[Mediawiki-l] $wgNamespaceProtection

[Frederich, Eric P21322]

Jack,

I created an account "Ericfrederich".  Please give me access to this
information.

Some questions about the lockdown.php extension.
Does it allow me to have a handful of pages only editable by a
particular group and another handful of pages only editable by another
group?

~Eric

Eric,

I use the lockdown.php extension - and I'm loving it.

I was going to put the full instructions, but frankly they're just too
long.
If you register at our development wiki, I'll give you access (may take
a
day or so).

Start here:

Then go to

Of course, as always, I probably did it the hard way.

I finally got a test environment set up so I can try out different
methods
for access control.

The first one I wanted to try was suggested by Platonides.

I took a look at the diffs at
http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki?view=rev&revision=19110 and
applied them manually to included/Title.php and
includes/DefaultSettings.php.

This is as far as I got.
I guess since it isn't included in the default download of MediaWiki
there
isn't much talk about using it out there.
Could someone explain to me how I would use this to restrict editing of
pages in "namespace x" to users in "group y"?

Thanks,
~Eric
