NB: If [[Moderators]] cannot edit this page, post on the [[{{TALKPAGENAME}}|talk page]] instead. I will try to remedy this situation fairly quickly. The problem is that there are two levels of protected pages. There are ones we protect to stop them being broken or vandalised (like {{template|GTA}} or the [[Main Page]] occasionally), and there are ones we protect to stop deliberate abuse (such as [[Staff]]). Of course moderators should have access to the first group, but not the latter. Currently we trust [[Administrators]] with access to all protected pages, but [[Moderators]] are often quite new and only being tried out, so giving them unrestricted access to the entire wiki is a very big step. If we allow moderators to access these, it will make it harder to become a moderator (which I want to be quite easy), or if we don't them I might be tempted to promote people to admin quicker. What do you think?

:Strange, I haven't gotten emails about edits to SN for ages, luckily I just saw it in recent changes. Moderators should ''definetly'' have access to SN, so they do need to be able to edit semi-protected pages. But have you gotten Wikia to change our permissions settings? Because by default all | :Strange, I haven't gotten emails about edits to SN for ages, luckily I just saw it in recent changes. Moderators should ''definetly'' have access to SN, so they do need to be able to edit semi-protected pages. But have you gotten Wikia to change our permissions settings? Because by default most registered users (or more specifically, all 'autoconfirmed users') can edit semi-protected pages, but in our case that's just useless because we don't allow unregistered users to edit anyway, so you're right, it would be best in my opinion to give moderators the ability to edit semi-protected pages and take it away from the 'Users' group.
