The thing is, no other user has that ability, and their pages seem to be coping fine. If it is protected, it shouldn't be a sysop only protection. If you're that paranoid about trolls, it's not hard to block it for new and unregistered users. The point is, there are other users on this wiki who probably can't edit half of the pages on this wiki because they have sysop only protection. It is completely unneccessary and if you read this page you would have seen this.

"Administrators should not use their administrator powers to settle editing disputes; for example, to lock a page on a version he or she prefers in an editing dispute that isn't vandalism. Administrator powers should be used to help keep the wiki clear of vandalism, spam, and users who make malicious edits, but not for simple disagreements between users acting in good faith. Ideally an admin shouldn't be considered "in charge". The ideal admin is just someone who is trusted to have a few extra buttons and to use them for the benefit of the Wikia community."
