A rename would do nothing but give it a different name and might throw off the wonks for awhile, but once they figure out the new name rules, they'll be right back to their nonsense.

Locking edits to admins only means full-time maintenance of something we don't have to usually do because we can usually trust people to keep their spaghetti in their pockets, and the wonks aren't above spamming crap and creating their own pages to get around locks.

I agree things should be objective, but this is a classic case of why we can't have nice things because too many wonks want to ruin it, and we would be better served without the hassle.
