Something that's been an issue here for some time now is the massive amount of protected articles on the Wiki, that even though Jimeee (who constantly protected pages on here) is no longer an Admin, the pages are still protected. Personally, I do not think this a good way to run this Wiki:

Wikis are supposed to be community projects where everyone can edit, as many have pointed out this is the very mentality of Wikis, yet how can we have this philosophy when so many pages are protected for only Sysops? As another user said, this site would become a playground for those with special rights, and not for the community. Say someone has good information they want to add to a page it can't be added to something because only Sysops can make changes, I get you could technically ask Sysops to add it, but if you need a middle man just to edit a simple page, it really says alot about this site.

Considerable amounts of locked articles also contain errors in them:

Ulfric Stormcloak for a long time had incorrect information that couldn't be fixed.

Serana still has a ton of speculation on it

As just two examples of this. If we really want to to stop vandalism, we can simply protect a page to a only accounts can edit since most Vandals usually don't have one, Sysop only is only for Site Pages or Featured Articles, not for every single page that gets some high editing. In addition, we really don't need more than maybe one to two featued pages, yet from what I've heard we have a ton of them on the Wiki, most got notable problems with them, protecting all these pages does nothing positive for the Wiki.
