Wikipedia:Requests for page protection/Decrease
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.

Reason: A permanent extended-confirmed protection is complete overkill, autoconfirmed should be enough, this article barely gets edited anymore--FMSky (talk) 04:32, 9 November 2024 (UTC)
Note: It's not overkill if the disruption was coming from auto-confirmed accounts, which it was in this case per the protection log.-- Ponyobons mots 18:14, 9 November 2024 (UTC)
Not unprotected. The current protection level seems reasonable and appropriate. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 00:40, 10 November 2024 (UTC)
Reason: The page has multiple errors that are not being updated despite users' intimations on the talk page. It's been under extended protection for a long time despite not being a high-risk template. Almost all cities' pages are only semi-protected so decreasing the protection should be considered.

- Not unprotected. @Wallflower2048: Hi Wallflower2048. Thanks for making a request. You need to ask El C on their user talk page since they protected the article (see WP:UNPROTPOL for more information). If El C does not reply then you can make a new request. Regards.

- That page has seen unrelenting spam and been semiprotected 15 times prior, but even that wasn't enough. Still, I'm willing to downgrade to test the waters, even though my confidence of it being enough is low. But that was 2019, so sure why not.
Done. El_C 00:58, 10 November 2024 (UTC)
