Category:Locked

Category: Locked — items in this Locked category here on WikiIndex are wiki sites that have had their wiki database locked. A locked database cannot process new technical actions; including logging in, nor creating new accounts, nor editing.

On MediaWiki sites, their database can be locked in the following ways:
 * Via Special:LockDB by a wiki founder or owner;
 * Setting the $wgRead-only variable in LocalSettings.php to 'true' by a server administrator.

Usually, wikis with a locked database are only temporary; although occasionally an abandoned wiki will indefinitely lock its database to prevent other people from trying to adopt it, or spam it.
