 * 1) It's been months if I ever had to secured an page with the reason it was vandalised. If an page was secured their was an valid reason (example: new dragon pages, vandalisme attacks). An lot of existing pages are still secured from vandalisme back in the old days. See Special:ProtectedPages. Now the vandalisme is stable I believe an lot of pages can be put open again. I believe we ever discussed an policy for securing pages but it was never created. Did you known the homepage was open for all users during the first year. Finaly we decide to lock it because heavy vandalisme destroyed some important poll data.
 * 2) Most Database template are secured with the reason that it was intented that way. The purpose with database templates was that the data remained secured and locking is the only way to secure this.
 * 3) Heavy Traffic template like the I template are secured for similar reason. An vandalisme can break more than 500 pages. So it's an valid reason to secure it.

Overal vandalisme on templates is dificult to track down. That's why like on most wikia's templates are locked on default.

We could breng the securing pages policy back under discussion. The unsecuring of pages was already planned with the next pannel cleanup. Even with all this automatisation the editing never stops. Their will always be projects that need to be done.

Computer language is indeed math based: 101010101010101010101. That what an pc actualy does.
