I would say now we are reaching over 1,000 articles and growing IP-protection would be a good idea: either Secret or Deathwalker would have to write to Wikia however as I did this for Villains (like you said) due to an overload of trolls.. here we have a slightly different reason and the founder(s) would hold more weight in explaining why they would want auto-protection.
