From a technical perspective, yes. This could be implemented as a

If you have people who are willing to code the blackout banner in
CentralNotice, it could be implemented immediately. If you need
technical support on this or want to actually lock zh.wiki to be
read-only during the blackout, that will require assistance from the
WMF and thus some spin-up time. The en.wiki blackout was implemented
as a CentralNotice banner, although we also locked the project to
prevent people who had Javascript disabled from getting around the
blackout (which may have been overkill in my opinion). If you want
to study the en.wiki blackout banner, it can be seen here:
