This page is for requesting that a page, file or template be '''protected'''. Please read up on the [[Wikipedia:Protection policy|protection policy]]. Full protection is used to stop edit warring between multiple users or to prevent vandalism to [[Wikipedia:High-risk templates|high-risk templates]]; semi-protection and pending changes are usually used only to prevent IP and new user vandalism (see the [[Wikipedia:Rough guide to semi-protection|rough guide to semi-protection]]); and move protection is used to stop [[Wikipedia:Moving a page|pagemove]] revert wars. Extended confirmed protection is used where semi-protection has proved insufficient (see the [[Wikipedia:Rough guide to extended confirmed protection|rough guide to extended confirmed protection]])

After a page has been protected, the protection is listed in the page history and logs with a short description indicating why it was protected, and the article is listed on [[Special:Protectedpages]]. Further discussion should take place on the Talk page of the article. In the case of full protection due to edit warring, admins do not revert to specific versions of the page, except to get rid of [[Wikipedia:Vandalism|obvious vandalism]].

'''Note''': Editors should ''not'' consider requesting page protection as a method for continuing an argument from elsewhere nor as a venue for starting a new discussion regarding article content. If a request contains excessive argument, appears to be intended to resolve a content dispute, includes personal attacks or uncivil comments, or has any other unrelated discussion, it will be removed from this page and no action will be taken.
