Good idea Tobias : ) really it doesn't need much more to get the thing done. I think it would be even faster if there would be a subfolder next to the wiki file within the shared folder. Inside this subfolder there would be one .png files with just one big red circle, named STOP. Whenever someone is editing the file, he / she places the red dot file outside the subfolder, next to the wiki file. When he / she finishes, he/ she just replace the red dot file into the subfolder. For me this would be even more straight forward, since there is not even the need to rename an extra file; I find more confortable the action of drag dropping files, but I guess that depends on the tastes of every one ; )
