I am not sure it is a good idea, at least on English Wikiquote Main
Page is not his or her main target, in average other pages like VP or
VfD are more frequently suffered from my observation.

As for English Wikipedia MP, for tentative solution I recommand you to
protect  those templates and to create a "recommendation page from the
community".

It seems to me overreaction and not efficient; perhaps the majority of
edits on MP or its subsidiary templates will be legitimate, and those
[basically irrelevant] info intervene the conversation on the channel.
I suppose "combined active RC" (like combination of EN WP + EN WB
...for example) would be helpful [smiling innocently].- or special rc
channel reviewing a few pages on some major projects.

Just a thought.
