This page is for requesting that a page, file or template be {{strong|fully protected}}, {{strong|create protected}} ([[Wikipedia:Protection policy#Creation protection|salted]]), {{strong|extended confirmed protected}}, {{strong|semi-protected}}, added to {{strong|pending changes}}, {{strong|move-protected}}, {{strong|template protected}}, {{strong|upload protected}} (file-specific), or {{strong|unprotected}}. Please read the [[Wikipedia:Protection policy|protection policy]] for details. 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:Page-move war|page-move 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]])

If you would like to request to have a page protected, have a page's existing protection level lowered or raised, or would like to submit an edit request for a protected page, please follow these steps (note: if you enable the [[Wikipedia:Twinkle|Twinkle]] gadget for your Wikipedia account, this process can be largely automated for you):
<hr>
# If you are requesting ''un''protection, the correct protocol is to ask the protecting administrator first for unprotection (the admin's user account name can be found in the page's edit history). If for any reason he or she is unresponsive, unwilling, or unable to lower protection then you may list your request on this page.
<div class="center">{{Wikipedia:Requests for page protection/Button edit}}</div>
# Add a [[Help:Cheatsheet#Section headings|level-3 header]] (i.e. <code><nowiki>=== [[Example title]] ===</nowiki></code>) with the exact title of the page you would like (un)protected. If the page is not in the article namespace, include the namespace prefix (e.g. <code>{{em|Template}}:Example template</code> or <code>{{em|User}}:Example user</code>). Place your request <big>{{hilite|at the {{strong|bottom}}}}</big> of either the protection or unprotection list, depending on the nature of your request. {{em|Please make sure you have spelled the name of the article properly}}; a common error stems from mistaken requests for the protection of redirects, particularly capitalised ones ([[WP:Twinkle|Twinkle]] can make sure this never happens to you!)
# Place the pagelinks template below the header, in the form of <code><nowiki>* {{pagelinks|Example title}}</nowiki></code> (note the asterisk).
# If you are requesting protection, write the type of request (full protection, semi-protection, pending changes, move protection) and a brief reason for your request below your header.
# {{strong|Please do not add arbitrary requests for a protection expiry time to your request, or request indefinite protection arbitrarily.}}
#* If there is a reason for a page to be protected for a certain amount of time, such as protecting a user talk page until the user is unblocked, please make this clear.
#* If you are requesting indefinite semi-protection or pending changes, be aware that it is only applied to articles with {{em|endemic and endless vandalism problems}} that multiple increasing periods of temporary semi-protection or pending changes have failed to stop.
#* Note that different expiry times can be set for edit- and for move-protections— thus, an article can, for example, be semi-edit-protected for a week and also fully-move-protected indefinitely.
# Sign your request with four tildes <code><nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code> and click <code>Publish changes</code>.

* {{strong|Note:}} editors should {{em|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.

;Examples
;;For single page requests
<pre>
=== [[Example Article Name]] ===

"WP:RFP" and "WP:RPP" redirect here. You may also be looking for Wikipedia:Requests for permissions, Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission, or Wikipedia:Random page patrol.
    Welcome—request protection of a page, file, or template here.
    Shortcuts

    Before requesting, read the protection policy. Full protection is used to stop edit warring between multiple users or to prevent vandalism to high-risk templates; semi-protection and pending changes are usually used to prevent IP and new user vandalism (see the rough guide to semi-protection); and move protection is used to stop pagemove revert wars. Extended confirmed protection is used where semi-protection has proved insufficient (see the rough guide to extended confirmed protection)

    After a page has been protected, it is listed in the page history and logs with a short rationale, and the article is listed on Special:Protectedpages. In the case of full protection due to edit warring, admins should not revert to specific versions of the page, except to get rid of obvious vandalism.

    Request protection of a page, or increasing the protection level
    Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level
    Request a specific edit to a protected page
    Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here
