Sometimes some pages are too important to allow them to be casually moved about or deleted by site editors. An editor may think nothing of renaming a page's slug, or deleting a page to replace it with something similar, perhaps unaware of effects on SEO. Also, certain pages might be essential to keep in place because of a site's structure, or because of aspects of a custom theme.

This plugin lets administrators "lock" any or all pages. "Locking" here basically means preventing non-admins from:

• Editing the page's slug
• Changing the page's parent
• Deleting the page

NOTE: Currently, I've been unable to get this working with the Quick Edit functionality. As a stop-gap measure, which is only in place because it seems to be better than nothing, the Quick Edit link is removed for users who can't edit locked pages. I know, it's not great. But until I work out how to selectively block Quick Editing, I'm assuming a locked page should be locked. Users can always edit the other fields via the normal edit page.
