I understand that, but the FANDOM/Wikia staff doing it... I couldn't see a difference in protecting articles from us anons (the ones with the IP addresses) who want to use it.

Another way of addressing the situation is to contact the wiki admins, but means running the risk of creating an account (again). Are there any other ways than just creating accounts/logging in, or that you 'roam' around as you feel like it's ok? Usually, this is enforced by staff on wikis that are geared towards children. By restricting anons from contributing to such wikis, they are effectively preventing children from contributing; anyone that is old enough to have an account on FANDOM can make one and contribute. It may sound excessive and arbitrary, but that is the reasoning behind it.
