This page can be used to request an update to a file that has been protected. Some files are protected due to high visibility, which makes them targets for vandalism. To request an update, please follow these steps:
- Upload your updated file under a different name.
- On the talk page of the protected file, add a section describing and justifying your proposed change. Do this even if the talk page is empty.
- At the bottom of this page, add the following: {{Request update protected|name of protected file|name of updated version}} ~~~~
Instructions for administrators:
- Click on the links to look at the current and updated versions and the discussion on the talk page.
- Give contributors watching the protected file at least one day to respond on the talk page, particularly if the talk page has existing previous discussion.
- If there is no ongoing discussion about the change, and the change seems reasonable, go ahead and upload the update; be sure to note the user who created it in the edit summary. Don't worry too much about the performance impact. Then delete the updated image under its previous name.
- If the change seems unreasonable, it might still be useful to keep it under the alternate name. If so, leave it; if not, delete it.
- Remove the entry from this list.
