Right now the MediaWiki namespace is protected from editing. However, if you 
add a template to a Mediawiki message and the template is unprotected, any user 
could edit the message by editing the template, creating a backdoor. There is 
no option to cascade protect MediaWiki messages on wiki, and there is no 
function in the MediaWiki software to cascade protect an entire namespace. 
Should this be fixed?
