Would I simply add to LocalSettings.php the line:
$wgNamespaceProtection[NS_MAIN] = array( 'sysop' );
Yeah, pretty much. You may also need to add:
$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['sysop'] = true;
I'm not sure if that's set by default, or not. (There is a difference between the sysop group and a sysop permission, so you need to explictly give the sysop group the sysop permission.)
