How do I lock a page?

Pages should be locked — which prevents non-moderators from making edits — if the page is subject to repeated offensive or irrelevant edits.
  1. To lock a page, select "Lock this page" from the "Manage Page" menu on the right side of the page. The "Lock This Page" dialog will appear.

  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 click on the "Page History" tab.
