Current requests for reduction in protection level

[edit]
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

[edit]
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.

Gaza war

[edit]

The textbox, in [f]. change "US intelligence estimate: 10,000–15,000 militants (as of January 2025)" to "US intelligence estimate: Hamas reduced to 9,000–12,000 militants (as of June 2024)"

reason: The current claim relies on an article by The Print that says " The Palestinian militant group Hamas has recruited between 10,000 and 15,000 members since the start of its war with Israel" (emphasis on recruited, not killed) The Reuters article https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/diminished-hamas-switches-full-insurgent-mode-gaza-2024-06-06/ claims "The enclave's ruling group has been reduced to between 9,000 and 12,000 fighters, according to three senior U.S. officials familiar with battlefield developments, down from American estimates of 20,000-25,000 before the conflict. By contrast, Israel says it has lost almost 300 troops in the Gaza campaign" Therefore, it will be best to either subtract the two ranges (which was rejected before) or claim that Hamas has been reduced to 9000-12000 members, as written in the article. It is also possible to write "US intelligence estimate: Hamas reduced from 20,000-25,000 to 9,000–12,000 militants (as of June 2024)" just as written in the article, but that might be too long Stone fridge (talk) 21:06, 26 April 2025 (UTC)

[edit]

New page reviewer who has made over 90 articles including 1 good article and quite familiar with content guidelines, I may also as well not clutter the backlog for other reviewers. CherryPie94 🍒🥧 (talk) 06:06, 7 April 2025 (UTC)

One thing that immediately jumped out at me is some biographical articles created (e.g. Kim Na and Son Se-bin) have unsourced biographical information, such as the date of birth. This information should be sourced to ensure compliance with WP:DOB. - Aoidh (talk) 03:07, 12 April 2025 (UTC)
I've considered adding references directly next to DOB, which I did at my two most recent BLPs: Mike Kim and Lee Joon-ho. If birth information is not 100% verifiable, I play it safe (eg. Lee Seung-yoon). Per WP:DOB, links to websites maintained by the subject are generally permitted so I included Kim Na's personal website which states birth year as 1986 in the external links section. I created Son Se-bin over 5 years ago when I was much less experienced, so I don't quite recall which exact source I used for DOB (birth year seems to have been present in Star Today), so I've just amended that. CherryPie94 🍒🥧 (talk) 04:22, 12 April 2025 (UTC)
Ah I've misinterpreted that personal website policy, though it does fall under WP:ABOUTSELF, I've now also directly sourced it. CherryPie94 🍒🥧 (talk) 04:39, 12 April 2025 (UTC)

[edit]

I am autopatrolled and an NPP reviewer; I would actually like to nominate User:Kjansen86 to be autopatrolled. I just reviewed and cheerfully accepted almost a dozen perfectly-formulated articles on Zoroastrian texts, and they have made more than 25 overall. Looking at their talk page, this appears to be an experienced and effective editor. Checking their AfD stats, I find one (successful) AfD that they initiated, indicating an awareness of notability. We may as well take them out of the NPP backlog. (This is my first time nominating someone else so if I did it wrong, please let me know!) ~ L 🌸 (talk) 21:17, 16 April 2025 (UTC)

Good day,

As a new editor, I am eager to contribute by editing articles without distractions and addressing vandalism. However, due to the autoconfirmed status restriction, I am currently unable to access those pages.

I would appreciate it if you could review my contributions to assess whether I am qualified to hold these rights. Thank you for your time and consideration. Arc Rev (talk) 05:49, 25 April 2025 (UTC)

 Not done – Hi, and thank you for creating an account to edit Wikipedia. Although I fully understand your desire to dive right in, many of our articles are semi-protected because they are controversial, prone to vandalism, or other reasons. As a new editor with few edits, it might be wise to discuss your edits on the article talkpage in order to gain consensus for your edits, and then use {{Edit semi-protected}} to request the edit be performed. I only recommend this until you are used to the challenges of reliable sources, the biographies of living persons policy, and other similar policies. The good news is that fewer than 5 percent of Wikipedia articles are protected; this means that more than 95 percent of the articles can use your help right now! You will also automatically be confirmed in two more days, and I don't see a valid reason to bypass that waiting period. --Ahecht (TALK

[edit]

Hi! I've been patrolling, creating, and monitoring articles on Wikipedia for months, but recently i've been able to be more active. I would like to request the rollback right - having the right would make my work patrolling Special:RecentChanges easier, as I wouldn't need to manually undo edits, but rather just be able to rollback edits directly. I use tools such as WP:RedWarn and WP:Twinkle, so having rollback rights would help me combat vandalism easier. Not to mention, I am aware of Wikipedia's core policies - such as WP:N, WP:NPOV, etc. As a newcomer myself, I am very well aware of WP:BITE and try to be as friendly and welcoming to new editors as possible.

Hi @Callanecc! I apologize if disturbing, but would I be able to ask for a re-review? Since you replied, i've made about ~300 more edits (60%), and have been able to review quite a few articles with PCR.

Thanks! 👑 Jesus isGreat7 👑 | 📜 Royal Talk 15:00, 21 April 2025 (UTC)

 Not done No experience in this area - please first spend some time (a few weeks to a month) doing recent changes patrol using non-rollback-based tools and only then request rollback. * Pppery * it has begun... 17:08, 24 April 2025 (UTC)

I feel like rollback rights will help me fight vandalism more effectively here on the English Wikipedia. I generally meet the guidelines on the top of this page (I've patrolled actively for the better part of a month now) and I believe it would help me more efficiently fight back against vandalism than being limited to Undo and base Twinkle. I try my best to correctly warn editors as well. Nahida haii 17:19, 22 April 2025 (UTC)

Hi @Nahida I've liked how you've been patrolling so far after a review of your contributions and warnings, though your main space edits are a little on the low side. I'd probably be comfortable with starting you off with pending changes reviewer and you can return to apply for rollback in a few weeks/months once you've used PCR a bit to show your understanding of other important policies such as Copyrights. Does that sound fair? Any other admin can opine here if they think this isn't the best approach that I'm taking. Fathoms Below (talk) 00:52, 25 April 2025 (UTC)
Hi @Fathoms Below! I'm okay with PCR if that's the more comfortable option right now. I understand the lower edit count. Nahida 🌷 01:01, 25 April 2025 (UTC)

I've been dabbling with antivandalism for a bit now. I think using rollback would be helpful for this. I already have it on another project (Commons) so I understand its usefulness. Thank you for your consideration. CutlassCiera 19:53, 22 April 2025 (UTC)

I request rollback rights primarily to get Huggle, AntiVandal, ORES and similar tools to fight and detect vandalism and revert unconstructive edits more easily. I currently have an edit count of 928 and have patrolled recent changes (mostly around January-February). RaschenTechner (talk) 11:58, 23 April 2025 (UTC)

I’ve been patrolling and working on a lot of Pakistani BLP and other no-protection articles on MNAs, MPAs, and programs. Several IP vandals have made changes which I can’t undo. Particularly on the Sehat Sahulat Program, I need a rollback. Titan2456 (talk) 02:10, 25 April 2025 (UTC)

I already had these rights in the past, and I'd like to help with the large amount of pending edit requests. You can check my previous activity at User:Est. 2021/contribs#Edit requests. – Est. 2021 (talk · contribs) 08:30, 19 April 2025 (UTC)

I am inclined to decline this; you have been granted the right twice on a temporary basis, and yet have made almost no template-related edits during those periods (and zero template edits during the previous 2024 trial). You have also not made any TPERs since your last trial. What makes this time different from the previous two? Primefac (talk) 14:00, 19 April 2025 (UTC)
@Primefac: Well, I didn't easily use these rights unless there were valid pending requests. During my trial, I performed 3 and declined 2 of them. None of them has been contested. Yet I'm not going to eagerly engage in unneeded protected edits just to increase my edit count, I only engage in the ones I'm sure about. If you expect me to abuse TPERs and TE rights, it's not going to happen. I just saw there are currently 19 pending requests and I thought I could be helpful, nothing more. Est. 2021 (talk · contribs) 12:57, 20 April 2025 (UTC)
Yes we do need more editors who are willing to look at these requests (currently 25 now), and you could help with this. I think Primefac is asking why you requested the right in Feb 2024 but then made no edits to templates in that period. We would normally expect to see more edits so we can make a decision about applying the right permenantly — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 08:37, 22 April 2025 (UTC)
@MSGJ: Well, I usually don't talk about my personal life here, and I would like to continue on that path, but I also understand why some context may be helpful for you, despite it being private. Unfortunately, as you know, that period you mentioned was few months right after the beginning of the genocide in Gaza, with war crimes to be documented everyday and countless starving families and kids needing help to survive and escape bombings, so as a human rights activist and project manager for the Human Rights Watch on Palestine, I had to focus on that. Besides it being my life-mission and job, human lives obviously came first. So, going back to the question: Wikipedia is very important to me, but you know, we all real-life have priorities. That's all. Est. 2021 (talk · contribs) 23:43, 22 April 2025 (UTC)
That is completely understandable and satisfactory for me. (Sometimes we take ourselves too seriously and this is only a website.) Thanks for offering your services — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 07:57, 23 April 2025 (UTC)
 Done for another trial. For what it's worth, this is not about the intersection of real life vs Wikipedia (but thank you for that explanation), but rather that multiple trials have not shown that you really need (or will use) this permission; if you are busy to the point where you are not doing much TPER-related editing, it makes it hard to justify granting indefinitely.

[edit]

For quite a while now (a year? years? I don't know), I've been frequently making changes to various taxonomic articles to help cut down on Special:WhatLinksHere/Template: Taxobox (there's a relatively new set of templates, such as {{Automatic taxobox}} and {{Speciesbox}}, which is intended to largely replace {{Taxobox}}). These newer templates make use of another set of new templates, {{Taxonomy}}, in order to cut down on difficulties making and maintaining the "Scientific classification" portion of the infoboxes in taxonomic articles.

For example, {{Taxonomy/Homo}} is used by the {{Speciesbox}} on Homo sapiens in order to automatically figure out that the genus Homo is in the subtribe Hominina, then uses {{Taxonomy/Hominina}} to figure out that we're in the tribe Hominini, and so on up through the various taxonomic ranks. In the case of Homo, this is all already done, of course, but it's fairly common that when editing a taxonomic article to update it to the new {{Automatic taxobox}} scheme, you'll also have to create a new {{Taxonomy}} template to go along with it. Also, fairly often I'll notice that an existing {{Taxonomy}} template is missing a reference, or that its parent {{Taxonomy}} template is, so I usually try to update that while I'm there.

And that's what leads me to this request: For most {{Taxonomy}} templates, no special permission is needed to edit them. But once it gets high enough up the taxonomic tree (maybe the Family level? not sure exactly), editing them requires this permission. I don't run into this situation very often, but I do run into it once in a while, and in fact I just ran into it a few minutes ago. So, I would like this permission in order to be able to just make such changes myself rather than opening up a new section on the talk page or whatever, describing the proposed change there, et cetera.

Beyond this specific taxonomy-related stuff, I have on occasion made other template changes in the past, and to modules too (though in that case, almost entirely -- maybe literally entirely, not sure -- just to my own personal MediaWiki-based sites). I don't use Lua very often, but I have used it both in and out of MediaWiki, and before I retired I was a professional computer programmer for decades.

I've also been a Wikipedian for decades (I believe 100% in good standing, but certainly at the very least very close to 100%), and have made thousands of edits, including hundreds of template edits (mostly but not entirely of this taxonomical sort). - Rwv37 (talk) 22:10, 25 April 2025 (UTC)

Standard Guidelines review:
  1. Green tickY (guideline: >1 year, applicant: 21 years)
  2. Green tickY (guideline: >1000 edits, applicant: 2000)
  3. Green tickY (guideline: >150 template edits, applicant: 200)
  4. Green tickY (guideline: !<6 months, applicant: never)
  5. Red XN (guideline: 3 sandboxes, applicant: 0 but more like N/A since sandboxes aren't generally used for this area)
  6. Red XN (guideline: 5 requests, applicant: 0)
This is an odd use case, so the standard guidelines don't apply clearly, but running them anyway. Leaving the merits of this request for others to evaluate. * Pppery * it has begun... 22:34, 25 April 2025 (UTC)
maybe the Family level? not sure exactly - it's based on the number of transclusions, which for taxonomy templates is the number of child taxa with Wikipedia articles (counting genera and above twice). The threshold for template protection is 5000-ish transclusions. * Pppery * it has begun... 22:34, 25 April 2025 (UTC)
I'm not sure I'm understanding, but I think #2 and #3 are reversed - I have over 2000 edits including over 200 template edits, not 200 edits including 2000 template edits. Also, I definitely don't understand what the transclusion count is referring to? I have over 200 template edits definitely not counting transclusions (here are my most recent 200, and you can see there that there's another page after that. Eyeballing it, I think I have maybe 250 or so (again, transclusions not involved).
Like I said, I'm not sure I'm understanding; my apologies if not. - Rwv37 (talk) 22:50, 25 April 2025 (UTC)
Yep, I swapped those, now fixed. The transclusion count comment was referring to what pages get template protected, not your edits. * Pppery * it has begun... 22:51, 25 April 2025 (UTC)
@Pppery Oh, never mind about the transclusion thing - I didn't understand that you were explaining the rules under which a {{Taxonomy}} template would be protected, and mistakenly guessed you were instead talking about my "2000" (really more like 200) template edits. Rwv37 (talk) 22:55, 25 April 2025 (UTC)
I'll take a look at possible mitigation for the protection level of this template family later, but we (admins) might want to consider adjusting either the TPER rules or the protection rules for cases like this where an editor only wants to edit a single template (or template family) and otherwise has no interest in templates elsewhere. I know it's not a discussion for this request specifically but it's been on my mind for a while. Primefac (talk) 00:16, 26 April 2025 (UTC)
@Primefac Thanks. To be clear: (1) I do not "otherwise have no interest in templates elsewhere", but (2) I understand that I haven't really demonstrated much of an interest in templates elsewhere, and (3) it's definitely correct that (at least at the present time, and at least on Wikipedia specifically) most of my interest in templates elsewhere is largely theoretical rather than practical. - Rwv37 (talk) 00:27, 26 April 2025 (UTC)
Apologies, my comment was about the general case (I've been seeing a lot of this type of request in the last few months), so I wasn't necessarily saying you didn't have any interest in other templates. Primefac (talk) 11:29, 26 April 2025 (UTC)
At the moment I am leaning towards "not done for now" primarily because of the lack of edit requests. Being occasionally inconvenienced is not really a reason for having this permission, whereas being regularly inconvenienced demonstrates a need. With zero edit requests (and all of four template-talk-space edits in total) I'm just not seeing that need. Primefac (talk) 12:21, 26 April 2025 (UTC)
