-This plugin enables [[page_locking]]. It is enabled by default.
+This plugin allows the administrator of a wiki to lock some pages, limiting
+who can 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. (Unless you set up [[tips/untrusted_git_push]].)
+
+The `locked_pages` setting configures what pages are locked. It is a
+[[ikiwiki/PageSpec]], so you have lots of control over what kind 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.
+
+If you want to lock down a blog so only you can post to it, you can just
+lock "*", and enable the [[opendiscussion]] plugin, so readers can still post
+[[comments]].
+
+Wiki administrators can always edit locked pages. The [[ikiwiki/PageSpec]]
+can specify that some pages are not locked for some users. For example,
+"important_page and !user(joey)" locks `important_page` while still
+allowing joey to edit it, while "!*/Discussion and user(bob)" prevents bob
+from editing pages except for Discussion pages.
