The standard rule is that even admins aren't supposed to edit
protected pages. They are meant to stay as they are while people
discuss. I don't see the benefit to full-flagged protection over full
regular protection. It might be useful for things like widely used
templates that aren't protected due to edit wars, but that's about it.
