Requests for page protection

You are currently viewing the requests for decrease in protection level subpage of Wikipedia:Requests for page protection. Before posting a request for unprotection, please discuss it with the protecting administrator first. You can create a request below if you receive no response from them. Instructions To find out which administrator protected the page, go to the page's edit history and click on the "View logs for this page" link (located underneath the page's title). The protecting administrator is listed in the protection log entry, next to the words "protected", "changed protection level", or "configured pending changes". If there are a large number of log entries on the page, use the drop-down menu near the top of the page and select "Protection log" or "Pending changes log" to filter the logs accordingly. DO NOT request a reduction in protection if... ...you are being prevented from editing the page. A desire to change content is not a valid reason for unprotection. Instead: If you can edit the article's talk page, use the Edit Request Wizard to propose a change on the article's talk page. Include an explanation of the exact content that you want to change, and what the content will be afterward. If the article's talk page is also protected and you cannot edit it, you may propose a change at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection/Edit. ...your reasoning for reducing protection is that the article has not been vandalized. That simply means the protection is working as intended. ...your reasoning for reducing protection is basically "a long time has passed" without supporting details. ...you haven't contacted the protecting administrator. ...the current protection is logged as an arbitration enforcement action made within the last year. Such actions may only be appealed to the protecting administrator, at WP:AE, WP:AN, or WP:ARCA. You may request a protection reduction below if... ...you want to change the protection level of a template or module from full protection to template protection. You may add the request to this page without having to discuss it with the protecting administrator first. ...you need to remove creation protection from a location where no page exists (redlinked pages) after a draft version of the intended article is prepared beforehand and ready to be published. ...you are proposing a trial reduction in protection for a page that has been protected for several years, provided the proposal is supported by evidence such as talk page activity, page views, page traffic, number of watchers, frequency of edit requests, and prior history of vandalism. ...the protecting administrator is inactive or has not responded to you in several days. If you cannot locate your request, make sure to check the request archives to see if it's been moved there. Only requests that have been recently answered will still be listed here.

Hagger

• Hagger (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Reason: Like my last request, this is no longer needed as this was mostly used to prevent LTAs to moving the page to Grawp-like titles (e.g. H..A..G..G..E..R..?). This is how Grawp spells Hagrid's name in the Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix film from 2007. Because JarlaxleArtemis is an LTA that is no longer active, I recommend and suggest removing the protection or even a step further to removing the move protection of this page (extended confirmed would be okay for the Hagrid request). — SimpleObjects-9ei 🏖️/☀️/🥵 (see talk) 21:39, 27 July 2026 (UTC)

Playboi Carti

• Playboi Carti (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Reason: The controversy involving him isn't really discussed anymore, he's not as active as he was two years ago, and the amount of unsourced content added has rapidly decreased in the past two years. So why is ECP still needed? MathMan4 (talk) 00:04, 28 July 2026 (UTC)

Rutland

• Rutland (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Reason: Semi-protected for 13 years, with little to no vandalism. Frankster04 (talk) 12:16, 28 July 2026 (UTC)
