Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – An IP repeatedly vandalising the article by moving it (name change) mutiple times, even after "under construction " template was placed. The article is of a club whose name is changed due to rebranding. Kindly put a page protection immediately. It is causing too much disruption. Drat8sub (talk) 07:11, 20 October 2025 (UTC)
- It is currently at S.C. Delhi Is that where it's supposed to be? Daniel Case (talk) 23:12, 20 October 2025 (UTC)
Reason: 2x copyvio in the past two weeks, first by an IP and second by a new user. SomeoneDreaming (talk) 19:56, 20 October 2025 (UTC)
- Specifically I think temporary pending changes or semiprotection would work. It's not a very frequently edited article. SomeoneDreaming (talk) 19:57, 20 October 2025 (UTC)
- I have initiated some non-templated discussion with the editor about what issues there are. Daniel Case (talk) 00:30, 21 October 2025 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Repeated edit warring from IP, which was previously blocked for one week and returned to their disruption, only to be presently blocked for 31 hours. While protection is not really preemptive, I am requesting temporary protection to prevent further abuse and disruption from occurring. — Trailblazer101🔥 (discuss · contribs) 03:54, 21 October 2025 (UTC)

Current requests for reduction in protection level
[edit]Before posting a request to this page, please discuss it with the protecting administrator first. You can create a request below only if you receive no response from them.
To find out which administrator protected the page, go to the page's edit history and click on the "View logs for this page" link (located underneath the page's title). The protecting administrator is listed in the protection log entry, next to the words "protected", "changed protection level", or "configured pending changes". If there are a large number of log entries on the page, use the drop-down menu near the top of the page and select "Protection log" or "Pending changes log" to filter the logs accordingly.
DO NOT request a reduction in protection if...
- ...you are being prevented from editing the page. A desire to change content is not a valid reason for unprotection. Instead:
- If you can edit the article's talk page, use the WP:Edit Request Wizard to propose a change on the article's talk page. Include an explanation of the exact content that you want to change, and what the content will be afterward.
- If the article's talk page is protected, you may propose a change at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection/Edit.
- ...your reasoning for reducing protection is that the article has not been vandalized. That simply means the protection is working as intended.
- ...your reasoning for reducing protection is basically "a long time has passed" without supporting details.
- ...you haven't contacted the protecting administrator.
You may request a protection reduction below if...
- ...you want to change the protection level of a template or module from full protection to template protection. You may add the request to this page without having to discuss it with the protecting administrator first.
- ...you need to remove creation protection from a location where no page exists (redlinked pages) after a draft version of the intended article is prepared beforehand and ready to be published.
- ...you are proposing a trial reduction in protection for a page that has been protected for several years, provided the proposal is supported by evidence such as talk page activity, page views, page traffic, number of watchers, frequency of edit requests, and prior history of vandalism.
- ...the protecting administrator is inactive or has not responded to you in several days.
If you cannot locate your request, make sure to check the request archives to see if it's been moved there. Only requests that have been recently answered will still be listed here.
Reason: It has been 8 years since this page was semi-protected. I would like to suggest removing the protection. Administrator User:Samsara—who protected the page—has not been active since 2021. The Seal F1 (talk) 13:14, 22 October 2025 (UTC)
Current requests for edits to a protected page
[edit]Please add an edit request to the talk page of the protected page before adding an edit request here
Edit requests should be made on the talk page of the protected article. You can create an edit request below only if the talk page is also protected, preventing you from adding a request there.
- You may add the appropriate template (
{{Edit protected}},{{Edit template-protected}},{{Edit extended-protected}}, or{{Edit semi-protected}}) to the article's talk page if you would like to request an edit be made. Doing so will automatically place the page in the appropriate category for the request to be reviewed. - For edit requests being made due to the editor having a conflict of interest with the article subject (see Wikipedia:Suggestions for COI compliance), the
{{Edit COI}}template should be used instead of the others listed above. - Requests to move pages that are currently move-protected should be made at Wikipedia:Requested moves, not on this page.
- This page is not for holding discussions regarding content. Please make a request only if you have a specific edit that you wish to be performed.
Otherwise, this is the correct place to use in order to add an edit request if you are unable to add one to the article's talk page. Please see the top of this page for instructions on how to properly add a request.
