The default behaviour of the platform is to make information easily accessible and editable. This is based on a belief that the more people are able to contribute to the information, the greater the probability is of the information improving in quality over time.
However, some information is not meant to change a lot, and some might even be harmful and non-compliant if it were inadvertantly changed.
