Does using $wgNamespaceProtection give me the option to restrict editing anything in a namespace (except the talk pages) to a particular group? I'm guessing I can create a custom group of people and don't have to use the default sysop / bureaucrat stuff.
Yes, it requires the user to have a permission (which you can give to a custom group). Talk pages are not affected, as Talk_X is a different namespace than X
