Community and other staff members:

Since I first joined the wiki in November of last year, a recurring complaint from users was protected pages. I observed this pattern, and this pattern caused unnecessary caseload on the sysops and bureaucrats of the wiki. So, my idea for a solution which may help said caseload decrease is this: a new userrights group that would allow certain credible users to edit protected pages so sysops and bureaucrats may put more of their attention to making the wiki run smoothly. Now, I understand there may be controversy with such a proposal, such as "What if the user turns out not to be as credible as they seemed?" or "What if others with such a right to edit protected pages are constantly having to correct spelling, grammar or format?" Well, that is why I would attempt observation before allowing such a thing. While observation may be consuming, I have observed users' grammar and spelling myself, and most actually happen to have decent skills in such. Overall, I feel as though some other members of the wiki should be able to go in to make quick fixes for users, or some other members of staff who may encounter errors in pages. Whether it be false grammar, spelling, or information, it should still always be fixed, and sysops or bureaucrats shouldn't be the only ones making any fixes to ensure the appearance of our community.

I'm open to hearing your arguments or support, and would gladly answer any questions on this topic. I thank you for reading this proposal, and hope you – as a community – choose to evaluate and consider these points.
