This is a holdover from the old RTE.

The only solution is to insert the magic word     on the page. That way anyone who tries to edit will automatically be kicked into the source mode. This magic word should continue to work … unless one day Wikia disables them.

Users who have Enable visual editor unticked in preferences, will never cause these problems.
