echo "The wiki is down for maintenance, please try again later..." > index.html
On a second thought, that won't prevent direct links like http://server/wiki/index.php?title=...
Doesn't MediaWiki have an on/off switch?
That would be useful during version upgrades. Putting and exit on LocalSettings is not a good solution because the database upgrade script will not run.
