Actually,
given that the template was cascade protected by virtue of it
being on the main page, only administrators can edit it. You're not an
administrator on Commons, but you do have a staff flag. Therefore I'd say
that's a staff action.
That said, changed the picture without any discussion, only because some
people don't want to see a half-naked anime girl on Main Page (btw: What is
the problem with that picture? I'm a girl, and i'm not AT ALL offended for
see that in main page) was a act that NO ONE should do without consensus.
Not an adm, not an editor, not a staff.
I'm not going a statement about the appropriateness of the image
(because, in fact, I don't care), but I would like state that there is
nothing wrong with somebody changing content that they feel is
inappropriate. It is a wiki. Any action can be undone, and as a matter
of fact has been undone.It is important to our culture that making
changes, the {{sofixit}}, is promoted.
Be bold, revert, discuss.
The funny thing is though that such a situation probably shows both
the best and the worst of our culture at the same time.
