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 four 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) Defender-class light corvette, Thranta-class Republic Corvette, Republic Capitol Ship and Sith battlecruiser - Constant fanon from the same IP range. --  I need a name  ( Complain here ) 18:20, May 11, 2011 (UTC)
 * 2) *Done. Grand Moff Tranner Imperial Department of Military Research.svg (Comlink) 19:52, May 11, 2011 (UTC)

 * 1) Jedi Code &mdash; Persistent adding of OOU/OR/speculative interpretations by anons to the extent that most of the recent (read: since 2008) edits by registered users are reversions. N  AYAYEN  10:00, May 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * 2) *Done. Grunny  ( talk ) 10:42, May 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * 3) Eclipse-class Super Star Destroyer &mdash; This article had been attracting quite a lot of fanon edits from anonymous contributors and new users during its history&mdash;including the recent period of time&mdash;, so I think that a semi-protection would be appropriate.&mdash; TK-999  Era-imp.png( Rise of the Empire ) 20:21, May 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * 4) *Done. Grunny  ( talk ) 23:44, May 2, 2011 (UTC)

 * 1) Rodia &mdash; A semi-protect for this one. It's been seeing some counter-productive edit-warring this evening.  Trak Nar  Ramble on 08:40, April 13, 2011 (UTC)
 * 2) *Vandalizing user already blocked, but article semi-protected for two weeks.  CC7567  (talk) 19:03, April 16, 2011 (UTC)

March 24, 2011

 * 1) Wookieepedians &mdash; This probably should be fully create-protected, as it's likely that someone will try to recreate it since there are thousands upon thousands of redlinks to this page out there from welcome messages. Whatever admin takes care of this, please also note that the Wikia welcome tool is still adding these redlinks via MediaWiki:Welcome-message-user, so that redlink should be removed (and also the ones on MediaWiki:Welcome-message-anon and MediaWiki:Welcome-user-page, even though the tool isn't configured to use those).  Master Jonathan  (Council Chambers)  Thursday, March 24, 2011, 02:39 UTC
 * 2) *All done. Toprawa and Ralltiir 02:57, March 24, 2011 (UTC)

 * 1) Sexes &mdash; Take a peek at the History. It's a vandalism magnet.  Trak Nar  Ramble on 08:53, March 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * 2) *Got it. I would have protected it earlier, but thanks for the heads up, Trak. --  Riffsyphon  1024 08:54, March 2, 2011 (UTC)

February 8, 2011

 * 1) Confederacy of Independent Systems has been attracting a lot of anons adding unverified info. The edit history speaks for itself. NAYAYEN &mdash;it appears to be a frammistat 11:07, February 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * 2) *Done. Grunny  ( talk ) 13:25, February 8, 2011 (UTC)

January 25, 2011

 * 1) Force Lightning has been vandalised many, many times over the last month, both by unregistered users and newly registered users. It seems unlikely that those users actually trying to improve the article would be troubled by a semi-protection which would help to stop these attempts to sneak "mmmmmmmmmaaaaaaaaxxxxxxx" into the article.  Holocron Greatholocron.jpg (Complain) 13:48, January 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * 2) *When crap edits start outnumbering legitimate edits, it's sprot time. Toprawa and Ralltiir 21:27, January 24, 2011 (UTC)

January 15, 2011

 * 1) Forum:Index should have the same semi-protection the index pages for the individual forums have, to prevent spam (like the edit I just removed.) &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 13:15, January 15, 2011 (UTC)
 * 2) *Actually, I can't think of any reason it can't be fully protected. So now it is. -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 16:01, January 15, 2011 (UTC)
 * 3) Alderaan - A repeat offender with a series of different IP addresses has returned to add nonsense to the terrain section, so I'd like to nip this in the bud. --  I need a name  ( Complain here ) 22:40, January 15, 2011 (UTC)
 * 4) *Semi-protected indefinitely.  CC7567  (talk) 23:04, January 15, 2011 (UTC)
