Sticking with what @RansonTime said, having them open edit sticks with Wikia's philosophy of allowing anyone to edit pages. Even so, it's more respectful if no one but the user edits them. As for message wall greetings, why would a chat moderator need to edit them? That doesn't make any sense to me.

There's not a real need to protect to prevent. The user can easily revert the edit. Depending on the edit and the wiki's policies, that user can be blocked if warranted.

What do you not get about the message wall greeting? You can find message wall greetings using Special:Allpages. If someone hasn't created one, it doesn't exist and must be created. You can't actually view someone else's greeting in this namespace, only the Message Wall, and only Admin and the user can edit them.
