Before posting, first discuss with the protecting admin at 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.

Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level

Reason: Blocking to-be-accepted AfC draft. C F A 💬 03:29, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@CFA: I reduced it to ECP, just because I'm curious if that's going to work. If it doesn't let me know and I'll remove the protection. ~Anachronist (talk) 03:33, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, that's fine. I just needed to tag it for speedy deletion. C F A 💬 03:35, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
OK, I deleted it. Erledigt. ~Anachronist (talk) 03:37, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This now new article should almost certainly be at minimum, semiprotected (equivalent to that of penis), just to keep the driveby juvenile vandals off it, no? Zinnober9 (talk) 03:59, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Anachronist: would you be willing to decrease the protection of weenis and weenus as well so redirects may be created? Mbdfar (talk) 04:26, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Extended confirmed protected For both. Lectonar (talk) 07:12, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! I forgot to mention wenus as well. Mbdfar (talk) 10:09, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Done as well, ec-protection. Lectonar (talk) 11:04, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: It's been a year since this article was upgraded to EC protection. Daniel Case (discussion) has told me to put the request here to decide whether or not it should be dropped to semi. I think it should be dropped to semi since the UK was also ECP protected, but has since been dropped to semi. I think it's worth a try to reduce the protection level here as well.
