I added a simple hook to our settings file that prevents deletion of the main page on any Wikimedia wiki. Thankfully, it does not require flooding the database with 3.8 million edits (5000 edits times 763 wikis).
Is there any way to override that? Contact a sysadmin, I guess. There are cases where deleting the main page may be required (not very common cases, but it could happen).
