How do I protect part of a page with MediaWiki?
I want to let users annotate a historical document line by line without changing the historical document itself. Example:
Four score and seven years ago <- this would be protected (no edit, no delete) a score is 20 years <- would be editable/deletable our fathers brought forth upon this continent <- protected [this section could be blank if no one had any annotations on that line] a new nation, conceived in liberty <- protected
Protected lines/section could only be unprotected, deleted, or changed by WikiSysop or equivalent. Ideally, protected sections would be in a different font/color/style to differentiate the original document from the annotations.
Can I do something like this directly? Using a plug-in? Indirectly?
