[WikiEN-l] Editing Protected Pages

Sat Nov 8 01:17:51 UTC 2003

There's no rule against a sysop editing a 
protected page - provided they do so in a 
way that others can easily see that they're 
not trying to take advantage of their status.

For example, I protected [[Silesia]] (twice, 
actually) because Wik and Nico and all them 
were at each other's throats and reverting 
like crazy. I've made several edits since 
then, without a single complaint about 
"abusing sysop status". In fact, when I 
unprotected the page most of the contributors 
begged me to re-protect it.

We're not making much progress there these 
days, but there's hardly any bickering going 
on there either.
