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. + +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. + +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. + +Wiki administrators can always edit locked pages. |
