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.

Unprotection: The protection was transfered. (CC) Tbhotch™ 18:08, 6 May 2025 (UTC)
Comment:: The fact that this article started as a hijacked redirect to Pashtuns doesn't indicate that that would be a good idea. Sumanuil. (talk to me) 05:41, 7 May 2025 (UTC)
Reason: It's very recently been gaining a lot of news coverage, especially after India's retaliation. With more editors available, especially ones who have created accounts just to add an insight to this page, it could quickly fill up with lots of valuable and organized information like a high-quality encyclopedia page. I myself have a lot to add to this, especially since I have contacts closely related to this attack and ones like it. Mm16767 (talk) 04:11, 7 May 2025 (UTC)
- Automated comment: A request for protection/unprotection for one or more pages in this request was recently made, and was denied at some point within the last 8 days.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 04:21, 7 May 2025 (UTC)
Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – I am requesting that the protection level be lowered to semi-protection because reasonably qualified editors are getting shut out of the page. Our problems are mainly with the Ahir social group editors, who normally don't reach the semi-confirmed stage. Kautilya3 (talk) 05:25, 7 May 2025 (UTC)
