Wookieepedia:Requests for protection

From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.

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.

Wookieepedia administrators can raise and lower protection levels at will to prevent vandalism.

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 Wookieepedia: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=== 

#[[Article name]] Give a brief reasoning for changing the page's protection level.
 Sign with your signature (by typing ~~~~). 

#*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.

[edit] Requests for protection

[edit] 11 November 2009

  1. Is there a time limit to how long pages are locked? I still haven't fully got the hang of this site. —Unsigned comment by 87.114.80.57 (talk • contribs).
    • Not a set time limit, no. Looking down this page, you can see that several different lengths of protection have been employed; it's also possible to lock a page indefinitely. Generally speaking, if you want to see a protected page unprotected, you should make a request in the section for it at the bottom of this page. I'd recommend registering and performing a few productive edits on unprotected articles first, though; anonymous contributors are generally the source of vandalism, and so are less likely to have a page that was protected as a result of vandalism in the first place unprotected for them. jSarek 22:09, November 10, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] 27 September 2009

  1. CC-7567: As an important character of TCW, a lot of vandalism. I'd use semi-protection indefinite here, as it's very likely that these edits won't stop within the next time. Pranay Sobusk ~ Talk 16:26, September 27, 2009 (UTC)
    • Semi-protected. Havac 17:22, September 27, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] 21 September 2009

  1. Children of the Force—upcoming episode, target for unverified info from anons. History basically says it all.
  2. Denal—aside from the episode part, same issue as above. CC7567 (talk) 16:34, September 21, 2009 (UTC)
    • Both taken care of: 1 month each. JorrelFraajic 17:20, September 21, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] 01 September 2009

  1. Stormtrooper sniper/Stormtrooper marksman - New user continually removing the redirect to Stormtrooper. - JMAS Hey, it's me! 18:26, September 1, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] 31 July 2009

  1. CC-1119 - as always, just check the history. MauserComlink 19:51, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] 18 July 2009

  1. Han Solo — As with so many requests on this page, the recent history speaks for itself. Being such a major character, this might be a good case for indefinite semi-protection like several other major characters. —Master Jonathan(Jedi Council Chambers) 01:11, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
    • Semi-protected indefinitely, constant vandal target. Grunny (Talk) 01:21, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] 17 July 2009

  1. Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Republic Heroes: False referencing is being used by an anon, and none of the sources he/she provides verifies the claims. The guy either needs a block, or the page needs to be locked, but I'd thought I'd request the latter here. CC7567 (talk) 15:45, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] 13 July 2009

Iridonian. Again, the recent History seems to speak for itself. People can't seem to understand what a misspelling is. Trak Nar Ramble on 03:02, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] 12 July 2009

Darth Tenebrous. History speaks for itself. MauserComlink 07:02, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

  • Protected like the taste of Miller Lite. Havac 07:18, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] 2 June 2009

  1. Please protect all pages in my userspace as follows:

[edit] 31 May 2009

  1. Aayla Secura: Currently being vandalized by several anons; see the page's history. CC7567 (talk) 21:09, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
    • Protected. Havac 21:24, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] 24 May, 2009

  1. Brianna - Nubcakery. -- I need a name (Complain here) 20:30, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] 21 May, 2009

  1. Visas Marr - Identical vandalism from various accounts. -- I need a name (Complain here) 22:48, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
    Semi-protected for a month. —Silly Dan (talk) 22:51, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] 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)

[edit] 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 (Nihilus Speak) 17:50, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] 24 April, 2009

  1. N'Kata Del Gormo—his history says it all. Master JonathanJedi Council Chambers 20:30, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] 23 April, 2009

  1. Ewok - Vandalism from various IPs. -- I need a name (Complain here) 12:04, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] 15 April, 2009

  1. Darth Vectivus fell a victim to an edit war. Please semi-protect the page and revert the last edit by the anon. Mauser 18:00, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
  2. Jedi has been vandalized by anons several times [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8] during the last month, so I'd propose to semi-protect the article in order to stop this vandalism. Pranay Sobusk ~ Talk 18:51, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] 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)
    • All of the above have been semi-protected until fall begins. jSarek 01:00, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

[edit] 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)

[edit] 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. —Silly Dan (talk) 23:53, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

[edit] 16 February, 2009

  1. Ridge—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)
    • Protected for three months. jSarek 06:42, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

[edit] 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 (Talk page) 20:45, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

[edit] 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).
    • Semi-protected, with expiration in May. jSarek 06:10, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

[edit] 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)
    • 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)

[edit] Requests for unprotection

[edit] 12 November 2009

  1. I'd like to request that someone unprotects Barriss Offee and Aayla Secura's pages. No one has put anything into Aayla's personality and traits section and Barriss doesn't even have a personality and traits or a powers and abilities section. I'd also like it if Ahsoka Tano's page was unprotected but I understand if you want her page to remain protected. —Unsigned comment by 87.115.21.185 (talk • contribs).
    • Done for all three, but we'll be watching for vandalism on Aayla and Ahsoka. Atarumaster88 (Talk page) 18:46, November 11, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] 06 October, 2009

  1. Template:Msg-fanon: I'd like to make a minor tweak to the template's formatting without changing the template's content or design (the design only avoids the source being cluttered with unnecessary if-clauses). You can reprotect it again after the edit is made. Pranay Sobusk ~ Talk 15:14, October 6, 2009 (UTC)
    • I'll wait for a more coding-minded administrator to make a decision on this, but I would like to point out that the last time you made such an edit to one of our templates (see edit history for Template:Talkheader), everything had to be reverted because it completely screwed things up. Toprawa and Ralltiir 16:49, October 6, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] 10 September, 2009

  1. Star Wars Customizable Card Game has been fully protected for almost two years now. Surely there's no reason not to drop it at least semi-protected, as I'd like to make some minor edits. MauserComlink 16:25, September 10, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] 14 July, 2009

  1. Template:Majorspoiler — reduce to semi-protection and move protection. I see no reason for this to be full protected, plus I have a slight tweak that would use an optional parameter to identify the name of the source(s) that the spoiler is/are from (seen here and here) that I would like to implement. —Master Jonathan(Jedi Council Chambers) 04:50, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
  • Well, I see no reason for it to be protected now, and I like your idea. Before you change it, however, I'd recommend talking to a couple others just to get their take on it if you haven't already. I think it will be approved though. At any rate, it's now unprotected. Chack Jadson (Talk) 14:09, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] 4 June, 2009

  1. Gavyn Sykes and Fox (clone commander) have both been fully protected since at least March due to edit wars that should've ended by now. -- I need a name (Complain here) 19:05, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] 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. MauserComlink 10:11, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] 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.—Unsigned comment by 88.108.131.42 (talk • contribs).
    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. —Silly Dan (talk) 13:29, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
