Hi Nate, We eventually got around to discussing this and ended up protecting edits of that page with a password. In addition, people like Uwe keep an extra eye on that page. It's at least an improvement, as we wish to retain the 'wikiness'. If you see any other pages you think should be protected similarly, please let us know.
