I think Joshua Oreman's approach gets the presentation correct (read-only page) but doesn't secure the page (e.g., against adding "action=edit" to a URL and hacking the page).
Setting Title::userCan('edit') to false also causes the read-only page to be displayed without patching EditPage.php.
That patch is to EditPage::edit(). See the comment at the top of that function. /** * This is the function that gets called for "action=edit". */ It works fine against &action=edit.
You're going to be patching Title.php or EditPage.php whatever you do; the test I gave should work equally well in either one (with minor modifications).
Yes, that's a patch against 1.5.

I made a similar change in 1.4 by patching include/Title.php's "userCan()" function
I've put your hack into its own page on meta. If you've got your own user there, feel free to move it.

I'm interested to know if anyone figures something out for 1.5.. I feel that permissions is one of the major barriers to a certain kind of use of mediawiki.
Here's my (very very hacky) way of doing it:
Edit includes/EditPage.php. After these lines if ( !$wgUser->isAllowed('edit') ) { if ( $wgUser->isAnon() ) { $this->userNotLoggedInPage(); return; } else { $wgOut->readOnlyPage( $this->mArticle->getContent( true ), true ); return; } } (about line 185) add these lines: $this->mArticle->fetchContent(); if ( !$wgUser->isSysop() && $this->mArticle->mTitle->getNamespace() == NS_USER && $wgUser->getName() != $this->mArticle->mTitle->getText() ) { $wgOut->readOnlyPage ($this->mArticle->getContent (true), true); return; } Hope this helps.
