I thought only mods were supposed to edit it?
Ok, doesn't seem to have been much of a thread, exactly - I seem to have misremembered. Blue originally unprotected the page on 9 November, commenting "Good point, WfG. I don't think this is necessary either." The closest thing I can find to said 'point' is this thread, where WfG says "i don't think this is a mod only issue (I'm not sure what is a mod issue, actually - i had thought they just enforced Mob issues)."
So the question of whether non-mods can comment is up in the air (I've seen no comittee minutes devoted to it), but completely excluding them - except in emergencies - would be pretty silly.
Did you see the edit notice? "Note: If you are not a moderator, please refrain from editing this page unless your need is dire. The talk page is the dedicated location if you need to bring a matter to the moderators' attention or comment on this page." Was your need dire when you edited it?
