I edited the following Q/A in the FAQ.

Q:  Why are 'RecentChanges', 'AllRecentChanges', 'RecentUploads',
'AllRecentUploads' editable?

A: There are times when you might want to edit these pages, such as
when a spammer creates a page with an unsavory name.

You can disallow editing of these pages by inserting the following
lines into your local/config.php file:
 
## Disallow editing of RecentChanges and RecentUploads pages.
if ($action=='edit'
  && preg_match('/\\.(All)?Recent(Changes|Uploads)$/', $pagename)) {
  unset($_POST['post']); unset($_POST['postedit']);
}
~~~~

How would someone password-protect the pages, even ones that don't
exist yet, rather than disabling editing them completely.  Or a better
question: How can the answer be improved while remaining concise?

Does this one belong on the FAQ page?
