I've been editing on several wikis and locking pages like that would be very unpopular and would drive away editors that would edit well. Usually vandalism is rolledback by users with such a right, and the vandal is ip banned so he won't create it again. That usually keeps things calm. We also need to expand the policy to make guidlines clear on what is and isn't acceptable as well as list the consequences for violations. Preventing a lot of good editors from editing a page because of one bad egg isn't the way to go, especially since you're calling for locking all other pages related to said page.
