Brion's just enabled a feature of mine called
"Cascading Protection".
Simply put, this automagically applies temporary full protection to any page
included on a page protected or semi-protected with the "cascading bit".
Excellent! Well done.
However, there's been a debate brewing over whether a certain
bot could be given admin status, so that it could explicitly
apply protection to any page included by a given page. I believe
this bot was intended to address the same problem (i.e. main page
vandalism). Presumably that debate can now be called off,
as the bot is no longer needed?
