I thought only mods were supposed to edit it?

Goddamn it, I will go looking for that thread then...

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?

You're supposed to read edit notices on this site? I thought those were some kind of wishing-well system. ;)

Seriously though, 'dire' is rather excessive - I'm not actually sure what kind of situation that could be (dire situations usually require techs, not mods). I'm going to argue that posting there doesn't hurt anyone, in moderation. I'm not the only person who's done it either, take a gander through the archives.
