 The codex has, for the most part, been migrated to HelpHub and DevHub now,
 and it's primarily a matter of setting up redirects, and clearing out spam
 that requires edits on the codex.

 In light of this, I'm proposing we look at making the Codex readonly to
 avoid further edits that may fragment the imports already made, and to
 prevent spam edits. This doesn't need to be done in a week (although that
 would be nice ;) ), but setting a clear cutoff date seems reasonable and
 sets expectations.

 I don't know how old our MediaWiki setup is so I don't know if we have
 these features, but my thought was:
 - Set it to readonly
 - Use the moderation feature to add users doing migration so they can keep
 adding redirects and removing the spam that's already there spread within
 the pages as it's discovered.
