• Donald Trump (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Reason: High level of vandalism including blanking the page and replacing it with messages claiming Elon Musk or Donald Trump is a Nazi. Even extended-confirmed users are vandalizing this article. Please set this page protection level to fully protected. Evrstz (talk) 16:18, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Evrstz: The only person I see doing that has been glocked as a sockpuppet of a long-term abuser. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v ^{threads critiques} 16:21, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Before posting, first discuss with the protecting admin on their talk page. Post below only if you receive no reply.

• To find out the username of the admin who protected the page, click on "history" at the top of the page, then click on "View logs for this page," which is under the title of the page. The protecting admin is the username in blue before the words "protected", "changed protection level" or "pending changes". If there are a number of entries on the log page, you might find it easier to select "Protection log" or "Pending changes log" from the dropdown menu in the blue box.
• Requests to downgrade full protection to template protection on templates and modules can be directed straight here; you do not need to ask the protecting admin first.
• Requests for removing create protection on redlinked articles are generally assisted by having a draft version of the intended article prepared beforehand.
• If you want to make spelling corrections or add uncontroversial information to a protected page, please add {{Edit fully-protected}} to the article's talk page, along with an explanation of what you want to add to the page. If the talk page is protected, please use the section below.

Check the archives if you cannot find your request. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.

• Skrilla (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Reason: Page protection is now 14 years old and refers to the repeated creation of an article about a non-notable DJ from Tampa—a notable rapper from Philadelphia shares this name. Admin who protected the page is no longer an admin. benǝʇᴉɯ 22:47, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I should also note that it's more than possible that WP:ACPERM and the availability of XCP as an option for creation protection both make the full creation protection irrelevant/not as needed. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v ^{threads critiques} 06:36, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Talk:List of telephone country codes (edit | subject | history | links | watch | logs)

Reason: The protection is no longer necessary because ....... unregistered users must be use edit request and to make edit notice to prevent put phone numbers 2001:44C8:4245:EA3:E156:F27B:9DA5:6B8C (talk) 09:19, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Automated comment: This user who requested protection has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.—^{cyberbot I}_{Talk to my owner:Online} 09:22, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Given the main reason the page was protected was because people were posting phone numbers - information which is suppressable on discovery - protection rather than an edit notice would serve much better. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v ^{threads critiques} 16:14, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ideally, requests should be made on the article talk page rather than here.

• Unless the talk page itself is protected, you may instead add the appropriate template among {{Edit protected}}, {{Edit template-protected}}, {{Edit extended-protected}}, or {{Edit semi-protected}} to the article's talk page if you would like to make a change rather than requesting it here. Doing so will automatically place the page in the appropriate category for the request to be reviewed.
• Where requests are made due to the editor having a conflict of interest (COI; see Wikipedia:Suggestions for COI compliance), the {{Edit COI}} template should be used.
• Requests to move move-protected pages should be made at Wikipedia:Requested moves, not here.
• If the discussion page and the article are both protected preventing you from making an edit request, this page is the right place to make that request. Please see the top of this page for instructions on how to post requests.
• This page is not for continuing or starting discussions regarding content should both an article and its discussion page be protected. Please make a request only if you have a specific edit you wish to make.

A historical archive of previous protection requests can be found at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection/Archive.
