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.
