Is this because you checked the "protect this page only against moves" box?

Can you confirm that you have *not* checked this box?

I am rather sure that I did not check that box.

I just did a protection as a test, and it seems to work fine. As non-logged-in in another
browser I can't edit the page and am presented with the view source display.

Here's the record for the page you cited above:

       page_id: 780946
page_namespace: 2
    page_title: 195.93.60.103

page_restrictions: move=sysop

page_counter: 0

page_is_redirect: 0

 page_is_new: 1
 page_random: 0.521755728972
page_touched: 20050703090641
 page_latest: 7396026
    page_len: 32

It's marked as protected against moves only. I'm _pretty sure_ that this is just a matter of
people being used to checking a confirmation checkbox that is no longer present, and now
checking the 'protect against moves only' box instead.

I'll see about redesigning the form; it's pretty cruddy the way it is.

For now, can you try unprotecting the page and reprotecting it, carefully watching the
procedure you follow?

It really sounds feasible that I checked the box mechanically without percipience.

I made some further tests and was not able to reproduce any misfunction I will
watch that and reopen this bug, if I see that the problem really exists, but
currently I believe you should close it (or make it "enhancement").
