Fixed page: Editable to?
Line 76:
It is a big myth on Wikipedia that certain pages, such as some articles on high-profile subjects, Featured articles, templates, and project pages are fixed, and can only be edited by those in a position of authority, with a certain level of experience, with a prior discussion, or otherwise with special permission.
 
[[WP:STONE|Nothing on Wikipedia is in stone]]. Not once. Ever. Every page is editable toby at least someone, and most pages are editable toby everyone. Editors are encouraged to [[WP:BOLD|be bold]] while at the same time wise and responsible in making edits. No pages in any namespace have any individualized guidelines for editing, and all is up to [[WP:COMMONSENSE|common sense]].
 
Some pages may have some form of [[WP:PADLOCK|protection]] to prevent some people from editing them. But when this is the case, it is not an endorsement of the current version or an expression of ownership, and the purpose is not to prevent good-faith edits. Protection is here to protect pages only from [[WP:VAN|vandalism]] and edit warring.
