I just wanted to check, if somewhat belatedly, that this wouldn't be considered an abuse of sysop abilities, if I protect one of my own subpages. Taken strictly, it would break the rules, but I don't think it would break the spirit of them at all.
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.
