Most of these are handled using termplates. We could unprotect
[[Template:In the news]] for example and keep the main page protected.
This would stop the main page being moved but still allow non admins
to make edits. Can templates be moved? it's only page moves that are
too difficult to deal with by reverting.
That's how the situation was, until the goatse vandal struck a month
or so ago. He inserted the image into one of the templates and used
XHTML to force it to display over the whole Main Page. This occurred
during a server slowdown, to boot, so the image was in the Squids for
almost a half-hour before an admin's revert got through. Afterwards,
Raul654 protected all the templates and images linked on the Main
Page.
