I recently logged out and looked at the Wiki from an Anon's point of view. The information is fairly similar. But when I look at the Yogscast Members' pages, at least 3/4 of them are locked. Now I understand why it is locked in the first place, perhaps getting overcrowded with vandals?

The thing is this: We are simply locking so many pages that we are greatly minimizing the room for  Anons and even some Users to edit. There are many Anons who behave out there, and it is really not fair on them to give them almost nothing about the Yogscast to edit. They may have some important information to add in that we haven't picked up.

As for the vandals, I suggest this method to combat them: We unlock some pages, and if they do vandalise, catching them is as easy as saying ABC. By doing this, we can block and actually reduce the number of vandals as well as leaving room for the helpful Yognau(gh)ts to edit.

This balances things out and gives us a more to do, which; number 1, will most likely encourage more frequent edits; and number 2, attracts more editors as there is less locked pages.

I suggest unlocking some minor Yogscast members (e.g. Ravs, Kayei, Rick van Laanen) to see how things work out. If it works out fine, we can unlock more, but I do suggest keeping the big Yogscast members such as Lewis and Simon locked. And if it doesn't work, we can always go back.

What does everyone think of my proposal?
