--- Comment #8 from Jeff G. <[email protected]> 2011-02-12 04:58:34 UTC --- (In reply to comment #7) > *** Bug 27335 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I added the following text to bug 27335 relevant to this bug: > Summary: Implement technical measures to prevent image vandalism on English > Wikipedia Main Page > URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page > The problems are highlighted on http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Administrators/Requests/%CE%94 . Solutions could include: cross-platform cascade protection; technical measures to prevent commits of edits to that page if any of the included images are not protected with edit=sysop and move=sysop or are not on English Wikipedia; technical measures to prevent display of any of the included images which are not protected with edit=sysop and move=sysop or are not on English Wikipedia; creation of a new right to edit that page; etc. > Currently, the only vandalism by non-admins that can happen there (the English Wikipedia Main Page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page ) is through images ... An unprotected image from Commons is used: a vandal uploads a replacement image on Commons. ... that page "has been viewed 167010381 times in the last 30 days." (an average of over 5.5 million hits per day) per http://stats.grok.se/en/latest/Main_Page . Another suggested solution on that request page is creating a new user group "Protectors" on Commons with right "Change protection levels and edit protected pages (protect)" to allow a non-admin bot (or one or more humans in case of bot failure) to apply the protection on Commons. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
