Could someone technically knowledgeable please investigate as a matter of urgency how anonymous vandal user [[User:82.153.107.78]] managed to edit [[:en:Rangers F.C.]] while it was protected, at 1408 UTC today. This would seem to be a major breach in our security.

from the protection log:
# 14:14, 21 July 2005 Smoddy protected Rangers F.C. (properly vprotect) # 14:14, 21 July 2005 Smoddy unprotected Rangers F.C. (must have checked the box) # 13:34, 21 July 2005 Smoddy protected Rangers F.C. (vandalism)
it's likely that the first protection only protected it against page moves, not edits. it seems to be protected correctly now.

Is it possible having an improved protection log, which records automatically if the box was checked or not?
We had the same problem on it.wiki, few days ago.
Ciao, Frieda
