This was the reason why I was surprised yesterday, that it could be edited by someone without an account. On /enwiki /I know many templates which are fully protected. This is why I expected that our documentation and developer MediaWiki wiki also protects Template pages. This was apparently not the case. Regarding the Template:Repost page: I deleted that specific page. it is not used any more, because the Extension:RSS only since a while templates from the (system messages) MediaWiki:namespace, which is protected by default. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
