I agree with both points made here: pro-freedom to edit for everyone and there being no point on this sort of wiki to allow anon users to edit since they are so limited as it is. However, I have to side with Brandon. It is better to be all-inclusive rather than exclusive of a demographic of editors. Sure they can vandalize and make edits we don't for all intents and purposes allow, but they may also do the implausible and make constructive grammar edits and formatting. I think we just have to deal with the negative when we see it and give everyone freedom to edit. If they are particularly problematic we can just temp ban that IP or give warnings.

SWFanon isn't Wookieepedia, it doesn't see hundreds or thousands of edits a day by dozens of users where vandalism COULD run rampant or bad faith (or good faith) edits to articles can happen frequently. We have enough RC patrollers and wiki activity patrollers around here we can catch the vast majority and reverse the damage and it isn't overwhelming to the user base to do.

I don't see the need for allowing anons to edit BUT I don't see the necessity to change the site's years old policy given this site has vastly improved to decent respectability on this front. 'Sides this place is based in MURICA! Freedom to edit for all!!!! My 1.5 cents.
