I generally agree with ITCO. I don't agree that there's a lot of vandalism. And any time there is vandalism, it's simple to fix. It's not a big deal, and eventually the ideal scenario would be that there's more active administrators here (heck, most of the changes I've been making around here are to prepare for that eventuality). So if there were more active administrators, legitimate vandals&mdash;amongst whom I do not count those who make story edits without permission, because I think those are good faith contributors who just don't know the policy&mdash;would theoretically be blocked sooner.

And to be honest with you, I think you three could easily become admins here some day to help with that. Firedance with a bit more time, SWFanon-specific experience, and patience; and Sakaros and ITCO with more regular activity.

Regarding the purpose of anonymous editors, I don't see it as being a matter of what someone is and is not allowed to edit. It's a matter of creating an experience where anyone can try their hand at editing; there are plenty of people across Wikia who dip their toes into the water by contributing anonymously, and then create an account.

If we were going to take the stance on SWFanon that we don't need anonymous editing because they can't make story edits to other peoples' pages, then we might as well take that to the next logical point and say that no one on SWFanon can edit anything except pages that they themselves create. Which obviously doesn't make any sense either.
