• {{pagelinks|Template:Anonblock hard}}

Reason: Only 12 transclusions. Not used in block summaries, unlike {{tl|anonblock}}. 2A0E:1D47:9085:D200:5AF:9096:9EC1:275E (talk) 16:45, 20 June 2025 (UTC)

{{Comment}} Is there any reason why the average editor would need to edit this? Sumanuil. _{(talk to me)} 05:28, 21 June 2025 (UTC)

: Presumably the IP intends to nominate this and the below for deletion based on their other edits. But that doesn't require an unprotection; they can just request that the TfD tag be added using {{tl|edit template-protected}}. However, what makes you think {{tq|Not used in block summaries, unlike {{tl|anonblock}}}}? Do you have any actual evidence of this, or are you just guessing? * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 05:02, 22 June 2025 (UTC)

::quarry:query/94896 shows that it hasn't been used in block logs. Sdrqaz (talk) 03:49, 25 June 2025 (UTC)

• {{pagelinks|Template:School block hard}}

Reason: Only 7 transclusions. Not used in block summaries, unlike {{tl|school block}} 2A0E:1D47:9085:D200:5AF:9096:9EC1:275E (talk) 16:46, 20 June 2025 (UTC)

:According to quarry:query/94896, there is a single block {{logid|121653231|from 2021}} that did use it, but I'm not sure that that is a good reason for protection if the block has already expired. Sdrqaz (talk) 03:49, 25 June 2025 (UTC)

• {{pagelinks|Malbolge}}

Reason: This was indef-semied via [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Requests_for_page_protection/Increase&diff=prev&oldid=1281630528 this request] by {{u|Daniel Case}} (his talk page is also protected, hence asking here first). This was probably inappropriate; the report said "repeated IP vandalism over the last 6 months", but there were a mere 2 vandalism edits over that time frame, both on the same day by the same IP. I don't see anything here that ever really rose to protection being needed. Thanks in advance. 35.139.154.158 (talk) 12:48, 22 June 2025 (UTC)

:{{ping|Daniel Case}} I'm going to leave this to you. Perhaps indefinite pending changes would be fine, but I would also be fine with leaving it unchanged. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 06:25, 24 June 2025 (UTC)

:That page is already temporarily semi protected, what do you want it decreased to? — xaosflux ^Talk 12:42, 25 June 2025 (UTC)
