Template:Fake read-only

Makes editable page look like it's read only (like Gacha is). This template can only be used for hijinks, so it always assigns the category.

Has optional arguments:

• nobuttons=true to hide everything on the right except Read. example: Uneditable Page
• noedit=true to hide the edit buttons after a heading. Occasionally skipped on per-page CSS, so not included by default. example: Intentionally blank pages
• special=true to make it look like a special page. example: Search Page That Can't Be Created
• create=true to display as if the page does not exist yet.

Bonus tricks:

• Add {{#css: #t-recentchangeslinked, #t-permalink {display: none;} }} to a page with {{fake read-only|create=1}
  • This leaves no indication of page existence. Will not be included by default
  • On other wikis, the default "Powered by MediaWiki" button may appear slightly lower on a real page, and Parsoid's "Report visual bug" tool has an icon next to it.
• Keyboard shortcuts do not work on the Cosmos (Fandom-like) skin.
