### Edit controls
-Wiki admins can [[lock_pages|page_locking]] so that only other admins can
-edit them. Or a wiki can be set up to allow anyone to edit Discussion
-pages, but only registered users to edit other pages. These are just two
-possibilities, since page edit controls can be changed via plugins.

-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 [[ikiwiki/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.
