Manual:$wgReadOnly/fr

Détails
C'est fonctionnellement la même chose que $wgReadOnlyFile, mais en utilisant une variable au lieu d'un fichier.

S'il est mis à une chaîne (par ex., dans LocalSettings.php), $wgReadOnly désactive l'édition, affichant la chaîne fournie comme raison.

$wgReadOnly = 'maintenance du site'; L'exemple ci-dessus verrouille la base de données et fournit une déclaration par défaut sur les pages d'édition, et donne aussi la chaîne incluse 'maintenance du site' comme explication pourquoi la base de données a été verrouillée. Wikitext is allowed in this string and will be rendered when the read-only warning is shown which can be used to provide links or highlight upgrade notifications.

In contrast to its name, this settings does not make the database read only! Even if  is set, extensions, API scripts and other cachable events can write data nonetheless.

DB caching
Caches that use the database cannot be written to during read only mode, which could prevent more than just editing (depending on the configuration, logging in or even viewing pages). This can be avoided by disabling cache, albeit at the cost of making your wiki slow. This can be accomplished with the following settings in LocalSettings.php:

If you want your wiki to be fast, while still not using the DB, you should consider using something like Memcached. See  and   for details. If you want to enable logins while the database is readonly, at least  needs to be set to some real non-DB caching mechanism.

Thumbnails
When in read-only mode, images which need to be transformed or scaled will be shown as an error message instead of as an image. To avoid this problem, put the following in LocalSettings.php:
