I am relatively new to the MediaWiki and PHP scene. I

a few people setting up a wiki for our floor,

thing I am trying to do is set access control based on whether a user
is logged in for now. We have some information on there that we might
only want members to see, but most information would be public. I
have a few things I am trying to do, and any help in at least the
right direction to look for the information would be useful. If I was
not supposed to ask this question here, please let me know and feel
free to delete it. But here it goes...:
- I want to make a PHP process so that anything encapsulate in
<private></private> is not rendered if the user is not logged in.
I would not recommend this; the wiki is built with the assumption that
all pages are public, and that the source text of all pages is equally
public. If someone can view a page, they will certainly be able to
obtain the source text of that page, including anything inside such
tags.
- I would like to know if there is an easy way to add
pages to the
anonymous whitelist, and possibly if there is a way for a user to
specify if the page should be whitelisted or not
Not presently. You could write such a way, perhaps.
- Finally, we would like it if there was a way for
mediawiki to not
process any [[links]] that the user does not have access to, so that
they won't even know that there is a page there.
This is not supported; wikis are intended to be open-access and links
are links.
