Help:$smwgChangePropagationProtection

is a configuration parameter that sets whether property and category pages are protected from editing while a property change propagation is being processed. It serves as an emergency configuration parameter to unlock the property pages in case some "ChangePropagationDispatchJob" went missing thus making the property page inaccessible for further editing.CiteRef::mail:user:smw:36898049 Normally this should not be necessary though since a purge should be able to fetch a missing update by scheduling a new job. This setting was introduced in .CiteRef::gh:smw:2494

This means that edit protection of property and category pages is suspended even though a property change propagation was triggered, i.e. they can still be edited. This may for example be necessary if someone manually cleans the job table and an existing "ChangePropagationDispatchJob" was not finished meaning that at this point the property page still continues to be annotated with the  and so does the locked. Thus this setting allows to trigger the change propagation process again.
