Well if you've got the patience, you could go through the recent changes,
isolate it to the template namespace, and look for recent reverts and
protections. But tracking it down the day after it's happened strikes as a bit
like locking the stable door after the horse has bolted.

Subject: Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Main page seen by library users - where is
Wikipedia?
All I know is that it's from the 188. range, which is used by a few people with
a grudge against Wikipedia. I really need to know what template was vandalised
to be able to give the checkusers the info they need to track it all down.
