News Category on Main Page

As Sigil has pointed out, the News category is showing up on the main page. I guess I've never really given that much thought, but since it appears that all of the news articles all the way back to October 2005 are categorized without noinclude tags, so I guess it's always been like this. Seems this would be a good thing to send a bot after. --Eabrace Healthbar notify phone.png 00:10, 2 December 2011 (UTC)

Fixed! No bot was necessary, DPL saves the day once again. -- Sekoia 01:36, 2 December 2011 (UTC)

Idle Pondering

I was just idly wondering if maybe the News page should also be protected? Since it is a prominent feature of the main page, it could prove to be a good source of vandalism. I suppose, there probably isn't a reason to do this since it hasn't been an issue, but the Main Page itself is protected even though there hasn't been much in the way of vandalism to that in my recollection. Again, just idle pondering, more to explore our policy on the issue then to push for an application here. OH! And if News was protected would that have any impact on the sub-pages?
