From #wikimedia-tech [03:29:46 PM] <legoktm> i just semi-protected a page [03:29:57 PM] <legoktm> I *did not* touch any of the feedback settings [03:29:58 PM] <legoktm> but [03:29:59 PM] <legoktm> (del/undel) 22:28, 28 August 2013 Legoktm (talk | contribs | block) changed visibility of the article feedback tool on "Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood" [articlefeedbackv5=aft-noone] (indefinite) (Persistent sock puppetry) (hist) Looking through https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&offset=&limit=500&type=articlefeedbackv5&user=&page=&tagfilter= I can tell that many of these are unintentional and just a side effect of protecting. I even saw: 19:27, 28 August 2013 Mjroots (talk | contribs | block) changed visibility of the article feedback tool on "Palma de Mallorca Airport" [articlefeedbackv5=aft-noone] (indefinite) (Page has been moved twice in three weeks. IMO a proposed move should now be done via WP:RM) (hist) 19:36, 28 August 2013 Mjroots (talk | contribs | block) changed visibility of the article feedback tool on "Palma de Mallorca Airport" [articlefeedbackv5=aft-reader] (indefinite) (no intention to change AFT) (hist)
Using page protection infrastructure as a means of tracking pages that have AFTv5 enabled has... side effects. :-)
Change 81950 had a related patch set uploaded by Matthias Mullie: (bug 53506) Protection disables feedback even if nothing is touched https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/81950
Change 81950 merged by EBernhardson (WMF): (bug 53506) Protection disables feedback even if nothing is touched https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/81950
Should this bug be closed as the patch has been merged?
