[edit] Usage

This extension will automatically lock the database from any further changes if a sysop has not been on the wiki recently (determined by $wgAbsenteeLandlordMaxDays). This helps prevent dead or inactive wikis from becoming spambot targets. To unlock the database, a sysop simply needs to visit the wiki again.

[edit] Installation

Please download the code, then add the following to LocalSettings.php:

require_once("$IP/extensions/AbsenteeLandlord/AbsenteeLandlord.php");
$wgAbsenteeLandlordMaxDays = 90; //max # of days the wiki can be modified without having an active sysop
