I will be brief for this: BC wikia currently has average of at least 2 to 3 vandalism edits case Which happens almost on everyday basis with only about one or two days off. Most of the vandalism anons have behaviours of: 1. Using dynamic IP address; refer to dispute about banning dynamic IP adress on wikia over other potential innocents 2. Multiple edits on a page; this means undoing must be done on manual and albeit not much but it still do waste your time since it is not four clicks undo.

So my proposal is like this: 1. Globablly banning anon edits on this wiki. Anons still able to post in the forum or talk pages. This one I consider as actually not very good steps however. Check the next one! 2. Pages protect; instead of banning anon edits globally. The wikia can enable page protection, which allows a group of users with special rights to tag a page as "protected" which disables anons or even registered users outside the group, to edit the page. This protection can be applied for example to main pages or cat units pages with complete information. Thus still allowing anons to contribute on stub pages or any other pages which still needs or lacking contents. Of course the tag can also benlifted in case update information needs to be gathered from mass-sources inputs. The problem is would be the complex implementation.

If you have better thoughts, just comment here.

--- For Heliks You really need to promote more peeps with moderator / banning rights and probably one or two with bureaucrat rights, as this wikia grows up, the number of vandalism uptime also grows. Prioritize on getting someone who could active during your off-time or a certain set of period. At least two or more at each period. This will ensure any vandalism will quickly get taken care off asap and also in case you gone suddenly, someone will be ready right away to fill in your position as admin.

Then regarding IP banning, just block page editing. Account creation blocks could lead to problem for potential new user on dynamic IP address.
