Hi!

As what Anzu-TLK said, the high number of edits (that were basically undoing each other) is edit warring. When controversial announcements like this happen, we usually lock the page the moment that edit wars begin to happen. Pinewood Builders is not the only page that has been protected in the wiki's history (I beleive we had to recently protect the Guest page after people started edit warring on that page when the dev forms said guests were being removed). The protection is a way to prevent the edit war from getting worse -sometimes, people get so upset when their edits are reverted during an edit war that they go on to vandalize the page (like blanking it and saying "U SUCK!!! GUESTS ARE BEING REMOVED!!!!").

Whenever I protect a page, I revert it to the most recent edit prior to when I beleive the edit war started. Sometimes, if I try to revert it to a more recent but "truthful" version, I'm adding inaccuracies to the page (especially if what has happened does not turn out to be true). Once the protection is over, you can certainly update the page. If the admins think that the page needs to be updated before then (like we get a more official announement instead of a photo of a discord chat. Photos can be easily manipulated), then we can go into the page while it's protected and update it.
