This is actually part of wiki housekeeping.

Due to excessive amounts of semi-protected pages that has been protected since 2-5 years ago, I think I should unprotect those pages now. A couple of reasons:


 * 1) Those pages usually have no previous reports of being vandalized before, so it doesn't deserve protection at all.
 * 2) The act of semi-protecting pages indefinitely like this is also unprofessional, since Wikipedia doesn't do this kinda thing. They only semi-protect pages indefinitely after the page has been temporarily semi-protected multiple times before due to vandalism.
 * 3) Protection could make new users confused since they'll be unable to edit the pages until they have 10 edits and 4 days on the wiki. We should keep those incidents as little as possible.

IIRC, there has been a supported vote about making a rule to not protect pages this way, and instead do it the Wikipedia way. I'm not aware if any staff members have followed this rules yet.
