How can I restrict editing by everyone?

[SteveMann]

I have moved my MediaWiki from a Raspberry Pi to an Intel NUC.  I want to leave the MediaWiki on the Pi running, just in case I missed something in the move.  But I want to turn off editing so that I don't accidentally try to dd new information to an old wiki.

I put this into my /var/www/html/LocalSettings.php file (on the Pi)

#Restrict editing by absolutely everyone
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false;
$wgGroupPermissions['user']['edit'] = false;
$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['edit'] = false;

Yet, I can still edit.

What did I miss?

Thanks.

Hi,

if you want to revoke the permission for everyone to edit then the easiest way is to use $wgRevokePermissions:

$wgRevokePermissions['*']['edit'] = true;

But since you apparently want to lock all the wiki maybe consider locking the database (it will assure that nothing will move), using special:Lockdb or this:

$wgReadOnly = "The reason";
