Hi all.

I understand the Engineering folks used superprotect instead of /undoing/ the 
edit and adding 'This is a WMF action.' in edit summary. Could I please be 
enlightened on the reasoning behind that?

I suppose people could go and try editing other JS pages and cause havoc, but 
that's still possible where superprotect only affects a single page and not a 
namespace. Or can entire namespaces be protected and this new user right was 
intended to be able to prevent that easily?

Svetlana.
