<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>[[Category:DQWiki Guidelines]]<br /> <br /> The &#039;&#039;&#039;DQWiki&#039;&#039;&#039; does not use software &#039;&#039;&#039;article locks&#039;&#039;&#039; on pages, because that would be contrary to the policy and spirit of openness. Page protection is not used for closing down an article&#039;s normal development and community editing.<br /> <br /> ==&lt;nowiki&gt;{{inuse}}&lt;/nowiki&gt; template==<br /> On the other hand we &#039;&#039;do&#039;&#039; have &lt;nowiki&gt;{{inuse}}&lt;/nowiki&gt; 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&#039;re done. If you do use such a &quot;lock&quot; please be responsive to any inquiries about the lock. The template looks like this:<br /> <br /> {{inuse}}<br /> <br /> ==&lt;nowiki&gt;{{Inusefor|time (message)}}&lt;/nowiki&gt; template==<br /> Also, &lt;nowiki&gt;{{Inusefor|time (message)}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;. See [[Template talk:Inusefor|Talk]] for how to use and examples.<br /> <br /> {{Inusefor|time (message)}}</div>
