We do have
per-page edit restrictions, though. Traditionally, you'd
solve this by creating two pages (one with pros, one with cons), which
you can place different edit restrictions on, and jam them together
using transclusion. But of course that doesn't really allow for cleanly
rebutting points when you can't edit the point itself.
Roan, how specific can per-page edit restrictions be?
All you can really do is say: you must have right X to be able to edit
this page, and you must have right Y to be able to move this page. X and
Y may be the same, and multiple user groups can have the same right.
And could you explain the meaning of your last
sentence.
If you want to enable certain users to rebut points but not edit the
points themselves, you need to put them on different pages (because you
can only restrict editing per-page, not on a more fine-grained basis
such as per-section), which may cause some awkwardness when displaying
the whole thing.
I'm beginning to think that even though debate
topics are more
contentious than the average Wikipedia article, it may indeed be
OK to have totally open editing, relying on the reversion mechanism.
That's the
wiki way, after all.
