I have to disagree with you here. Wikipedia is famous as the Encyclopedia "anyone can edit". If a random anon sees a page and tries to edit it, and cannot (while the main page still proclaims how everyone can edit), they are going to be dreadfully confused- lord knows enough are confused by the basic idea without adding on a second level of possible confusion. Perhaps two templates: the scary one for temporary semiprotection, and another, more discreet one for the more permanent ones?
I, among others, have tried that on [[George W. Bush]], but it wasn't successful then. Things can change, however.
