Requests for page protection

This page is for requestin that a page, image or template be fully pertectit, create pertectit (saltit), semi-pertectit, move-pertectit, or unpertectit. Please reid up on the pertection policy. Full pertection is uised tae stap edit warrin atween multiple uisers or tae prevent vandalism tae heich-risk templates, semi-protection is uisually used anly tae prevent IP an new uiser vandalism (see the rough guide tae semi-protection), an move pertection is uised tae stap pagemove revert wars.

Efter a page haes been pertectit, the pertection is leeted in the page history an logs wi a short description indicating why it wis pertectit, an the airticle is leetit on Special:Protectedpages. Further discussion should tak place on the Talk page o the airticle. In the case o full protection due tae edit warrin, admins dae nae revert tae specific versions o the page, except tae get rid o obvious vandalism.

Instructions

If ye would lik tae request a page tae be pertectit or unpertectit, please follae the follaein steps:

If ye are requesting unpertection, it is almaist always a guid idea tae ask the pertectin admin first afore leetin a page here.
Add a level 4 header (i.e. ==== {{lx|Example}} ====, whaur "x" staunds for the namespace) at the TAP o either the pertection or unpertection leet an place ane o the templates frae the table ablo within the heider. Please mak sure ye hae spelled the name o the airticle properly; a common error stems frae mistaken requests for the pertection o redirects, particularly capitalised anes.
If ye are requestin pertection, place the type o request (full pertection, semi-pertection, move protection) an a brief reason for yer request ablo yer heider.
Please dae nae add arbitrary requests for a pertection expiry time tae yer request, or request indefinite pertection arbitrarily.
- If thare is a reason for a page tae be perotectit for a certain amoont o time, such as pertectin a uisertalk page till the uiser is unblocked, please mak this clear.
- If ye are requestin indefinite semi-pertection, be aware that it is anly applied tae airticles wi endemic an endless vandalism problems which multiple increasin periods o temporary semi-pertection hae failed tae stap.
- Note that different expiry times can nou be set for edit an move-protections, so an airticle can, for example, be semi-edit-pertectit for a week an full-move-pertectit indefinitely.
Sign yer request wi fower tildes ~~~~ an save.

Note: this is nae a venue for continuin an argument frae elsewhaur. If a request contains excessive arguin, is bein uised for edit-warrin or content disputes, contains personal attacks or uncivil comments, or ony ither unrelatit discussion, it will be removed frae this page.

Administrator instructions

Current requests for protection

Place requests for semi-pertection, full pertection, move pertection, or create pertection at the TAP o this section. Check the rollin archive o fulfilled an denied requests or, failin that, the page history if ye cannae find yer request. Anly recently answered requests are still leetit here.

Current requests for unprotection

If ye simply want tae mak spellin corrections or add information tae a pertectit page that is nae disputit, an ye are nae involved in ony disputes thare, consider simply addin {{Editprotected}} tae the airticle's collogue page, alang wi an explanation o whit ye want tae add tae the page. See the leet o current {{Editprotected}} requests.

If ye want an existin page unpertectit, please try tae ask the pertectin admin first afore makin a request here.

Check here if ye cannot find yer request. Anly recently answered requests are still leetit here.

Current requests for edits tae a protectit page

Ideally, requests should be made on the airticle collogue page rather nor here.

Unless the collogue page itself is pertectit, ye mey instead add {{Editprotected}}, {{Editsemiprotected}} or {{Request edit}} tae the airticle's collogue page if ye would lik tae mak a chynge rather nor requestin it here. Daein sae will automatically place the page in Category:Requestit edits, Category:Wikipaedia semi-protectit edit requests or Category:Wikipaedia protectit edit requests.
If the discussion page an the airticle are both locked, this page is the richt place tae request an edit. Please see the tap o this page for instructions on hou tae post requests.
