Forum:Wiki Lock Down

Alright, so I realize this may be a little early, as Season Five may be confirmed, but this proposal seems necessary if TDRI is the final season. I'd like to propose a lock down after the series ends. Perhaps we'd take a month to clean up all the pages, and then lock every single one of them. I know this seems extreme, but when I look back on this wiki, I don't want to see some of the pages destroyed or vandalized. This proposal will be on going, since it is a rather large decision, and will have no vote limit.-- Bigez -  Bigger!   Badder! EZer!  05:50, January 15, 2012 (UTC)

Support

 * 1) Listen, I know this is too early, but it's a good idea. If it's confirmed that the series is ending, we should do this. It doesn't have to be done now but I say the proposal should be passed before this happens. --TDIFan13 (My Talk andMy Contributions! ) 05:55, January 15, 2012 (UTC)

 * 3) It's a little early to make this decision, but yes. I don't want this wiki to be overrun and torn apart by noobs and vandals once we all leave.  TDA15  talks and  edits 06:03, January 15, 2012 (UTC)

 * 8) Right, it may be too early but it is the best decision. I agree. We all love this wiki, do we? Then we should make what's right for it: Support. We'll still have chat and we'll still can edit talk pages and stuff like that. It is just a little change, nothing more. And because I wrote so much I'm just going to end like this: Support. ● Mocky ●  I'm awesome. Deal with it. ಠ_ಠ  10:13, January 15, 2012 (UTC)

 * 11) I guess, but there's some flaws to this: What happens if new things from previous season get announced? What happens if there's a season 5? And what happens if we want to add new images to pages afterward? -- Webkinz Mania  Talk  Blogs  Contributions  Editcount   12:13, January 15, 2012 (UTC)

 * 13) I guess 2012 is not just the end of the world, it might also be the end of this Wiki. I knew this day would come, but hey, it's for our own good. :) Locking this entire Wiki is a much better idea rather than continuing to maintain the Wiki from vandals for the next 100 years after the show is over. :P At least I know that I won't have to be here forever. :D  T o t  a l  D  r a  m  a R  e  v e  n  g e   <font color="darkblue" size="5pt">!  <font color="brown" size="5pt">( <font color="orange" size="3pt" face="times new roman">Talk <font color="brown" size="5pt">)  02:04, February 3, 2012 (UTC)
 * 14) This seems like a good idea and thus I support it, but can a specific page be unlocked momentarily if someone creates a large summary edit for an episode/Total Drama Island Character Section (and mentions it on, say the IRC)? --Codyfan12 (Wait, who's that guy?) 05:59, February 4, 2012 (UTC)

What if not all the information is written down and what if some of it isn't true? we can't do this. That is what wikis are for. D: Emongalovaaa 06:11, January 15, 2012 (UTC)

That's why I suggested a month to clean up.-- Bigez -  Bigger!   Badder! EZer!  06:15, January 15, 2012 (UTC)

will we be able to chatAngelgirl100 06:17, January 15, 2012 (UTC)

Sure. We'll still have the IRC and Wiki Chat. --<font color="#ff0000">TDIFan13 (<font color="#4b0082">My Talk and<font color="#4b0082">My Contributions! ) 06:18, January 15, 2012 (UTC)

But what can we do? I mean, I still want to see more of Gwen and the upcoming TD shows and specials, I mean, you can't just close this Wiki forever! TDAfan1111 06:25, January 15, 2012 (UTC)

Who said anything about closing the wiki down? :p ~ So if I had toast,  would you want swap it with me for your EPICNESS?   HELL NO.  06:26, January 15, 2012 (UTC)

I'm sorry. But I still love Gwen and TDRI is NOT the final season, there is a season five. TDAfan1111 06:29, January 15, 2012 (UTC)

We're not closing the wiki. We're locking it after the series ends. It doesn't have to be TDRI. If there is a season five, great. If there's a season six, even better. But when the producers call it quits, we should start thinking about the state that we want our wiki in. --<font color="#ff0000">TDIFan13 (<font color="#4b0082">My Talk and<font color="#4b0082">My Contributions! ) 06:40, January 15, 2012 (UTC)

I suggest that this vote doesn't have an end date just yet. ~ <font face="Samdan"> <font color="LimeGreen">CD-TDA    Marshmallow Transparent.png 12:44, January 15, 2012 (UTC)

Okay, I'm a little iffy on this. I don't know what side to pick. Would it be a support or an oppose? However, like WM said above; there are some flaws to this. And adding on, what happens if people want to chat with one another in Wikia Chat? What happens when they want to edit their userpage or talk page? Anyway, I'll see how this vote works out, I'm not voting just yet. ♥    NThree      Talk to me! :3   |   ♥   15:02, January 15, 2012 (UTC)

N3, this is just for mainspace articles. You can still talk on Chat and use other people's userpages. --<font color="#ff0000">TDIFan13 (<font color="#4b0082">My Talk and<font color="#4b0082">My Contributions! ) 03:00, January 25, 2012 (UTC)

why do we have to do this?? ☻Esther2108☻Me like beans☻Gwuncan 4ever! 07:04, January 16, 2012 (UTC)

So nobody vandalizes the crap out of it.-- Bigez -  Bigger!   Badder! EZer!  03:38, January 22, 2012 (UTC)

Why would someone do THAT? It doesn't make any sense to me.... Zac757 03:46, January 22, 2012 (UTC)

Because vandals are generally very eager when they see an open, unattended wiki. Locking the wiki after the show ends is best because nobody will come on in the distant future and ruin all our hard work. Plus, if we catch a spelling mistake after locking a page, an admin can always edit it. We will, however, take a full month to clean up and perfect the wiki before orchestrating a permanent lockdown. --<font color="#ff0000">TDIFan13 (<font color="#4b0082">My Talk and<font color="#4b0082">My Contributions! ) 05:00, January 22, 2012 (UTC)

You're going to take time to lock all 450 articles? (Or are you just gonna ask a staffer to lock Special:AllPages?) - Anyways, I want to support, but I'm resisiting the urge to. I know it's for the best, and hopefully we'll all keep in touch after TD dies, but I just can't support. ~ <span style="color:purple; text-shadow: 0 0 0.2em #B8BEE0, 0 0 0.2em #B8BEE0, 0 0 0.2em #B8BEE0, 0 0 0.2em #B8BEE0">M <span style="color:grey; text-shadow: 0 0 0.2em #B8BEE0, 0 0 0.2em #B8BEE0, 0 0 0.2em #B8BEE0, 0 0 0.2em #B8BEE0">T<span style="color:blue; text-shadow: 0 0 0.2em #B8BEE0, 0 0 0.2em #B8BEE0, 0 0 0.2em #B8BEE0, 0 0 0.2em #B8BEE0">D<span style="color:#6E6EF7; text-shadow: 0 0 0.2em #B8BEE0, 0 0 0.2em #B8BEE0, 0 0 0.2em #B8BEE0, 0 0 0.2em #B8BEE0">M   <span style="color:black; text-shadow: 0 0 0.2em #C285E0, 0 0 0.2em #C285E0, 0 0 0.2em #C285E0, 0 0 0.2em #C285E0">01:36, February 3, 2012 (UTC)
