+> The edit and preferences links can already be disabled by editing
+> `page.tmpl`. (Look for PREFSURL and EDITURL).
+> 
+> More to the point though, disabling those links does not disable anyone
+> consticting the urls by hand and logging in and editing a page. So you'd
+> really want to disable the editpage plugin in the setup file for the
+> public, static wiki. Sounds like you might also want to turn off cgi
