The modern concept of protection was first invented in June 2002. Any protections between then and November 2003 were not automatically logged, although some traces of them survived in the history of WP:Lists of protected pages; UseModWiki (used from January 2001 to January 2002) had a separately implemented page protection concept. As of the final UseModWiki dump, the following pages were protected by that concept:

HomePage, since October 23, 2001.
"Jimbo Wales", since October 23, 2001
This referred to the page now at nost:Jimbo Wales, not the modern article.
