Give them edit rights and protect non-talk namespaces with
$wgNamespaceProtection with a 'employeedit' right.

That can also be done with a hook in a few lines instead of listing all
namespaces.


You can also allow them to edit all pages, but install FlaggedRevs
so unreviewed edits aren't shown by default.
