I've seen protection for high-profile templates like this mentioned
before, but never implemented; after I mentioned these attacks on
WP:AN, someone protected all three. Is anyone capable of coming up
with a list of all individual templates transcluded on, say, more than
a couple of hundred pages? Even if we don't *protect* these (I
strongly suggest we do - they mostly shouldn't be edited without a
good reason, much like the MediaWiki messages), having a few dozen
admins watchlisting them would be helpful.
See [[WP:HRT]] (1). I put together some stats on high volume templates
when I first drafted that page (2), but they're wildly out of date by
now. Hopefully when the toolserver is working properly again for en,
we'll be able to update those statistics.
