If only admins had editing privileges, it would be harder to actually find admins. One of the ways that potential admins are identified is through their contributions, which show their familiarity with the focus of the wiki and with wiki editing. With only admins able to edit, it would be necessary to find admins on non-Fandom sites.

If you're having trouble with pages being vandalised, you could protect pages that have a high chance of being vandalised. Protection limits the types of users who can edit a page, with the highest level limiting it to admins and content mods.
