Hi. It's actually against Fandom's Terms of Use to protect large numbers of pages on a wiki; wikis need to be open to editing by everyone. Page protection is intended to be used as a temporary protection against persistent and repeated vandalism, or edit warring. The protection you are using would prevent new accounts from editing as well as anonymous users, and that is a fairly frustrating experience for a visitor; no matter what they do they can't edit. And it is very easy to revert isolated vandalism if it does happen.

Please unprotect the pages on this wiki so that it is not violating our Terms of Use.

Having said that, you can turn off anonymous edits in Special:WikiFeatures if you wish; not only is this allowed, but it is much much simpler than protecting each and every page. New users can still edit if they create an account, so it is not completely frustrating. But having to register tends to discourage "drive-by" vandals.
