View source for Wikipedia:Requests for page protection
You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:
This page is currently semi-protected so that only established, registered users can edit it.Why is the page protected?
- While most articles can be edited by anyone, semi-protection is sometimes necessary to prevent vandalism to popular pages.
- The reason for protection can be found in the protection log. If there are no relevant entries in the protection log, the page may have been moved after being protected.
What can I do?
- If you have a user account, log in first. If you do not yet have an account, you may create one; after 4 days and 10 edits, you will be able to edit semi-protected pages.
- Discuss this page with others.
- For move-protected pages, see requested moves.
- Request that the page's protection level be reduced.
- Find out more about how to get started editing Wikipedia.
- If you have noticed an error or have a suggestion for a simple, non-controversial change, please check the talk page first in case the issue is already being discussed. If the issue has not been discussed yet, you can submit an edit request at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection/Edit. Make sure to clearly describe which page your request is about, and which change exactly you are requesting.
- If you wrote any text, please save it temporarily to your device until you can edit this page.
RFPP administrator notation templates
New to RFPP? Read me!
Administrators: These are comment templates that are appended to page protection reports to indicate the course of action that has been taken. To use, place the template after the submission you are dealing with (do not substitute!). The main template may be found at Template:RFPP. The template must be indented at least once in order for the bot to archive the report the template is attached to.
If the page has been protected (the s, p or m option) with an expiration, then a second optional parameter that accepts the duration can be specified. For example,
{{RFPP|p|1 week}}produces:
Fully protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected.
- Notes
Some of the template variations have support for multiple parameters - these are marked as X and Y in the table below, with X being the second variable and Y being the third. Variations that have a Y variable will require X.
This template supports "indefinite" in the duration field where applicable. "indef" and "infinite" are synonyms.
