DQWiki:Edit lock

The DQWiki does not use software article locks on pages, because that would be contrary to the policy and spirit of openness. Page protection is not used for closing down an article's normal development and community editing.

{{inuse}} template

On the other hand we do have {{inuse}} tags, which can be used to alert people that you are in the process of making a larger edit (within 30 - 180 minutes). The article remains open to editing, but courteous users should leave it alone until you're done. If you do use such a "lock" please be responsive to any inquiries about the lock. The template looks like this:

This article is actively undergoing a major edit.
As a courtesy, please do not edit this article while this message is displayed. The person who added this notice will be listed in its edit history should you wish to contact him or her.

{{Inusefor|time (message)}} template

Also, {{Inusefor|time (message)}}. See Talk for how to use and examples.

This article is actively undergoing a major edit for time (message).
As a courtesy, please do not make edits to this article while this message is displayed in order to avoid edit conflicts. If you need to know who is working on the article and when the edit session began, please check the edit history.
