-'''Protected Pages''' are just that: articles which have been protected to stop any editor who is not an [[WiKirby:Administrators|Administrator]] from editing them. This is usually done to prevent vital pages and those with a high risk of being targeted by wiki vandals from being {{UserLang|us=vandalized|gb=vandalised}}. The exact reasoning behind the article in question being locked will be displayed when a user attempts to edit the page, and the article's talk page may provide additional information on the subject.
+'''Protected Pages''' are just that: articles which have been protected to stop any editor who is not an [[WiKirby:Administrators|Administrator]] from editing them. This is usually done to userspace and policy pages; all mainspace articles are unprotected (per a [[WiKirby:Proposals/Archive#Abolish semi-protection for all mainspace pages (November 11th, 2020 - November 25th, 2020)|proposal]] that passed on November 25, 2020).
-If need be, it can be requested on the talk page that the article be unlocked in order to make changes. However, because an administrator can edit protected pages, an administrator may make the change instead of unlocking the page to prevent problems.
