i think we will normally get traffic from relative newcomers to the internet who may not know the rule: we do not feed the trolls.

so either - 1 - someone takes the matter in hand and very actively edits important pages, like fusion where we rely upon reports for statistical purposes, so that there is nothing to feed or - 2 - someone posts a reminder in comments or at the top of such pages and hopes that this will reduce the admin workload to manage the problem. this seems like a decision for admin level to me but they could chose to poll members in some way, or watch for any tide of responses...per Wie

my preference is that important pages be protected in any event but trolls love a challenge and cannot be prevented at all levels, especially from comments on sites like this. this is simply one price of wiki success; the creators of such pages should take a measure of pride that trolls have bothered more often than in the past.
