Sorry, there was a lot that I wanted to say.

Lockdown means that the wiki is locked to editors. There are several levels of lockdown, depending on needs. Most frequently, it gets locked by staff when the servers are having issues, and all it means is that you can't edit for a certain amount of time (usually hours). A couple times, we've had to lock the wiki to anonymous and new editors while the VSTF took care of a prolific spammer. In either case, you will see a special notice or error message when you attempt to edit the page. In such cases, you can save the changes to a text file on your computer, and try the edit again later (usually, no more than a few hours at most).
