This is far from the first article to be protected.
Isn't it the first one which is fully protected where admins are
encouraged to edit it? Full protection was around for a long time,
but in the beginning at least admins were discouraged from editing a
protected page.
As David Gerard mentions on ANI, the Flagged Revisions
software upgrade may
render this unnecessary
That'd probably require a Good or Featured version of the article.
, or other policy or operational changes could have
the same effect.
As I noted on ANI - the article is not frozen. Any administrator can still
edit it during the protection.
That's precisely what makes this page protection so different.
Anyway, I don't particularly care about the protection one way or
another. I don't think it's a cause of problems so much as a symptom
of them.
