Wikia's intention for the lock (protect) function is to stop vandalising. Wikia portrays itself as group participation as shown with its Wikis that need editors page. But some wikians seem to treat wikias as their own private property that no wikians are allowed to contribute. 
 * 1) On an active football club main page, it is showing the current season as 2011/2012. I would like to correct it but they have locked the page.
 * 2) On another wikia, there is a coding error so "}" appears on the main page spoiling the presentation. I would like to edit but they have locked the page.
 * 3) On a new wikia, the founder asked for help with creating a template. After creating it and changing the colour to match the wikia, him/her quickly locked the wikia stopping further help.
 * 4) A wikian had asked to adopt a wikia.To help him/her get started, I added a photo index on the home page. I have just visited the wikia and now that he/her has admin rights has locked the wikia.
