I think most people are a bit excessive here.
LEDE wiki isn't Wikipedia and won't ever get anywhere near the amount of
edits as a generalist wiki.
Having some designated guy that gets an email and then looks at
modifications to make sure it's not garbage is feasible imho, like a
"wiki mantainer", and very important to keep the standards reasonable.
Because ok that OpenWRT wiki is better than nothing, but don't make it
look better than what it is.
I think this project (as OpenWRT before it) needs a decent community
magager(s), someone that does not code but deals with community stuff
like answering people on emails, or in forums or keeping wiki in line.

The English Wikipedia has 1,294 administrators who can delete and protect

28,922,038 users and 5,234,360 articles.
Note that this means there are roughly 4000 articles per admin.
I really do not think approval processes are going to solve more problems than they
cause. As was pointed out, approval processes are largely what sunk Nupedia. Although
calling it "Nupedia" likely didn't help either. :-)
minor details, openwrt wiki still has 0 admins that delete and protect
pages, which is the important part of my mail
