Semi-Protection of Main Pages

I've just semi-protected the main pages for those games that weren't already protected. The nonsense bots are back and they seem to like targeting pages like Redguard:Redguard and Lore:Tamriel so it seemed like a sensible change to me - especially as the main pages for some of the games were already SPed. I know it's generally considered a Bad Thing to protect too many pages but I'd say it's a Worse Thing to have some of the site's central pages bearing the marks of vandalism. If we're going to see a big resurgence of the nonsense bots we may need to look at protecting other important pages - at least temporarily. –Rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 10:36, 8 January 2008 (EST)

No complaints here - I personally thought all those pages were already protected, surprised to find that they weren't. (May have just been move-protection.) --TheRealLurlock ^Talk 10:51, 8 January 2008 (EST)

Yeah it was just Move Protection. I was getting fed up of reverting nonsense on those pages, hence the upgrade! –Rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 10:53, 8 January 2008 (EST)

Makes sense to me. Thanks, Rpeh! --Nephele^Talk 00:40, 9 January 2008 (EST)
