Wikipedia:Requests for page protection/Decrease
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.

Reason: Semi-protected indefinitely over a year. Can they be downed to WP:PCPP? Also, one of the users who protected the pages does not seem to be an administrator anymore. Meanwhile, the other appears to have been notified about the matter about a month ago but no response had been taken.154.107.12.95 (talk) 00:45, 1 August 2025 (UTC)
- Just because someone isn't an admin anymore doesn't mean they can't have an opionion. @Materialscientist: @MelanieN: What do you think? In many cases I see PCP as increasing the burden on regular editors to review and decline edits that normally would not appear with a normal protection level. ~Anachronist (talk) 08:01, 1 August 2025 (UTC)
Unprotection: As with crocodile, we can try pending changes, since it seemed to work on that page. Thepharoah17 (talk) 22:20, 3 August 2025 (UTC)
