Such a comparison should be possible. We have protection logs, we should be able to go through them and work out how many articles were (semi-)protected at any given time. A graph of that data would reveal any obvious impact of the introduction of semi protection (work out a trend from the data before the introduction and see if the data after it fits it or not). Is there a machine readable version of the protection log anywhere? _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
