Does this mean that if a page receives cascading protection, all templates/images on it will be automatically protected (and will be automatically unprotected when removed from the page with cascading protection)? This would completely eliminate Main Page vandalism. I understand that consensus is against semi-protection of Main Page Featured Articles, but recent statistics have shown that Main Page Featured Articles are in a vandalised state for 6-10% of the 24-hour duration that they are on the Main Page (the actual figures are likely to be higher, as template vandalism and vandalism by registered users was not counted). Hence, we should seriously consider applying cascading semi-protection to Main Page Featured Articles. On 1/14/07, Luna <lunasantin(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Ohh, I just tested this a bit.
