Some day we'll need to come up with a comprehensive list of all those
working on CVU / RC patrol and together switch all the policies so
that vandals no longer know the location of AIV :) I remember when
someone put hundreds of instances of the nazi symbol on an article and
it took half an hour till somebody figured out how to use the
index.php?target=...&action=edit format to get rid of it, and after
various accounts vandalised with the same vandalism, yet another
sockpuppet applied for the page to be semi protected and succeeded!

Right, but it doesn't protect against vandals who
registered, didn't edit
for 4 days and the vandalized. If they're vandalizing templates, they're
not just people who come to Wikipedia and say "wow, i can delete this entire
page lol!" - they're vandals who've been doing it for a while and are
familiar with Wikipedia, so they probably know how to get around
semi-protection.

Well, semi protection ensures that good users who aren't yet sysops
can edit a template when they need to. We have a whole lot more than
1000 trusted editors who regularly edit templates.

I personally think that any template transcluded
80-100+ times or
transcluded in 10+ feature articles / wikipedia space pages, or even
transcluded in two policy pages (disclaimers etc.) should be semi
protected, and really widely used templates that are vandalised
despite semi protection should be fully protected.
I agree, if not fully protected at least semi-protected.
