Add ability to lock wiki
For certain teams, we would only want a couple of people to be able to edit the wiki page, with the rest having view only. Or at the least, a way to track and approve/ reject proposed edits.

A little disheartening that this question was comment was posted in 2017 and people are still asking for the feature to be implemented in 2020.
Please add this feature. It is urgently needed.
Ideally, 'owners' would be able to add/edit. And 'members' would be in read-only mode.

This feature is absolutely, desperately required. Come on MS, this is your time to own this work space.

Must have this ability to restrict editing to a designated group. And method to approve/reject proposed edits to Wiki.

Would like a similar action to the SharePoint Wiki pages where you can Checkout the page whilst doing a large edit. Could be used by the meeting Chair to lock the page until the meeting is over.

+1, so important on big teams with entry level staff and multiple leadership layers.
Please make this adjustable per channel or per wiki.

Frankly, this seems like an MVP requirement. Falling back to another tool for now.

Absolutely vital that editing permissions can be assigned via membership/owner status. While the information shared is vital for the entire team, it is constantly evolving and needs updated frequently...but only by the team owners. Locking tabs will also ensure no edits/deletions of vital information happens mistakenly. This is an absolute must!

I have tried the method of Jeff Poblocki but there's a few things to consider. At first this appeared to work, but yesterday we found out that in some way users were again able to edit the wiki. The weird thing is that the changes did not appear in the SharePoint library backing it but were visible for other users in Teams. When I removed the changed made, the SharePoint library reflected my update (as I have permissions on it) but not the one of the colleague who's permissions I removed earlier. So this solution is definitely not watertight and it almost appears as if the SharePoint library is storing merely a copy of the content.
Also, messing up with the permissions on the Wiki library will very likely impact wiki content across channels, be aware of that when making any changes.
As for the implementation; it would be sufficient for our usecase to have a setting for a team where one can specify who has permission to use each of the tabs (chat, files, wiki). For us this doesn't need to be more fine grained than "only owners" + "owners + members".
