Details[edit | edit source]

Functionally this setting is the same as $wgReadOnlyFile, but uses a variable instead of a file.

If set to a string in "LocalSettings.php", $wgReadOnly disallows editing, displaying the string given as the reason. The reason provided is preceded by the contents of MediaWiki:Readonlywarning.

$wgReadOnly = 'This wiki is currently being upgraded to a newer software version.';

The above example locks the database and provides a default statement on edit pages and also gives the included string 'This wiki is currently being upgraded to a newer software version.' as an explanation for why the database was locked.

Some of your installed extensions may write data nonetheless.
