Frankly, I think it's ridiculous to think that the UK government is going to give judgements against people simply for editing a page in a section completely unrelated to libellous content
I may be confused here, but I was under the impression we were discussing being sued _in a UK court_, not _by the UK government_. Very different things; HMG really doesn't give a damn about us and is very unlikely to unless we do something insanely stupid like publish Vanguard patrol details.
Read what I said again, noting the word "judgements". Judgements are given by courts, and courts are part of the government.
True enough to a point, but now you're questioning the concept of judicial independance. No court wants to be considered a paet of government. Even accepting your premise there can be no judgement unless there is a complaint. I read Andrew's comment as referring to the initial prosecution of a case as being done by private persons.
