This page is for requesting that a page, file or template be protected. Please read up on 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 only 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, 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 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.

ECP: Just like El C did the protection of a 99% similar subject (Breast tax) here, this page should be ECP protected as well to avoid further disruption. Wareon (talk) 18:28, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
Declined – Pages are not protected preemptively. I'm not seeing any evidence of major disruptive editing. If you think I'm missing something feel free to ping me with diffs. Ad Orientem (talk) 20:40, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
- Just noting that I did not protect or upgrade the protection of Breast tax preemptively. I've protected 1 page preemptively in 2021 (Jill Biden from none to indef semi upon Joe Biden assuming the presidency) and 0 in 2022. @Wareon and Ad Orientem: courtesy ping. El_C 23:30, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
Declined – 2022 Serbian general election
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – IP users keep adding an opinion poll that was commissioned by a party, this was already settled down last year on the page by multiple editors, protection will be needed. Vacant0 (talk) 23:29, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
Semi-protected for a period of 2 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Ad Orientem (talk) 00:33, 11 March 2022 (UTC)
