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: It has been 11 years since this page was semi protected. The tournament itself held 15 years ago, so I don't think the page will be very popular or vandalized. Also, articles about the next two editions—2014 FIFA World Cup & 2018 FIFA World Cup—are not protected. Therefore, I suggest we cn try to remove the protection and see what happened.

- Seems reasonable to me. Could you try discussion with the protecting admin first? If they decline or take more than a few days to respond, your welcome to ask me to review or re-request here. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 15:26, 29 May 2025 (UTC)
- Hi. The administrator who protected that page has made only a few edits over the past month — all of them related to "cleaning up" their talk page, so I'm not sure if this is a good idea. That's why Im asking here.The Seal F1 (talk) 15:52, 29 May 2025 (UTC)
- It's not uncommon for admins to be inactive for a month but still respondent to pings. I figured we should attempt a ping. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 15:58, 29 May 2025 (UTC)
- Ok. I'll try. The Seal F1 (talk) 16:03, 29 May 2025 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – As a contentious topic this should really be reserved for experienced editors. Moxy🍁 16:54, 31 May 2025 (UTC)
