Of course, the ''real'' solution to the problem is a better way of monitoring changes to an article's templates. — '''[[User:Werdna|Werdna]]''' • ''[[User talk:Werdna|talk]]'' 08:54, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
:Huggle now watches templates too, so any sneaky vandals should be reverted quickly (if someone is using Huggle at that time...). Maybe we should make ClueBot watch the templatespace too...[[User:Soxred93|<span style="color:#008000;font-variant:small-caps;font-weight:bold;letter-spacing: 2px;">Soxπed93</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:Soxred93|(blag)]]</sup> 05:36, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
 
I've updated the code so that the bot checks if the template was edited in the last 10 minutes if it was the bot will not protect the template and it will send off an alert in #wikipedia-en-alerts. Now I have two questions:
# How often should the bot run (every 5 minutes...)?
# What should it be renamed to (I was thinking along the lines of "FA Protection Bot" or something like that) --[[User_talk:Chris G|<b><font style="color:Red;">Chris</font></b>]] 10:38, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
