While this bot is programmed to filter out deleted article protections, it still sometimes can't tell the difference. Do NOT bother removing them, contact ] and report the incident; there may be a permanent solution that will filter out similar entries in the future.


==Script==
Deletion/protection log sychronization can sometimes be off, causing re-protected restored pages to be delisted, even though they were reprotect. Sometimes this corrects itself, but it sometimes will not. Someone may have to add the entry back to ] manually.
