I've just gone and removed semi-protections from
about a dozen user
talk pages. All of them were targets of vandalism in the past,
generally due to their own anti-vandalism efforts. The pages included
pages of administrators.
For obvious reasons, anyone who is warning and blocking new users in
turn needs to be able to be contacted by these users with questions,
concerns, etc. Semi-protection must not be used in this fashion, and
I've removed the line supporting it from the semi-protection policy.
I like Ryulong's solution: He is a prolific vandal-fighter whose talk
page is sprotected (so discussion with logged in users is not
disrupted by frequent vandalism) but he has an extra talk page at
[[User talk:Ryulong/Unprotected]] that IPs can use. This eliminates
most vandalism from his ordinary talk page but still allows
communication from anyone.
