Line 82:
Any of the above protections can be requested at [[Wikipedia:Requests for page protection]]. Changes to a protected page should be proposed on the corresponding [[WP:Talk page|talk page]], and then (if necessary) requested by adding an [[WP:ER|edit request]]. From there, if the requested changes are uncontroversial or if there is [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] for them, the changes can be carried out by a user who can edit the page.
{{shortcut|WP:UNPROTPOL}}{{anchor|RemovingProtection}}Except in the case of [[Wikipedia:Office actions|office actions]] (see [[#Office actions|below]]), [[Wikipedia:AC|Arbitration Committee]] remedies, or pages in the MediaWiki namespace (see [[#Permanent protection|below]]), administrators may unprotect a page if the reason for its protection no longer applies, a reasonable period has elapsed, and there is no consensus that continued protection is necessary.
A log of protections and unprotections is available at [[Special:Log/protect]]. === Comparison table ===
