Line 113: :ProtectionBot would have protected all the templates used on a protected page, since cascading protection did not exist at that time. This proposal is for a bot to add templates used on the Featured Article to an already cascade protected page, so that they also become cascade protected. This is because the featured article is not full protected to permit open editing, and therefore the templates used on it are at a greater risk of abuse than normally permitted. Best way to simplify it: ProtectioBot protected pages, FA Template Protection Bot will only edit a protected page.

ProtectionBot protected every page transcluded on the main page. This bot protects all the templates included on the Featured Article itself.
