It won't need more than 1 or 2 person to edit articles if we are just to put what Kishimoto does explicitly state and nothing more. It would solve a lot of problems and we could permanently put this issue to rest.

And I am fully aware how how trollish this sounds, but I am being completely serious. Why allow editing when at the end of the day, unless it is specifically stated by Kishimoto it has no actual place on the wiki? It would be far easier to have one or two people to make sure the relevant articles are up to date weekly and that be the end of that. This statement seems ignorant to me. And it's ignorant because you don't seem aware of/willing to admit that that's already how the wiki operates. When new information comes out it is consistently the same handful of editors who add that information to the wiki. The other 90% of people on the wiki are far happier to discuss the series and/or complain that those handful of editors aren't doing a good enough job. If these looser standards were adopted, this wouldn't change, other than possibly less complaining.

Does this mean I support restricting the entire wiki to a handful of editors? Absolutely not. Articles can always be improved; this is something IPs were good about. Spelling, grammar, formatting, organization, references. Editing, essentially. This is what the wiki needs. What the wiki does not need - and what I think you're inadvertently suggesting - is being edited constantly. Stability is the sign of a good wiki, not a mark of shame.
