Category:Locked — items in this Locked category are wikis that have had their database locked. A locked database cannot handle new technical actions, including logging in, nor creating new accounts.
On MediaWiki sites, their database can be locked in the following ways:
- Via Special:LockDB by a wiki founder or owner;
- Setting the $wgReadOnly 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.
