[Mediawiki-l] How to Temp. Disable Wiki.

[Bass, Joshua L]

Sorry, I overlooked that. You can include the entire array in
Localsettings.php as I have done:

/**
 * Permission keys given to users in each group.
 * All users are implicitly in the '*' group including anonymous
visitors;
 * logged-in users are all implicitly in the 'user' group. These will be
 * combined with the permissions of all groups that a given user is
listed
 * in in the user_groups table.
 *
 * This replaces wgWhitelistAccount and wgWhitelistEdit
 */
$wgGroupPermissions = array();

$wgGroupPermissions['*'    ]['createaccount']   = false;
$wgGroupPermissions['*'    ]['read']            = false;
$wgGroupPermissions['*'    ]['edit']            = false;

$wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['move']            = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['read']            = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['edit']            = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['upload']          = true;

$wgGroupPermissions['bot'  ]['bot']             = true;

$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['block']           = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['read']            = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['edit']            = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['createaccount']   = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['delete']          = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['editinterface']   = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['import']          = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['importupload']    = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['move']            = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['patrol']          = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['protect']         = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['rollback']        = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['upload']          = true;

$wgGroupPermissions['bureaucrat']['userrights'] = true;
// Used by the Special:Renameuser extension
$wgGroupPermissions['bureaucrat']['renameuser'] = true;

Watch out.  This clears the permissions array; see below.
I'd recommend removing this line.

There's no "sysop" entries in there.  If you use this code, sysops won't
have any special permissions.  Thus, there will be no type of user
allowed to delete pages.  I doubt this is what you want.
