Wookieepedia:Requests for protection

The requests for protection page is where users can request permanent or temporary page protection. Alternately, this page is also used to request unprotection once the dispute has been resolved. Page protection is an administrative power that restricts editing access to certain types of users. Pages can be semi-protected, which means that anonymous and users who have had a registered Wookieepedia account for fewer than three days cannot edit the page or any of its sections. For more severe situations, pages can also be given full protection (aka "locked"), meaning that only the administrators can edit it. An example of a page that is permanently locked is the Main Page. (So don't ask for it to be unprotected).

In addition, users can request unconditional protection and unprotection of pages in their userspace, like user pages, signature pseudo-templates and talk page archives. Talk pages themselves, however, can only be protected in case of repetitive vandalism. For a more detailed explanation of what pages can or should be protected, see Protected page.

Please add a new request for protection/unprotection under the appropriate heading, either "Requests for protection" or "Requests for unprotection," in the following format:

===Current date=== Sign with your signature (by typing ~).
 * 1) Article name Give a brief reasoning for changing the page's protection level.
 * 1) *Subsequent details should be added under the initial report in this form.

A member of the friendly administration will then review your request and make a decision. (Note to Mods: All administrative postings on this matter are encompassed under administrative autonomy).

Always preview the page before submitting your report to avoid problems with formatting.

Listings on this page will be removed after one month and stored in the archive.

Also, one can approach an individual administrator and request for a page to be locked or protected on their talk page.

 * 1) Please protect all pages in my userspace as follows:
 * 2) *User:Master Jonathan, User:Master Jonathan/Ona Nobis, User:Master Jonathan/Xanatos, User:Master Jonathan/Granta Omega, User:Master Jonathan/QOTD work page, and User:Master Jonathan/Award templates: Semi-protect; move-protect.
 * 3) *User talk:Master Jonathan/Welcome and User talk:Master Jonathan/Archive1: Full-protect (talk page archives)
 * 4) *Thank you. Master JonathanJedi Council Chambers 03:15, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
 * 5) **We typically don't protect user pages unless they've been the subject of extensive vandalism. —Xwing328 (Talk) 03:34, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
 * 6) ***Well, I was going by the statement above that says "users can request unconditional protection and unprotection of pages in their userspace". Also, there was an noob on my userpage about an hour ago, which is what prompted me to make this request, and I figured I'd just cover all my bases while I was at it.

19 May 2009

 * 1) Mace Windu: Frequent vandalism target during the last few months, so I'd say semi-protect it from editing and full-protect from moving while being at it, because he'll likely don't need to be moved and he makes a good move-vandal target.  Pranay Sobusk  ~  Talk  11:04, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
 * 2) *Given a three month protection, move page limited to administrators only. - Cavalier One FarStar Logo.jpg( Squadron channel ) 11:09, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

7 May 2009

 * 1) user:Anju Vena Because I have had repeated unauthorized edits form various IP's I would say only semi protection is needed but thats just my thoughts.-- Anju Vena  KDY.svg‎  ( Nihilus Speak ) 17:50, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

 * 4) *Three months protection. Atarumaster88  Jedi_Order.svg ( Talk page ) 01:14, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

25 March, 2009

 * 1) I would request that both "Cargo of Doom" and The Clone Wars: Season Two be semi-protected against edits by new and anonymous users. They seem to be having speculative and unconfirmed information added fairly frequently. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 00:15, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
 * 2) I would request that "Holocron Heist" be semi-protected against anon and new users, for the same reasons as Cargo of Doom and The Clone Wars: Season Two. There has recently been some anon vandalism, as well. Lucius malfoy7 00:53, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
 * 3) *All of the above have been semi-protected until fall begins. jSarek 01:00, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

23 March, 2009

 * 1) I would propose to protect the article Jaster Mereel [move=sysop]. The page has recently been moved twice to vandalism titles, and if this page should ever need to be moved, it's always possible to ask an admin.  Pranay Sobusk  ~  Talk  15:31, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
 * 2) *Move protected for the next few months. Atarumaster88  Jedi_Order.svg ( Talk page ) 15:36, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

17 February, 2009

 * 1) Jaina Solo: Per recent anon vandalism to the article. DC 23:45, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't think it's needed for now: only two anonymous edits in the past month, and only one was vandalism. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 23:53, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

16 February, 2009

 * 1) Ridge&mdash;I have provided a canonical source for Ridge's death on Teth, as well as specific details in my edit summaries, yet anons keep "making" him survive. Request semi-protection. Master JonathanJedi Council Chambers 02:49, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
 * 2) *Protected for three months. jSarek 06:42, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

11 February, 2009

 * 1) The Clone Wars: Season Two This article hasn't really been attacked by unsourced information yet, but I have a feeling it will be soon, especially with so many sources out there already "posting" what the Season Two episodes will be. --CC7567 20:04, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Eh, there's no point in being over-protective quite just yet. Denied for now. Atarumaster88  Jedi_Order.svg ( Talk page ) 20:45, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

10 February, 2009

 * 1) Three-five - just look at the poor guy's history and see if he should be protected finally Mauser 04:53, 10 February 2009 (UTC).
 * 2) *Semi-protected, with expiration in May. jSarek 06:10, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

1 January, 2009

 * 1) Please make The Clone Wars: Season I semi-protected. It's a page constantly attracting speculation and I already reverted unsourced addition twice. Better leave it closed from newbies. Mauser 18:27, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
 * 2) *Semi-protected, with expiration in June. Note, though, that The2ndQuest, who made the last edit, is not only a long-time (albeit infrequent) contributor, but also a generally knowledgeable chap with good standing in fandom; you might want to address some of your questions about the sources of these new edits to his talk page. jSarek 22:50, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

10 May 2009

 * 1) Please lower the protection level of File:AhsokaSlave.jpg to at least semi-protected so I can properly re-categorize it.  Mauser  Comlink 10:11, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

15 March 2009

 * 1) Galen Marek - both the article and talk pages are locked and I think there may be some canon mistakes still in the article.
 * I'm unlocking the talk page, but I'll leave it up to another admin who's more familiar with the article to decide if the indefinite semi-protection on the article is still needed. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 13:29, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
