I won't welcome edit restrictions like that. We are currently focusing
in opening up the wiki a bit, so this would be a step back in my pov.

But back to the original topic.

As I have mentioned in another thread a while ago, it should be easy
to just add a 'Original Author' and 'Last Editor' notes so anyone who
is willed to contribute could just get in contact with him/her. You
can already read the page changelogs, of course.

Best Regards
Marcus
