Couldn't you do what Danny does for WP:OFFICE
actions, i.e. have a 'this
is me just editing' account and a 'this is me as a policy-creating
godking' account? And then anyone who tries to use your ordinary edits
to beat innocents with can just be laughed at.
You haven't experienced the amazing feats of Jimbomancy some
wikilawyers and obsessives will stretch to. "This edit is ABSOLUTELY
IMPERATIVE because Jimbo suggested on a mailing list in 1989 that
something like it would be a good idea."
