I am sure other people can fill in, but I heard there has been some movement within the parliament in reaction. They are reconsidering a portion of that law that might affect us, or so I have been told.

Can someone clarify?

Of all the ways to protest the law, I think it.wp chose the most noticeable way. If something like a sitenotice were implemented, many people would just scroll past it. Even if not, they would only read it a couple times, because people access Wikipedia for the content. OTOH, just locking Editing privileges would only impact the people who are already aware of the proposed law. The protest would have no impact on the readership.
Just my two cents

The only thing we truly could do is restore read access. But if the it.wikipedia community really wants to strike, there's very little we can do to stop them. :)
I sure agree with that. There're plenty of ways to inflict pain without
terminating the service entirely.
Editor strike means not editing, it doesn't mean full service downtime.
Full-page banners or whatever else may work, of course.
When writers guild went on strike, we could still watch old stuff, right,
it wasn't pulled ;-)
If doctors go on strike, people are still allowed to live, retroactive
disease correction is not done...
How do we deal with an editor who starts deleting his contributions out
of spite?
