Wikipedia:Requests for page protection/Decrease

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – IP editors kept on adding Trump "Declare that all Americans are now legally female. Cassiopeia talk 02:23, 26 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Cassiopeia: I believe you want the talk page semi-protected (the article is already indefinitely semi-protected). I'll leave that for other opinions but a quick look makes me think there is not enough disruptive activity to warrant that? The meme is silly and if it really is added frequently, semi would be justified but it currently appears to be just a couple of IPs commenting reasonably (well it would be reasonable if the meme weren't silly).

Reason: The page was deleted for inactivity but is now active and we would like to make it undeleted. Girls Town Jerusalem (talk) 08:52, 26 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Girls Town Jerusalem: You're in the wrong location. Try WP:Requests for undeletion - but I note that you will likely be blocked for username if you do. We do not allow usernames that imply shared or official use. In addition, if you are working for Girls Town Jerusalem, you are obligated to disclose that relationship per the Terms of Use. Finally, I have a feeling you wouldn't be able to edit this article or draft in the first place anyway. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 18:28, 26 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
