Hi. I see that this wiki was recently added to the spotlight and that you were hoping the spotlight would attract more editors to help out. I hope I'm not being intrusive, but can I suggest that you don't protect every single article, category and template? While security is good, this could be making it difficult for new editors to contribute.

You're only allowing autoconfirmed users to edit articles. To be autoconfirmed, your account most be a few days old and have made a few edits. I'm not sure of the exact criteria. With all the articles autoconfirmed-only protected, it's difficult to make edits, even after creating a new account, unless you've already been editing another wiki.

It is possible for Wikia to automatically apply registered-user-only protection to all pages. That way users would be able to edit after creating an account, without waiting and few days and somehow making the necessary edits to become autoconfirmed. I wouldn't recommend it though and it's usually only enabled on wikis, whose primary demographic is children under 13.

Templates and categories being locked to admin-only makes it difficult for users wishing to contribute to technical areas, to help out, even if they have become autoconfirmed elsewhere.

Thanks.
