How do I lock a page?

If you are the site creator, administrator, or moderator you are able to lock pages. Locking a page prevents non-moderators from making edits to that particular page. Locking a page is useful if the page is subject to repeated offensive or irrelevant edits by non moderators.

  1. To lock a page, select 'Lock page' from the 'More Tools' menu at the top of the page.

    Lock Page option on More Tools menu

    The 'Lock This Page' dialog box will appear as shown here:
    Lock Page dialog
  2. Type in the reason you've decided to lock the page and click on the "Lock Page" button.
  3. You will be asked to confirm that you wish to lock the page. After you've locked the page, only moderators can make edits to it. If you later decide to unlock the page, follow the steps above, but choose "Unlock this page" from the "Manage Page" drop down menu.

    The date and time of the lock and unlock actions, along with the name of moderator responsible, will be listed when you view the page history.
