There are already several mandatory functions that we must abide by, but not allowing our communities to edit in the preference they desire is a bit harsh. I think your logic actually supports Wikia's policy -- Hunterj's request is, in fact, to make something (source mode) mandatory. Having both editing options available allows users to edit in the preference they desire.
