The reason why some articles are locked is because the history of large vandalism, testing out some new topics, or anything else. It can be that contributors do not understand the situation and ask why the articles are locked or evenly ask to unlock the article. Evenly, if there is a answer said, some contributors are asking when the article will be unlocked. Here are some reasons why it cannot be under different section headers.

Fully protected

Yo-kai Watch Encyclopedia staff can protect the article fully, but only if it is necessary and not used for their own selfish reasons. Here are some main reasons why the articles are fully locked.

  • Contributors are adding fan theories in articles that are always 100% inaccurate.
  • Contributors commiting edit war with each other by undoing work of one another.
  • Staff members are testing things out for the time being or they are revampoing the article because of a change of the style guide.
  • Some articles are not meant to be contributed by contributors, such as categories, templates and the policy guidelines.

Note: Articles will not be unlocked even if a contibutor will ask for it. The limited time can be up to 2 to 5 months.
