Due to some recent some what unstoppable homophobic vandalism. I believe that only registered users should be able to edit on this wiki for three reasons.

1) Say a registered user vandalises pages, it'll be on a users account, you can block them but they'd have to create a new account to do it again. Such as they can't logo onto the computer at work or school to edit (even proper honest edits) when they should be banned.

2) Policies. If an unregistered user goes against a policy, you can't exactly message them on their talk pages to set them straight. They'd probably keep going against it until they are unfortunately banned for simply not being able to see their talk page in the proper way. If they are registered they can see the message and they can set themselves right.

3) Protection - this is all for general protection of the wiki. Remember there is only so many times a revision can be undone before total reorganisation is in order. And to be honest, undoing vanadalism - I mean that's a total waste of good admin's time, good admins like Shambala108 and SOTO.

Of course this is not up to me but if it were I'd certainly agree with myself - genuinely never thought I'd ever say that. Anyway moving on... I just want the wiki to be safe, I mean like the Doctor, the admins aren't always there, and when they're not. That's when the wiki is most vulnerable.

Plus not many people would go to the trouble of setting up an account with their own email to vandalise a Doctor Who wiki. Whereas people can just click edit an they're away destroying the place.

Thanks for reading my somewhat long winded post but I hope this'll be considered.
