Thanks to everyone who helped sort this out.
In some ways, the vandalism neatly demonstrates how Wikimedia projects rely on trust. When these things happen, it is a nice reminder that our open values mean that we should take a light approach to security whenever the potential exposure is always going to be recoverable. Resilience rather than impenetrable, for our community at least, is a healthy way to prioritize. The occasional predictable idiot is no reason to change that approach.
Cheers, Fae
