Admins have decided to set up a "Protected" class of pages.
Here is the link to the mainsite discussion;

The basics of it are that Protected pages have ratings disabled and are otherwise locked by administration. We're doing this currently on 2721 because of the recent Events; a majority of people can look and see this is an outside-influenced influx of negative attention that has otherwise not affected other articles on the site.
An actual rules-bound statement and general policy is forthcoming. Most administrators are fine with "Rare, in response to massive outside voting influence, administrative purview", and in my personal opinion it's impossible to have a rigid set of rules for this because it won't happen like this again any time soon. But a general statement for the main wiki rules or admin rules won't hurt.
ChaoSera walked me through how to redirect these pages and set up the lock specifically and was generally OK with it on a tech side.
I will repeat, this will not be used often. This is a rare tool we will use only sparingly.
