We should already have it protected so that only autoconfirmed users can edit (email verified or >24 hours old, I believe), and we have abuse filters in place that catch most vandalism. We try to not protect pages to admin-only, because it doesn't promote the open-naturedness of a wiki project.

In the grand scheme of things, there isn't a ton of vandalism. Most of the admins are pretty active so that most vandalism is caught within a few hours. We also have an abuse filter in place that catches a lot of potential vandalism (it gets diffcult when people try to dance around the filter, but we can't block every single word that might be used when vandalizing because they're often used in good-faith edits also)
