Thread:Project:Support desk/Admin and protections - no final warning


 * Greetings. This came up recently (just now) on en.wikipedia .  It appears that if an administrator starts editing an article, opens the edit window, some second administrator applies full protection, and then the first administrator clicks "save" on the article, that there is no warning on the first administrator's edit that protection was applied while the edit was in progress.  I believe a normal editor gets a denied at that point, but the admins edit just goes through.
 * I believe that this is a bug; the admin should probably see some form of warning and be required to click affirmatively that they still want the edit to take effect, under that circumstance. That should I think only apply if the admin did not get the first, red-edit-window warning (start to edit something already protected) - that should be good enough.  But if the protection was applied after editing started, switch to this "are you really sure?  someone else protected while you are editing..." behavior.
 * Thanks.
