Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 11:11, 12 November 2013

Welcome—request protection of a page, file, or template here.

Shortcuts WP:RFPP WP:RFP WP:RPP 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. Skip to table of contents requests to raise protection lower protection requested edits (purge) Request protection of a page, or increasing the protection level Request protection Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level Request unprotection Request a specific edit to a protected page Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here Request edit

I smell a content dispute and seriously, go read WP:OWN because we don't have "administrators" over any articles. tutterMouse (talk) 09:26, 12 November 2013 (UTC)

I am representative of this client. I meant administrator in the sense I am to supervise this Misplaced Pages article. Sorry for the terminology confusion. PrincessKannapolis (talk) 15:08, 12 November 2013 (UTC)

Template:Tfm/dated (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Template protection: Similar to {{Template for discussion/dated}}, this is a warning message that is transcluded in the template {{Tfm}}, and thus has the potential to be highly visible. Steel1943 (talk) 06:44, 12 November 2013 (UTC)

Craig Cobb (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

I protected for a month, but then reverted myself as I may actually be WP:INVOLVED here. Mark Arsten (talk) 04:31, 12 November 2013 (UTC)

Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – The dispute whether or not the list should split is persistent and others are unaware of the talk page. . —CKY2250  01:06, 12 November 2013 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Mark Arsten (talk) 04:26, 12 November 2013 (UTC)

Kevin Magnussen (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Temporary protection: Related to the above - article is being updated to say he will race in 2014, but reference from reliable source makes it clear nothing is confirmed. Prisonermonkeys (talk) 23:18, 11 November 2013 (UTC)

Full-protection: Repeated edit warring with factually incorrect content and violation of 3RR by single user 704.108 over several months. Article was semi-protected last week but behavior has continued with newly registered ID — Preceding unsigned comment added by Polyglottz (talk • contribs) 22:21, 11 November 2013 (UTC)

Note: From what I am seeing, it looks like there are at least two sockpuppet "masters", and one of them looks like a duck. Steel1943 (talk) 22:44, 11 November 2013 (UTC)

Consider the edit warring noticeboard – This is a case of possible edit-warring by one or two users. Mark Arsten (talk) 04:15, 12 November 2013 (UTC)

Current requests for unprotection

• WP:RFUP
• WP:RFPU

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.

Template:Nutshell (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Change to template protection: To allow template editors to edit this template. And, in my specific case, test (and hopefully apply) some fixes/enhancements to the "shortcut|" modifiers. Steel1943 (talk) 08:02, 12 November 2013 (UTC)

Template:Images (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Change to template protection: So that this template can be edited by template editors, and to place the currently necessary {{Tfd}} notification on the template. Steel1943 (talk) 07:00, 12 November 2013 (UTC)

Template protected by MSGJ (talk · contribs · blocks · protections · deletions · page moves · rights · RfA). Armbrust 10:51, 12 November 2013 (UTC)

Murder of Sian O'Callaghan (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Unprotection: There was no vandalism before protection, and there is no vandalism recently. And are you sure that "pending changes" is not too much? By the way, the protecting admin. is inactive since early this year. George Ho (talk) 06:34, 12 November 2013 (UTC)

Current requests for edits to a protected page

• WP:RFED

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 Misplaced Pages:Suggestions for COI compliance), the {{Edit COI}} template should be used.
• Requests to move move-protected pages should be made at Misplaced Pages: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.
