 For upstream/Fedora the versionlock plugin now comes with a command,
so, for example, to versionlock your Xorg drivers you just do:

# yum install yum-plugin-versionlock
[...]
# yum versionlock xorg-x11-drv-\*
[...]
# 

...but, yes, any help updating/maintaining the Wiki/FAQ/etc. would be
appreciated.
