Yes, pages can be protected so only admins can edit them. I don't especially love the idea of having to do that for a whole bunch of pages, though, particularly in cases where the actual author might still be active.

Also, you can always look at a page's edit history to see who has contributed what. It's very transparent. It wouldn't be hard to spot a troll or a community collab, so I disagree that that poses a problem. Plus, if a wiki has decided to act as a public fanfic hosting site for some reason, then I don't personally see any reason we should treat it differently from any other public fanfic hosting site. *shrug*

But I still don't think it's a good idea for us to do that.
