Wikia/FANDOM treats itself as an open house to the point where it can be a total disaster. They have made options such as only having registered users be able to edit. I also did get a limited ban on renaming pages from new users.

But I also think (unfortunately) trusting that every person who comes to the wiki is going to do a worthy edit (either by outright vandalism, or just not being able to follow and work well) isn't the best way of maintaining a clean and nonhazardous site. On the occasion that they are helpful with correcting something, but 9 times out of 10, I still find things I have to correct myself anyway.

If there is by chance we could have what GorgonzolaSW was talking about then I'd love that. But then how would you know who to trust? Melvin Doo is susceptible to major vandalism, and when I actually unlocked it for someone who asked, guess what they did? (Keeping it unlocked hasn't helped.) So, maybe if they've been on other wikis where they've already proven themselves then that would be a good way. It's this whole ban evasion that's the problem. Who's to say that they still wouldn't be able to get around it again?
