Description

We're almost done with converting mediawiki.org's LQT pages to Flow. We still need a shell of LQT to keep the history running, but we need a way to stop people from creating new LQT pages with the magic word.

'wmgLiquidThreadsBackfill' => array(
	// Preserve access to LQT namespaces after removing the extension
	'default' => false,
	'officewiki' => true, // replaced with Flow 2014-11-25
),

Will that work in this case?

We talked about this in one of the meetings, and decided to use standard LiquidThreads for now, but with no LQT pages or the possibility to create them. The old wmgLiquidThreadsBackfill would have worked to stop creation (since it disables LQT entirely), but didn't handle logs.

Yeah, but I have no idea how long Project:Support_desk will take to finish converting, so let's just schedule it when that's done.
