And page protection should just about never be used. It's much healthier to just ignore the page for a while.
And what of the people who come to the 'pedia while it's being ignored?
Perhaps there should be a new option to allow sysops to place a block of protected text at the top of a page. A nice way would be for text above a certain identifier (eg, "<<<<") to only be editable by sysops. This would allow a lighter touch than protecting a page while still indicating that the contents might need some salt added.
