Anons should not be editing policy. As you point out, it contributes little (nothing that couldn't be done with a throw-away account) and just wastes admin time. And may even lead to the frustration that has been voiced on this list by admins quitting wiki. Utterly pointless.

I see it as pointless too, but sure not as much that someone should construe a wiki-quitting reason out of this.

It's just a waste of time to watch and revert these anon-policy changes. Yet another reason to remove these pages from one's own watchlist (another form of IAR ;-).

It serves more as a honey-pot for vandals, with ensuing potential collateral damage caused by IP blocks.

But it's probably not that important. I was just a bit astonished to see that we we cannot semi-protect the policy about semi-protection ;-)

(and WP:FULL should be fully protected! And WP:CSD should b<BZZZZZT> GAAAAH ow that hurt)

I used to log in to edit the occasional meta-page, thinking I needed a Real Pseudonym to be Taken Seriously. But then I tried it logged out, and found it wasn't true, I don't get reverted (any more than I did before).

I'm actually pretty impressed that this is the case.
