Manual talk:$wgReadOnly

Where is that message supposed to be seen?
A question from an idiot, shame on me, but I really can't find it... I insert into the settings file this text: "$wgReadOnly= ('some irrelevant explanation');" It works, because no one can edit while it is set - source view opens instead. And it doesn't work, because I don't see my text! May some other setting have interfered with it? Ilana 15:06, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Try  (same as before, but without the parentheses). i Alex  16:42, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
