This can be addressed by encouraging (requiring?) Admins to log all their 3RR blocks in one place. It could be a section of:

Sounds like [[m:instruction creep]]. Admins don't even bother logging their page protections in practice.
Oh they do, for the most part. That *is* important simply because page protection doesn't automatically expire. Until recently we had some logged protections that went back weeks. Khmer Rouge was protected for 90 days out of 100, probably as part of a deliberate strategic move by some of the editors.
And when I checked further I found some unlogged protections that went out to the middle of August. It isn't good for the wiki to have temporary protection drag on for months.
