Only if a big problem, I'd suggest that specific text (not whole articles) be protected, but not locked. Eg implementing a requirement for confirmation by multiple editors before it is published. A lock would be too likely to thwart legitimate edits and could be abused by moderators.

Moreover, there was already a preliminary study on vandalisms on Wikidata, and it found out that vandalism impact is very low and most of the vandalisms happen to "sensitive" items such as... FC Barcelona, Justin Bieber, and the like.
Let's continue as we did all these years: if something's wrong, just fix it; if something becomes a vandal target, (ask to) protect it.
