well, that's what happens with the smaller partly abandoned wikis. Those are the ones that need to be protected and watched a bit more than wikis that have a community. some of the smaller wikis don't have admins on all the time and that also affects how rollbacks are done. there may be like 4 or 5 people but only like 1 active admin. that doesn't help when the wiki gets attacked by spam, vandals or blanking. there are some wikis where WC are useful and others where they are not and its where they are not that they need to be prevented.

we are not saying that it should be done but wikipedia is a great example of how a good system would work. automatically or new users should have to prove themselves for a set amount of edits before gaining access to all articles.
