Thank you for that. I'll probably be working a little more with the wiki now. The reason why I hadn't gotten the hint was because I assumed that ordinary users did not have the power to edit such essential pages, and just moved along. But now I know that to be false.
Is there a karma requirement for editing in the wiki, or can a troll come along, make an account, and subtly but profanely edit the front page of LW until someone who cares to read through the intro (probably not many regular readers, and likely an impressionable new reader with no knowledge that it is a wiki page) finally notices and reverts the change?
There is no karma requirement for those pages (karma on the main site isn't integrated into the wiki, and the wiki code doesn't know what your LW karma is).
We think that it's not very obvious that the front page is under wiki control. If we start to get spam on those pages it's easy to "Protect" them, which will make them behave as you expected them to behave (only special wiki users can edit them).
