Unless you consider proper updates from an anon or alternate account as vandalism, which is wrong by core definition, so I don't know why you'd be making that connection. I'm using it as an example; Vandalism is a common portal to acts of hate, racism etc. on this wiki. Take a look at the series of vandalisms on Aeriyth's page. While we can't be sure of the vandler's motives we can assume by the edits made that they were of some kind of discrimination motivation.

As for my idea of locking, I'm merely playing around with it, not fully suggesting we use it. If authors of private (E.G their main character's pages) pages could lock thier pages, it would prevent vandalisms from occuring. E.G., Aeriyth could lock her Aeriyth page so only she and a select number of people (Including the Admins) could edit it. This would allow page sovreinty and to avoid any drama. Of course, if one wished to make an edit on a private page, they would have to ask for permission within the comments section. That would mean that the author wouldn't have to deal with clearing unwated edits.

Of course, this is simply an idea. The personnal locking would only be for character pages, excluding any fanon or public pages such as, say...Sea category.

Thanks.

P.S. Aretain, get too worked up! :D
