Clearly I'm not your typical user / reader, then.

I'll tell you why I was looking at that particular page: I was trying to figure our the actress who played Sienna, as I thought I recognised her, but I couldn't find any details on her in my usual source of first resort (imdb or tvrage). So I was really glad to find her details on this wiki! It was exactly the kind of info I think wikis are designed for.

I would have thought this was a typical use case for your wiki in the first day or so after a new episode airs. I stand corrected.

BTW, it turns out I did know the actress, just with very differnt hair and make up. She's a regular on Continuum.

As regards editing restrictions, I still think you need to put up a document detailling all the restrictions, so at least it's there to be found if you look. Yes, most people won't read it, but at least give those of us who do make a effort to check out documentation _before_ bothering admins a chance to understand what's going on.

I have edited other wikis, including Wikipedia, mostly on an ad hoc basis. And while the rules may be the same for all wikia wikis, they are certainly not universal for all wikis out there on the web. So you can't assume people know how wikia works.

I saw some other comments on chat elsewhere on this site from a contributor and he seemed confused as well why a page was locked and what to do about it.

I know you have time problems just now, and all I'm saying is that when you have time again, you may want to consider giving a page explaining the editing and locked pages rules some priority.

Thanks for listening!
