Hi all,
Brion's just enabled a feature of mine called "Cascading Protection". Simply put, this automagically applies temporary full protection to any page included on a page protected or semi-protected with the "cascading bit". Brion has so far protected the Main Page of en.wikipedia with this feature, which should eliminate main-page vandalism, except of images on commons; which could be uploaded by a bot, protected manually, or protected on commons. I would also strongly recommend protecting Main Page/Tomorrow, or equivalent on other projects, but I lack the sysop bit to do it myself. Any sysop is free to activate or deactivate this on a page that appears to require it; within whatever decision-making processes exist on the target wikis.
Please note that the edit and move tabs will appear as normal to save performance, however a warning indicating where the cascading protection comes from will appear when sysops try to edit, and an error will appear when regular users try to edit these pages.
Take care,
Andrew Garrett
