dang-it I could swear I've seen this addressed already on the list, or on meta, but I can't seem to find it.
Is there a line you can add to LocalSettings.php to set mediawiki 1.2.6 to read-only mode?
I want to be able to do this so I can do a parallel upgrade to 1.3.0 while keeping a copy available for consumption (but no editing of content) to the users.
Best Regards,
JT
