Locked pages

This is a list of the pages that can only be updated by the documentation admins. Pages are added to the list when they are considered "set in stone" by the Drupal community. This includes coding best practices, security standards, and steps to install Drupal. These pages were locked as a step to opening the handbook to editing by all authenticated Drupal.org visitors. Additional information is available from: http://drupal.org/node/310912.

Pages may also be locked from editing by the community at large due to input filter restrictions. This includes pages that contain inline images and tables. If you would like to edit these pages and are not a documentation admin, please make an issue indicating the page to be edited and the new text that should be added.
