It's not advised to do a lot of page locking, and it should be limited to certain pages (we do policy pages, main pages, etc). It's very common to lock a page to avoid edit wars, for a period of time, but it should likely be done with notification to the community of why. Again, this is something you want to set up within your community, as each has different rules about such things.

I believe an Administrator temporarily locking a page to avoid ongoing edit wars is not a bad thing. An Admin locking a page to ensure only his point of view is seen would be a challenge to the wikia concept. You need to work with your community to garner their inputs, without it becoming a "let's gang up on this guy" situation.

I know the game (Candy Crush) but I don't know your wiki. From what you describe, it could be that you have decided to use very subjective information (i.e. how hard a level is). Perhaps the proposal to the community could be that you agree you will NOT use such language in the encyclopedic content, and stay with the facts of the game. Facts are harder to dispute!

Feel free to come to my primary wiki some time (http://dragonvale.wikia.com/wiki/DragonVale_Wiki) if you would like; we've struggled a lot with similar issues and are working hard to make it more "community oriented". You can see some of our forums, policy proposals, etc.
