In a few cases I have used the Wikipost to create instructions for the thread. Previously, I would have used the first post in the thread for this purpose, but it's easier for members to navigate to the Wikipost than to the root post.

The system remembers if you have Wikiposts expanded or collapsed. If you collapse a Wikipost, you won't see any of them until you expand one with the +/- toggle.

And your example makes sense to me.
I can see this being sensible where the thread itself is also locked. For a good example, see http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/credi...scription.html. In this case, the lock isn't punitive, but rather a means of protecting a wiki/thread where a non-mod volunteer actively curates the info.
Cheers.

We're a bit off the original topic, but out of curiosity why would a wiki be locked/only a mod can edit? I know that was the case several months ago when they were first being tested, but once testing was over/they went live I don't see a reason to have a wiki locked. That seems to defeat the purpose of a wiki. On a dif note - learned something today. Never noticed the + or - before on the wikis.
Cheers.
