The administrator of a wiki can choose to lock some pages, which allows
|
||
|
|
only the admin to edit them using the online interface. This doesn't
|
||
|
|
prevent anyone who can commit to the underlying revision control system
|
||
|
|
from editing the pages, however.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To lock a page, log into the wiki as whatever user is configured as the
|
||
|
|
admin, and in your Preferences page, you'll find a field listing locked
|
||
|
|
pages. This is a [[PageSpec]], so you have a fair bit of control over what
|
||
|
|
kinds of pages to lock. For example, you could choose to lock all pages
|
||
|
|
created before 2006, or all pages that are linked to from the page named
|
||
|
|
"locked". More usually though, you'll just list some names of pages to lock.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
One handy thing to do if you're using ikiwiki for your blog is to lock
|
||
|
|
"* and !*/Discussion". This prevents others from adding to or modifying
|
||
|
|
posts in your blog, while still letting them comment via the Discussion
|
||
|
|
pages.
