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.
