I agree! We have helped people set up sites and they love wordpress because they can update the content themselves. But this also has its downsides because of a) lack of consistent application of editorial rules b) unchecked content being added to pages (typos, errors and so on) c) random formatting changes applied to pages.
Ideally we need users to be able to edit, but then we, as administrators, check, amend and publish the content. Yes we can do this in posts, but many people are using pages to build the body of their site.
Simply allowing permissions to be set to “edit only” and “publish” would make a huge difference.
