I would like to setup my wiki so that when I click on a page that is blank I get the "There is currently no text in this page. You can search for this page title in other pages, search the related logs, or edit this page." message instead of the edit box. Can this be done?
Yes, you can.
For guest users it is quite simple editing "LocalSettings.php": --- $wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false; ---
That means: Guest users cannot edit anymore and the edit page is disabled. It might be more tricky if you want to do it for every user.
Best regards, Claus
