikk (talk) 18:03, 5 August 2026 (UTC)

Requests for AutoWikiBrowser access

AutoWikiBrowser

Would like to use when I get my computer back, will use to do edits that if done manually would be tedious. Beta Beta Beta - talk 22:06, 6 July 2026 (UTC)

Beta Beta Beta, can you give us any more specific examples? In solidarity, asilvering (talk) 22:19, 16 July 2026 (UTC)
To provide one example, simple copy editing would be far easier with AWB than having to look through the page for the possibility of a slip-up. Beta Beta Beta - talk 22:39, 16 July 2026 (UTC)

I would like to create navigation templates for groups of related articles that currently lack them and use AWB to add those templates where appropriate. I have not created navigation templates before, but I am familiar with Wikipedia’s policies and would take care to review my work and ensure edits are appropriate. I understand if more experience with this type of maintenance work is needed before being granted the permission. If granted, I would use AWB carefully and review each edit before saving. Mascius (talk) 19:49, 30 July 2026 (UTC)

Hi there, I would like to use AWB to help speed up edits replacing the deprecated |alma_mater= parameter from some infoboxes. Here are some examples of the type of edit I have made manualy, [7][8][9][10], and here is an example of another user who has used AWB to make these types of edits [11] HaphazardBinBag (talk) 21:26, 30 July 2026 (UTC)

I already have some experience with making changes using semi-automatic tools (and even my automatic bot) I build myself with PyWikiBot, but it would be a lot easier if I didn't have to write an entire program each time I want to make new edits.

I would use AWB to help me add add navboxes I create to various pages in a category, fix duplicated and deprecated parameters in templates, and test AWB scripts that I may submit BRFAs for as FlammableBot tasks in the future. FlammablePizza (talk) 23:32, 2 August 2026 (UTC)

Hello! I recently saw this tool pop while looking at my watchlist and I decided I kind of need this. I make articles and heavily expand articles during my pasttime, and sometimes wrong grammar slips by whenever I make/edit these articles. One of the hardest ones to spot are the typos and double letters. I would mostly use the AWB just so I could check the grammar on the articles I've edited and some others as well. This is just so that not another editor has to fix a typo I made for some time ago. If you would like some more information, I would happily oblige. (Here are my edits statistics btw) DoNothingEveryday (talk) 09:08, 5 August 2026 (UTC)

Reason for requesting autowikibrowser rights I want to Mainly use the pywikibot to create lists. and only very rarely maybe create articles. Wikiguythatlikesbiology (talk) 20:51, 5 August 2026 (UTC)

i said pywikibot instead of autowikibrowser i meant to say autowikibrowser, lol Wikiguythatlikesbiology (talk) 21:03, 5 August 2026 (UTC)

I request the use of AWB to perform the following tasks:

  • Add archive-url, archive-date, and url-status to references with dead or substantially changed/deviated URLs, using an appropriate web archive where available.
  • Find duplicate references and consolidate them by replacing repeated full citations with named references (<ref name="..."/>. Miria~01 (talk) 23:02, 9 August 2026 (UTC)

Requests for new page reviewer

New page reviewer

Hi! I'd like to request the New Page Reviewer user right to help reduce the backlog. I have experience with page creations, having created or converted from redirect 122 pages. I've also promoted two articles to WP:GAs, and am frequently active in DYK, in AfD and in GANRs. Jishara (talk) 12:23, 29 July 2026 (UTC)

I can confirm @Jishara is an excellent participant at AfD. Having recently returned after a two month break, I've found their comments to be beneficial in helping establish my own thoughts on nominated articles. They are already autopatrolled, and have authored over a hundred BLPs. (Huge respect to the redirect expansions I'll add!) I think they're more than set for patrolling. You have my support, @Jishara! (Non-administrator comment) 11WB 💬 00:09, 3 August 2026 (UTC)
Just noting that I, and likely other admins, are holding off on evaluating this request because of the significant amount of recent AFDs that Jishara has participated in but which have not yet been closed. This is not in any way a mark against Jishara, but with about 20% of their AFD participations pending closure, attempting to assess their track record right now would either entail premature exclusion of recent participation, or a lot of duplicated work in assessing their participation in those recent discussions. signed, Rosguill talk 19:35, 3 August 2026 (UTC)
Hi! Thanks for letting me know, Rosguill! Would it help if I paused participating in AFDs right now until the current ones have closed and you have the opportunity to assess? Jishara (please ping upon response) (talk) 23:42, 4 August 2026 (UTC)
Jishara, I don't think that's necessary, unless you sharply increase your daily participation to an even greater rate (which depending on how crowded AFD is on a given day, may not even be physically possible on some days), as the last week-and-spare-change of recent and open discussions will make up a less and less significant fraction of your overall record. signed, Rosguill talk 23:51, 4 August 2026 (UTC)
Alright, makes sense! I'm very much looking forward to hopefully getting New Page Reviewer - I appreciate your time and consideration! Jishara (please ping upon response) (talk) 23:55, 4 August 2026 (UTC)

I previously held the temporary New Page Reviewer permissions for one month, which has now expired. During this time, I used the Page Curation tool to review articles and drafts according to Wikipedia's policies. Since my temporary right has expired, I would like to request full restoration of my permission,so that I may continue to help the community with the backlog.

TheGreatEditor024, do you have any comment regarding Sohom's review of your last request roughly a month ago? signed, Rosguill talk 19:36, 3 August 2026 (UTC)
Thank you for showing me that request. I searched a lot for it but couldn't find it.
@Sohom Datta: Regarding the ColanXP issue, It was an accidental misjudgment on my part due to a complete misunderstanding of the tool at the time. I mistakenly thought clicking the checkmark button simply meant "I have looked at this page and added cleanup tags," rather than fully approving it for the mainspace and removing it from the NPP feed. User:DoubleGrazing kindly corrected my error right after it happened. After the issue, I started spending time to understand and learn WP:NPP, WP:GNG, and other policies to make sure that these issue won't arise again.
Now, I fully understand that NPR is an important job and I know that articles must strictly meet WP:GNG and WP:V to remain in the mainspace, and that subjects without reliable, independent secondary sources belongs in draftspace. I want to help with the backlog and I promise to exercise extreme caution from now on. If a full restoration is not possible, I would be really grateful if you could provide a short extension, so that I can prove that I have corrected my issues and knows how to use the tools responsibly. TheGreatEditor024 (talk) 17:30, 4 August 2026 (UTC)

Other details: I am active on commons and Wikipedia and used AfD and AfC for good purpose. Abdullah1099 (talk) 12:33, 6 August 2026 (UTC)
 Not done; your last two requests, in April and May of this year, were both declined due to a low AFD match rate (in addition to other concerns). Since then, your match rate appears to have gotten worse, with none of the discussions since May going your way. Match rate isn't everything, so I looked through your arguments as well, and frankly they're even more concerning than the match rate: at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of extrasolar candidates for liquid water and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tau Ceti e (2nd nomination), the two most recent discussions to be closed, you present arguments that have zero grounding in Wikipedia guidelines or policy. I would not recommend reapplying for this permission until you have demonstrably turned a new leaf at AFD, over the process of at minimum several months. signed, Rosguill talk 17:44, 6 August 2026 (UTC)
Ok, But what i can really do where there is limited AfD where i can suggest anything. Also, I was talking about a middle ground option between delete and save on both the discussion. Yeah, It might be not making sense in term of Wikipedia guidelines Abdullah1099 (talk) 03:09, 8 August 2026 (UTC)

Requests for page mover

Page mover

I'm shooting my shot because I've had multiple occasions, including one within just the last few hours, when I had to wait for an administrator to delete a redirect so I could move a draft I'd been working on to mainspace. I'd like to cut out the middle human and be able to delete redirects by simply moving over them – certainly it would be one less addition to the admin workload. I admittedly don't have a ton of experience with requested moves, so I'll understand if this request is declined on those grounds. If this request is granted, then I promise I'll be careful with the new tools. Dylan620 (he/they/she • talkedits) 01:26, 9 August 2026 (UTC)
Requests for pending changes reviewer

Pending changes reviewer

I am requesting the pending changes reviewer permission to assist with maintaining the quality of articles on English Wikipedia. My contributions have primarily focused on expanding and improving articles by adding reliable, independent sources, improving references, and organizing content in accordance with Wikipedia's content policies. 0ximjub43r (talk) 22:12, 27 July 2026 (UTC)

I am familiar with Wikipedia and its guidelines; occasionally come across pending changes I'd like to review. MSWS (talk) 03:18, 30 July 2026 (UTC)

Reason for requesting pending changes reviewer rights I would like to be able to review edits that are on pending changes pages, as well as unprotected pages. I have 900 edits now, which a good number of them are anti-vandal edits. I also feel that I have a good knowledge on Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and I feel I could use that knowledge on pending changes pages as well as unprotected pages. MathMan4 (talk) 06:03, 30 July 2026 (UTC)

I would like to review pending changes encountered during recent edits patrol. I am familiar with Wikipedia's content policies. Mascius (talk) 18:28, 30 July 2026 (UTC)

In my recent changes patrols, I semi-frequently come across pending changes. If the changes are vandalism, I revert them, but I would also like the ability to accept good pending changes while I'm at it. I already have rollback, extended confirmed, and over 1.6k edits. I also have read and am familiar with the relevant policies. FlammablePizza (talk) 21:20, 31 July 2026 (UTC)

I would like to have pending changes reviewer rights, because I occasionally come across pending changes that I am interested in accepting/not accepting on the recent changes page. I have experience with the necessary policies from actions like patrolling recent changes, writing articles that go through the AfC process to get accepted, and DyK and GA participation. Bungle491 (talk) 19:54, 2 August 2026 (UTC)
Requests for rollback

Rollback

I would like to request Rollback rights. My last request was on 18 May. According to previous advice, I have tried to follow a clear workflow, including issuing warnings and reporting Vandalism, Block evasion, and Disruptive editing at AIV, RFPP, and AN/EW. In addition, I use Twinkle for warnings, reports, and reverts. AriuCH (talk) 18:27, 2 July 2026 (UTC)

Automated comment This user has had 2 requests for rollback declined or withdrawn in the past 90 days ([14][15]). MusikBot talk 18:30, 2 July 2026 (UTC)
 Done. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 19:55, 9 August 2026 (UTC)

I've recently been using SWViewer and Twinkle to revert vandalism, so this permission would be very useful for me. I'm already very familiar with how it works, as I already have this permission on other Wikimedia projects. -- 🐦‍🔥 Aws 💬 Talk 14:23, 12 July 2026 (UTC)

I would like to request Rollback permissions firstly in order to make use of tools like Huggle & AntiVandal. Secondly rollback permissions will allow me to increase the speed of my workflow as most of it consists of RC patrolling edits by unregistered & new accounts. My contribution history demonstrates that I have multiple months of RC Patrol experience and no history of edit warring. At the time of writing this I have 656 live edits of which 220 are in the Main namespace and 262 are in the User Talk namespace, this shows my track record of consistently notifying editors when reverting their edits. Vydrakk (talk) 10:03, 15 July 2026 (UTC)

I would like to request my Rollback rights. My previous request on June 15 was declined because I was blocked for making disruptive edits. Since I'm autoconfirmed, I use Twinkle to revert the edits which was vandalized by the IPs (or later TAs). Thomasfan1916[built buses?] 20:15, 23 July 2026 (UTC)

I am requesting permanent rollback rights after a 1 month trial in the past, as well as my recent 3 month trial. Over the course of the past few months, I have served as a CVUA instructor, and have continued using antivandalism tools like Wikishield and CVPI to prevent vandalism from infecting the wiki. Norellia.sh(talk) 08:29, 26 July 2026 (UTC)

Automated comment This user was granted temporary rollback rights by HJ Mitchell (expires 00:00, 31 July 2026 (UTC)). MusikBot talk 08:30, 26 July 2026 (UTC)

I would like to request rollback rights. I check the recent changes page a couple times a day and I use Twinkle currently to revert vandalism. I have over 200 mainspace edits as well as extended-confirmed permissions. I always use warning templates after reverting edits and make reports to AIV when necessary. Rollback would help me look through recent changes much more effectively with tools such as Interceptor or WikiShield. If not permanent, a month-long trial run of rollback would also work, so that I could reapply eventually. Bungle491 (talk) 06:27, 28 July 2026 (UTC)

I have antivandalism experience and I am requesting rollback permissions to be better equipped to fight vandals. My track record shows that I'm good at differentiating between vandalism and good faith edits, and responding accordingly. - Otherwise (Talk?) 02:50, 29 July 2026 (UTC)

Reason for requesting rollback rights I have 900 edits now, which a lot of them are reverting vandalism and ensuring pages follow Wikipedia's quality guidelines. I feel that being able to rollback pages/edits will help me ensure that Wikipedia's quality standards are being met, especially when a user has made multiple poor-quality edits. MathMan4 (talk) 05:57, 30 July 2026 (UTC)

Having rollback rights would also allow me to use AntiVandal, which would be useful for reverting vandalism. MathMan4 (talk) 06:49, 5 August 2026 (UTC)

Reason for requesting rollback rights, I mainly edit reality shows and there are constantly fan edits. I have to revert in most cases to stable one but it unfortunately also includes some good edits. Overall, extra hard work. Rollback will definitely help me. :) Tenshi Uisu (talk) 16:05, 30 July 2026 (UTC)

Been on wp for almost a year now with 5000 edits, already use Twinkle on a regular basis and would be useful when I'm reviewing pages. Fortek67 (talk) 12:13, 31 July 2026 (UTC)

I would like to request rollback rights as it will help me fight vandalism. I currently use Twinkle and I would like to use tools such as CVPI to revert vandalism quicker. Alpha Beta Delta Lambda (talk) 22:00, 2 August 2026 (UTC)

Articles are often subjected to persistent vandalism by unregistered IP users or even newly registered users. Such edits are frequently spotted while patrolling recent changes. Reverting these edits using the Twinkle gadget is quite cumbersome. I know when to use rollback. Mathew D'Marco (talk) 17:33, 4 August 2026 (UTC)

I am requesting the rollback permission to help efficiently revert blatant vandalism and construct history fixes. I understand that rollback is only for clear vandalism and not for content disputes. Elison Pokhrel TALK 14:52, 6 August 2026 (UTC)

Automated comment This user has had 1 request for rollback declined or withdrawn in the past 90 days ([16]). MusikBot talk 15:00, 6 August 2026 (UTC)

I have done a lot of anti-vandalism work in recent weeks but have been frustrated by my inability to be able to restore a previous version due to conflicting errors after vandalism.

I consistently notify users and reply to their messages, and try to assist them and tell them what they have done wrong.

I understand the uses of this tool and how it is not for content disputes, and I would use this tool responsibly.

I have taken feedback from my last request, and I believe I am now in a place to apply.

Thanks for your consideration. Equivalent-Text2598 (talk) 22:39, 8 August 2026 (UTC)

Requests for template editor

Template editor

I recently possessed the template editor right, but it expired on July 1. I would like to request permanent template editor rights. I have met all the criteria for granting. I also am willing to prove I can be responsible again with possessing the template editor right permanently. CharlesEditor23 (talk) 05:13, 24 July 2026 (UTC)

Could you point to a few examples of where you have used the right on high-risk templates in the past few months? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 08:35, 24 July 2026 (UTC)
Yes. I have used the template editor right on Module:Gridiron color/data & Module:College color/data, which are both high-risk templates. Here's the edit diff from May 22, 2026 from when I previously had the WP:TPE right and used it to change the HTML hex color codes for the Canadian Football League (CFL)'s Hamilton Tiger-Cats. Here's the edit diff from April 29, 2026 from when I previously had the template editor right and used it to change the historical HTML color codes for the National Football League (NFL)'s Dallas Cowboys. Here's the edit diff from March 29, 2026 from when I previously had the template editor right and used it to change the URL source reference for the California Golden Bears. CharlesEditor23 (talk) 03:40, 26 July 2026 (UTC)
Are the examples I've provided sufficient enough? The main reason why I'm requesting WP:TPE right is so I may be able to make changes to high risk templates such as Module:Gridiron color/data & Module:College color/data. I'm happy to answer any & all other questions. CharlesEditor23 (talk) 16:47, 28 July 2026 (UTC)
I will note I haven't had a chance to look at them yet; please be patient. Primefac (talk) 21:53, 28 July 2026 (UTC)
I will note I am somewhat concerned about a lack of forethought and/or sandboxing, specifically:
That being said, there does appear to be a reasonable amount of sandboxing for some of these changes (e.g. Special:Diff/1348021134), and I am very appreciative of the descriptive edit summaries (With a courtesy ping to WikiOriginal-9 who edits the same modules without any summaries). As I think I've said before, no one is perfect (my talk page is a perfect example of that), and (so far) no one seems to have noticed or cared about the occasionally-rapid-reverts of changes. I'd like to wait to hear what MSGJ thinks about this since they asked the initial follow-up question, but I think at the moment I am tentatively an accept. Primefac (talk) 13:20, 2 August 2026 (UTC)

Hello! My bot CutlassBot is applying the {{Deprecated archive}} template (recently protected). I’d like template editor permission while the bot is doing its run to apply the template so that I can handle any issues that come up for example, I have one change request pending at Module talk:Deprecated archive. I don’t intend to change any other high risk templates during this run. This is my first template so I don’t meet the guideline criteria. Alternatively, maybe we remove the protection from the module, but I think it’s lower risk to grant me the editor privileges for 3 months. Thanks for considering! Dw31415 (talk) 07:27, 3 August 2026 (UTC)

Automated comment This user has 41 edits in the template and module namespaces. MusikBot talk 07:30, 3 August 2026 (UTC)
If pppery is okay with it I'll just drop the protection for a bit; you're the creator and so I assume that you'll keep a good eye on it. Primefac (talk) 22:15, 5 August 2026 (UTC)
I was doing a periodic batch check of all templates with at least 5000 transclusions, and don't have much stake in this specific template. I wish we applied more categorical rules and had less of a culture of exceptions when applying protections based on transclusion count, but for better or worse we do have a culture of exceptions so there's no harm in adding one more (in other words, lowering the protection is fine with me). * Pppery * in solidarity 01:12, 6 August 2026 (UTC)
Done, cheers. If you feel like having that discussion at some point, I think that would be a really productive brainstorm (even if it's just a casual thing on my talk page), as it's an interesting idea. Primefac (talk) 09:11, 6 August 2026 (UTC)
Dw31415, is the above satisfactory? Primefac (talk) 09:11, 6 August 2026 (UTC)
I think the requester needs Module:Deprecated archive unprotected. The template page should probably be TE-protected, since it just calls the module and there is no reason to change it. I have implemented an edit request for the module, but the requester, who created the module, will probably need to debug it (carefully, since it is transcluded in 20K pages now). – Jonesey95 (talk) 12:37, 6 August 2026 (UTC)
Oh, right, duh. Primefac (talk) 21:23, 6 August 2026 (UTC)
Requests for temporary account IP viewer

Temporary account IP viewer

Requesting temp account IP viewer for anti-vandalism work. I have read all guidelines and will not share IPs publicly. I have experience dealing with vandalism and other disruption. Tumbuka Arch (talk) 17:54, 7 August 2026 (UTC)

 Done. -- zzuuzz (talk) 22:31, 7 August 2026 (UTC)

I am pretty experienced with SPIs, something that has been acknowledged by fellow editors before, and I believe TAIV could be a helpfull tool for the future. I have been informed about the rights and responsibilities that come with it. Piccco (talk) 21:22, 7 August 2026 (UTC)

 Done. -- zzuuzz (talk) 22:31, 7 August 2026 (UTC)

Requesting for anti-vandalism work and occasional SPI work when I spot suspicious activity in recent changes. I have carefully read the WP:TAIV policy closely and fully understand when to use the tool granted by this permission. The person who loves reading (talk) 01:06, 8 August 2026 (UTC)

 Done. -- zzuuzz (talk) 23:04, 8 August 2026 (UTC)

I'm requesting the TAIV account permission in order to better patrol recent changes for my counter-vandalism work and for making more informational reports to admin noticeboards and/or SPI. I've read the policy guidelines on this permission both here and on the Foundation website and agree to use this right in accordance with said policies. Sigma440 (talk) 23:10, 8 August 2026 (UTC)
