As for the DO NOT EDIT template, I'm not so sure. It seems like the only way to prevent a vandal from messing up the artical. I've actually had a roleplay that was trolled by a 'wiki contributer' (I'm assuming 'troll' means to leave hurtful, inappropriate, or useless comments on someone's artical.). Is there a way to protect the pages from wiki contributers without blocking out other members? To answer this:

1: The DO NOT EDIT template doesn't prevent ANYTHING whatsoever. Spammers and vandals will still edit the article regardless.

2: No, unfortunately there isn't a way to do that.

I can understand everyone's confusion on this, but the template is simply something that people use to say that they don't want other people editing their characters. Obeying it is simply an act of courtesy. There are no actual policies/rules regarding those templates either.
