Campaigning is integral to voting. Policy-making that tries to prevent
campaigning whilst accepting voting is doomed to failure (*). Minimizing the

editors a whole load more to do in the Wikipedia namespace without 
having to do awkward hard work like looking up stuff to contribute 
to the encyclopedia :)
