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: Move protection was never really needed because there is no history of bad moves. Unprotection is needed because the page should be (uncontroversially) moved to match the sentence case of the other Merseyrail/Merseytravel and also to follow how Transport for London underground and overground lines are named. 10mmsocket (talk) 11:10, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

Unprotection: The amount of IP disruption to this article wasn't very significant when it was protected; the single user on one range was not enough for protection. CutlassCiera 02:00, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
Not unprotected – There was plenty of IP vandalism prior to protection, and I doubt that things will have improved since 2021. Notifying Ohnoitsjamie, the protecting admin, with whom you should have discussed the matter according to the bright yellow message at the top of this section.

- @Favonian: Fair enough, I was using Twinkle and instinctively clicked the affirmative button without reading it (as I am basically desensitized to Twinkle warning buttons) CutlassCiera 13:15, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
- There was a long history of disruption and temporary protections, hence the indefinite semi-protection. OhNoitsJamie Talk 13:46, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
