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

Bergen Belsen[edit]

Reason: A redirect which was protected over a decade ago. Is the protection still necessary for the time being?102.156.71.151 (talk) 21:08, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment:: The redirect isn't protected. The target, however, is protected. The last time it was unprotected, it received no edits that weren't vandalism or reversion of vandalism before protection was reinstated. The time before that, it was hit 5 times in two days. Why give them the chance? - Sumanuil. (talk to me) 21:42, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I am requesting a protection removal from the redirect only. I am not requesting an unprotection from the target page. I know what I am requesting. To be clear, I have visited the editing source of this redirect (not target) and noticed that it is limited for autoconfirmed users. Strangely enough, there isn't a clue in the protection log, except that its protection settings got moved from the target article.102.156.71.151 (talk) 21:56, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That is odd. I'm not seeing any current protection in the log, but the message is there. Then again, what reason is there to edit this anyway? To turn it into a disambiguation page? - Sumanuil. (talk to me) 23:17, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Then perhaps considering the redirect a deletion if its existence in WP is worthless?102.156.71.151 (talk)
I'm not saying it's worthless. I'm saying I can't think of a reason to edit it. It's fine the way it is. - Sumanuil. (talk to me) 23:35, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Also, I am just realizing, if the same title with a hyphen instead of a space isn't protected, why this one is? The title with the hyphen received no edits ever since it got converted into a redirect by buidhe back in 2018.102.156.71.151 (talk) 23:54, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's protected because when a page is moved the redirect from the move has the same protection as its target. I see no point in unprotecting, though, so Declined * Pppery * it has begun... 03:06, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

baseball bat, cyanide, ultrasound and Yuri Gagarin[edit]

Those articles have been indefinitely protected by a deceased user over a decade ago. Hopefully those WP:DEers are gone for good, well at least from some of the above pages.102.156.71.151 (talk) 21:56, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

template:dn[edit]

Downgrade from full-protection to template-protection to match the protection settings of its target page.102.156.71.151 (talk) 22:38, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done * Pppery * it has begun... 03:06, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Jacques-Yves Cousteau[edit]

Target page is not protected since 2022 by HJ Mitchell.102.156.71.151 (talk) 00:22, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done * Pppery * it has begun... 03:06, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
