Honestly I think it's great the way it is now, if you allow people to put 'false information' people'll get confused, I mean it's difficult to know wether what everybody says is true or not and by excluding anything that is not confirmed as a fact you make sure everybode know that wathever you read on this wiki is true. I mean I've seen wikis who do that and I really get head aches because of it. I don't know wether it is true or false! Maybe you should allow speculation and "false information" in comment when the person who writes the comment warns you something like

'this is just a speculation' or 'this is canon' so people know it could be false

If you wanna speculate: there are a dozen other sites that do allow speculation. i like that when I read comments now I KNOW it's true.

The locking the page for edit is a bit too much but really I don't believe it's that important, the pages contain what they should (in my opinion) and it's clear, it's not too much but it is sufficient. Like I said I know wikis who do it differently with other people editing, it gets really messy! Besides I think the wiki is more about getting information than anything else, there are loads of other sites where you can do everything you want but having a site like this (only with facts) is really useful and I'd really regret it if it would change too much.

But that's my opinion
