As bureaucrats, we can only lock down the entire site for a maximum of 12 hours at a time, unless we go through and manually lock every page. I'm sure we could rig the abuse filter to block all edits not made by sysops, but that would completely invalidate the purpose of a wiki, which thrives on constant anonymous additions. While I strongly detest combing through and cleaning up poor edits made by the misguided and naive, they have a right to edit just as much as everyone else. Additionally, with the expansive influx of content ESO brings to the table, we will have no choice but to rely on the contributions of new editors who may have never contributed to a wiki-style encyclopedia prior. If we bar them, we risk alienated potentially long-term and frequent editors, as well as having our content fall behind our competitors. UESP locked down a majority of their Skyrim pages when it released, and it took them months, maybe even the better part of a year, to bring expand their content.

TL;DR - I strongly abhor this idea.
