As for the "lock database" of the
developers: as far as I understand,
there is no developer permission in the downloaded MediaWiki (it's an
extension, I think, and so is the permission to lock databases), and the
"lock database" affects talk pages as well as content pages.
"developer" is a more or less unused permission which is required to
access Special:Lockdb and Special:Unlockdb. Neither of those are
what's desired.
