Admin Forum:Temporarily lock from all editing.

As stated before, I'm the only active admin at the Mountain Dew Wiki and one of the only few active members. This Wiki has potential, and is in serious need of an overhaul. Every page, the theme, and countless other things need my attention, and I can't concentrate on fixing everything with other users editing them.

Is there a way for me to put a lock on every single page at once, so tha only me and the other admin can edit them? Trainmaster718 18:49, December 9, 2011 (UTC)


 * Such a feature exists, however it's restricted to staff and VSTF use, and is only used in cases of extreme vandalism. You may simply need more admins to help you patrol RecentChanges and improve content at the same time. If there's anyone else on the wiki you'd trust with admin rights, I would promote them.


 * Other users editing (and not necessarily the way you want) is part of the nature of collaborative projects such as a wiki. ;) What would work better than a theoretical lock of every single page is writing up a list of things that need to be overhauled on the wiki and posting it somewhere so that the other members can see the direction you want to take. If it makes sense to them, they'd probably help you out with your vision anyway. The 888th Avatar   (talk)  04:19, December 10, 2011 (UTC)
