It seems like a very minor issue to me, but I'm curious as to why you
want to do it. Is there a problem with someone trying to vandalize
the page or something? If not, the wiki way is to just relax and
trust people not to screw with your page. :-)
Also, while I'm at it, I wasn't sure about an
edit I did earlier on
[[Johnny Rebel]] while it was protected. It was just a simple typo
correction, "Moustrap" -> "Mousetrap". Is that kind of
controversy-free
thing OK while it's protected, or should it be completely avoided to
prevent even the appearance of possible abuse? I just can't stand seeing
misspellings left alone, though. :(
I have no strong opinion about this. The pro's and con's a pretty
obvious, and you've spelled them out pretty well.
