Description Alex Komoroske 2012-10-02 21:49:40 UTC 
As a last-ditch safety valve if the site is going to go down
Comment 1 Ryan Lane 2012-10-02 22:12:53 UTC 
For MediaWiki, we can set $wgReadOnly.

I've added this variable to the bottom of Settings.php. To use this, just uncomment the line and deploy.
Comment 2 Alex Komoroske 2012-10-02 23:11:18 UTC 
Great. I'll leave this open until we get a chance to test that and 100% verify that it works.
Comment 3 Ryan Lane 2012-10-04 02:00:29 UTC 
Checked this. Done.
