Generally, yes, and I saw the fix in the RecentChanges log, but didn't see the defacement, so I don't know what method was used; they might've been able to lock out the template or something, to remove the edit link; in such a case it would require a sysadmin, not just remote web access (which I guess will give a shell on efn anywhoo). Slightly off-topic: was the hacker incident at efn also attracted from irc?
