It looks like your homepage just got overwritten. You might want to apply clue-by-4 to someone's head and restrict write access a bit more...
Or I could wait until someone restores it back to normal. That vandalism apparently lasted 19 minutes. Not bad. Restricting access is very much against the wiki way.

This is the wikipedia equivalent of allowing the en.wikipedia front page to be world-anon-editable.
We all know how long *that* would last as an experiment...
That large parts of it should be editable doesn't mean that all of it should be all the time to just anyone...

Aren't the main pages of most WIkipedia's editable? Or are you making some distinction between "editable" and "writable"?

Most wikis are editable; that's how they work. This is normal and not something to be surprised about.
The Creole site is not targeted at the general public and has none of the sorts of concerns that Wikipedia has about "omfg little old ladies might see a penis on the main page for 30 seconds".
If you want to debate WhyWikiWorks anyway, that's fine, but I would ask you to do it somewhere other than on our developer mailing list.
