Hi R4356th,

While I ''can'' see your rationale for protecting [[Special:AllMessages|interface messages]], as you did with wanting to protect [[MediaWiki:Edittools]] at [[TestWiki:Consuls|Consul]] level of protection in this [[Special:Redirect/logid/14008|log action]], I ''do'' disagree with it, personally and philosophically, as this is, ultimately, a test wiki, with active consuls, bureaucrats, or even administrators, for that matter, ~~where~~ edits are problematic in some way. This is where good [[w:WP:COMMONSENSE|common sense]] comes in terms for test administrators and mostly test bureaucrats. As such, I have [[Special:Redirect/logid/14009|reverted]] this protection for the following reasons, namely that:

This is where good [[w:WP:COMMONSENSE|common sense]] comes in terms for test administrators and mostly test bureaucrats. As such, I have [[Special:Redirect/logid/14009|reverted]] this protection for the following reasons, namely that:

# If you felt protection at <code>[[TestWiki:Consuls|consul]]</code> was warranted, then you should've reached out to any Consul via their locally user talk page, ideally, with your reason(s) why for them to effect. Protecting a page at <code>[[TestWiki:Bureaucrats|bureaucrat]]</code> when you feel <code>consul</code> protection is warranted doesn't make sense, and wouldn't be appropriate; and, perhaps more importantly,

# This is after all a test wiki, so other than some CSS/JS files in MediaWiki namespace, protection isn't needed on most interface messages, as we have active consuls, bureaucrats, or even administrators, for that matter, where edits are problematic in some way.
