Stripped down non-editable version of Mediawiki?

0
10

• MediaWiki version: 1.14 • PHP version: 5 • MySQL version: 5 • URL: n/a I am running Mediawiki on a subdomain (edit.example.com) to serve as the backend for my public site (www.example.com), which is running a separate copy of Mediawiki, both connected to the same database. I do NOT want the www.example version to be user-editable. The edit.example subdomain is only accessible from within my LAN, not to the world. Since ALL management of the wiki will happen at edit.example, is there a way to strip down the code running at www.example to remove all edit functionality, user logins, maintenance scripts, many special pages, etc.? This would, in theory, be more secure (fewer attack vectors) and faster (less code to execute). To do this, there would either need to be a ‘non-editable’ branch of Mediawiki, or good documentation on how to safely neuter a copy of the current Mediawiki version.
