that, sysops have no notice they're on a protected page. I don't know if a sysop has ever unwittingly edited a protected page, but it's not hard for me to imagine it happening. Maybe there could be a note at the top for sysops: "This page is protected. If it's been protected because of a controversy, editing it will look unfair to people who are not sysops, and for good reason. Perhaps you should unprotect the page first."
I just want to note that "protecting" a page to deal with edit conflicts is a mediocre solution at best.
This could have been handled so much better.
