I'm sad to see that the Main Page has been frozen now for such a long time. That was not meant to be permanent, and I hope we can unfreeze it again soon.
Are you referring to the English Wikipedia Main Page? If so, why would we unprotect that? So immature kids can put goatse on it?
I am at that. Not so that kids can put goatse on it. So that non-admins can refresh the content of In the news, or improve on the wikification of the featured article blurb, or update the list of languages.
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.
We should find ways to distract and ward off immature kids that do not restrict everyone else -- and we will!
Practical suggestions please!
