The CockLock extension displays an icon indicator on edit-protected pages with the icon varying depending on the page's restriction level (semi-protection/full protection).

It was written by Jack Phoenix for Uncyclopedia in response to the Uncyclopedia Community Wishlist Survey of 2022.

Installation

1. Download and place the files in a directory called CockLock in your extensions/ folder.
2. Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:

   wfLoadExtension( 'CockLock' );
   

3.  Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.

Customization

Customizing the lock images

By default, if no custom locks are configured, the Padlock.svg file from Wikimedia Commons will be used.

To customize, upload the desired images as:

• CockLock icon semiprotected.svg
• CockLock icon fully protected.svg

Only .svg icons are supported (as of extension version 1.3.1). The normal size in which the image will be rendered is 20 pixels. HiDPI is supported.

Help page

The CockLock images link to the page specified in MediaWiki:Cocklock-help-page, which by default is Project:Protected page, but you'll want to change that if your wiki has information about what a protected page is and why pages are protected etc. at a different location.
