But, you have to ask yourself "Why?". Why have the mainpage unprotected? It is only open for vandalism if you do that. First off, there is no need for an IP to edit the main page - everything we put down is fine, there's no need to add anything else. Second, if they want an example on how to edit, just go and visit any other page.

It's that simple. Furthermore, having the main page unprotected leaves it open to vandals, and if I look in the history, the ratio of vandalism edits to helpful edits is 15 to 0, or in other words, all edits made to the front page by IP's have been vandalism. Thus, what Wikia is saying doesn't make sense.
