I would recommend protection or semi-protection at this point, but with the idea that even if protected admins are (as compared to normal protection) actually encouraged to come help with the article.
Admins have rather a lot of other things to do. Admin only editing of articles does not strike me as a good idea. In theory at least when it comes to editing we are all equal.
Jimbo said protection *or semi-protection*. Perhaps more OFFICE articles should be semi-protected, rather than protected.
Probably, although the cases vary widely and assuming good faith of Danny and Brad seems to be in our best interest overall.
Especially not when [[WP:OFFICE]] says:
"The following pages are currently under full Office protection and full page protection and must not be edited by anyone not explicitly authorised to do so."
From following this thread, I think what that means is the article
should be edited on a temporary subpage and then get explicit authorisation to move the subpage to the main page. If that's what's intended, it should be made clearer.
Given that we have seen that things tend to end up under office protection for rather longer than we would like, I think we should try to come up with gradations, at a minimum.
