There is no way for the average Admin to close any wikis. Some wikis have a rare vandalism-fighting tool enabled (usually only Staff and VSTF have it) which *can* lockdown an entire wiki for up to a max of 12 hours. If this tool was used twice for something other than its intended purpose of clearing out extensive vandalism, that is a serious misuse and breach.

Without that tool, all you have is a declaration of "we're closed today" and that is both Not Right and Not Enforceable beyond mass blocks. And being done on Christmas, a case of *discrimination* can be alleged for those who don't observe the holiday. Which could be a TOU violation.

MIND YOU, I'm *not* Staff so this assessment is *my* opinion and not necessarily what Staff may arrive at, but is the best recourse.
